With Christmas coming up, many people wonder what to get their loved ones for the special holiday. The right gift really depends on the person and their interests.
One easy, yet thoughtful gift, would be a handmade card. Write about how much you appreciate them or your favorite memories with them – this can truly make someone’s holiday much more special.
If you have more time on your hands, consider going a little bit overboard with your handmade gift; whether it be making a box with pictures of your loved ones or paper flowers; there are so many possibilities with just a couple pieces of paper.
Another great gift idea is making your loved ones a sweet treat. This would be a great gift for a friend who loves sweets.
If you’re a baker, make your friends some chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes, and a small cake of their fav orite flavor. It may not be something they can cherish for a long time like a card, but it will surely be a delicious gift.
On the slightly more expensive side of gifts, getting a personalized gift can be a great route to take. If your loved one, or special one likes certain things like Hello Kitty, Gossip Girl, or Harry Potter, get them something related to that! These gifts can vary from a mug to a hoodie to a replicated item of the show, etc.
You could also get them something simpler. If you know your friend, family member, etc is obsessed with jewelry, get them that! Do they like collecting Sonny Angels, get them one, or two! Do they like Jellycats? Get them one you know they’ll love! It all comes down to who they are as a person, and if you know them well enough, you’ll know exactly what they’ll like.
At number 4, a burr basket. Burr baskets are specialized goodie bags with your person’s favorite things. These can also vary in pieces, as the things you add to them can be brought from any store you choose, from Dollar Tree to Target. Some common things to add to the burr basket are blankets, stuffed animals, candles, socks, gift cards, and candies; however you can personalize you may like it.
For Sephora people, get them a basket with their favorite products. If they’re into Hot Wheels, get them a basket full of toy cars.
Do they love sweets? How about a basket filled with all their favorite candies or snacks? If you believe a burr basket will suit your loved one, just make sure to organize, and make it look presentable!
Necessity items can also be a great gift. There are many things out there that are quite expensive, yet a necessity to most of us.
Perhaps the person you’re gifting to, has used up their favorite perfume or cologne or cracked their phone? Perhaps they love listening to music, but their Airpods or Beats stopped working.
Did they lose any Pandora charms, or their entire bracelet? They would surely love a new one! Do they like building? Get them a Lego set, one you surely know they will like.
Whatever you decide to give this holiday, whether it be a card, or a big Lego set, it all comes down to who it came from: you, and the thought you put into the gift. Afterall, it really is, “the thought that counts.”
