Christmas is nipping on our heels like an excited puppy. This is because, for the first time in a few years, we might be able to have a normal Christmas. This means big parties and get-togethers with your friends and lots of Christmas gifts.
This also means that intense Christmas shopping is back. If you are stuck for ideas for Christmas gifts, here are some things that people would love to see under the tree.
Smelly bag
If you are not sure what a smelly bag is, we are happy to break it down for you. A smelly bag is a gift bag that is packed with different beauty products. This can be created for men or women, completely tailored to their needs, and helps to prevent a lot of plastic from going into a landfill. Not only is this a great way to show your friends that you have been thinking about them, but you are also doing your bit for the planet by reducing the amount of plastic that they have to recycle or throw in the bin. This is a great idea if you know that they like to use certain items or know that they go through a lot of a certain product throughout the year. You could stock them up with shower gel and other random stuff that you get in gift sets.
Food
Christmas is a time for filling your belly with food and drink. However, some people do not have the luxury of filling their boots or their fridges with food. If you would like to give them something useful, you could consider getting them savoury hampers. Not only will it be packed with tasty treats, but you could also be supporting local businesses that have had a hard time during the pandemic. This option is a win-win for everyone who is involved. Just make sure that you put food in that they will eat and that they don’t have any allergies. Also, make sure it is stuff that will be safe to leave under the tree, you don’t want their present to go in the bin because they have popped it under the tree with the rest of the gifts. And, if it isn’t safe, make sure that they know this and tell them that it is food that needs to be put in the fridge.
Toys
If you have grown-up friends, they will still have their eyes on big boy toys that they can play with. DrDrone.ca has a wide range of toys that would be a great idea for the biggest of boys. When it comes to picking out some fun toys, it helps to choose items that they have an interest in. However, if you can pinpoint some toys that they would have loved when they were a kid but didn’t get, you will give them a real surprise. Age is just a number and everyone wants to have fun. If you are stuck for ideas, it helps to have a look at their interests and see if there are any toys that fit with them. For example, if they like Ghostbusters, there are Lego and Playmobil sets that their inner child will love.
Clothes
We will admit, clothes can be a tricky one as you might find yourself buying clothes that you would like to see them wearing. However, if you have heard them talking about a clothes brand or they have pointed out a few items that they would like, you could always surprise them with them. The hardest thing about clothes shopping is finding out what size to buy them. The last thing that you want to do is guess and be completely wrong. If in doubt, you could sneak a peek into their wardrobe and see what sizes they are wearing. Giving someone clothes is a tough one and what you buy depends on the relationship. For example, you shouldn’t buy anyone that you don’t know well any underwear. Keep it to outerwear to be on the safe side.
Gift cards
For some reason, people think that buying gift cards is a rubbish gift but we think that it can be one of the best Christmas gifts. Let’s put it this way, if you buy a gift card for their favourite places, they can pick out exactly what they want. You can even get gift cards that cover multiple places, and the amount of money you can load onto a gift card is a lot. The question is, where is the place that they shop the most and how much are you willing to spend on them? You don’t even have to limit yourself to one gift card, you could pick up a selection for them to enjoy and spend. You could even give them their gift card inside a pretty Christmas card to make it that little bit more special.
