There’s no doubt in the fact that this year has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the reality of the global pandemic to the gloom of spending endless hours cooped up indoors, the year has been tough on all. With the holidays just around the corner, it gives everybody the perfect reason to spread some much-needed cheer, and what’s better than opening those gifts surrounded by your loved ones. So, don’t fret about the idea of the perfect holiday gift because we’ve got together a list of top things you can get your loved ones.
For Men
While most men would put up a show and say gifts don’t mean anything, we all know deep inside they’re beaming with joy at the prospect of receiving a gift-wrapped box. Here are some top choices that could bring a smile to the man in your life’s face this holiday season.
Grooming Kit: Working from home with nowhere to go, men have put self-grooming on the back burner and the results have been outrageous (at least for some). A grooming kit could be that perfect gift to tell them in a subtle way that looking good should never be neglected. Add a personal touch with his name embroidered on the leather pouch and a handwritten note telling him about his good looks to complete the surprise.
Personalized Grill Equipment: Grills and men are like inseparable lovers; add to that some custom-made equipment and it’ll be a happy ending for sure. Choose from aprons with his name on it, or handmade knives, to made-to-order grill covers with his initials or the logo of his favourite football team.
Barware: A man that takes his tipple seriously will also appreciate good quality barware. Choose from a lovely crystal decanter or a set of handmade glasses, or even a cocktail shaker with his name on it.
For Women
Women adore gifts and the holidays happen to be just another reason to pamper the ladies in your life. With the year turning out to be such a damp squib, getting the right gift for the lady of the house becomes all the more important. We’ve put together the top three choices that women are sure to love.
Bespoke Fragrance: Smelling good is second nature for most women and with so much care going into the selection of that just right fragrance, your lady would definitely appreciate the effort you make in getting her a custom-made perfume. Just keep in mind the base notes that she prefers, and the fragrance will be a hit. Top off the excitement with her name on the bottle.
Gardening Starter Kit: If the missus goes on about starting her own garden patch, then the time is right for you to nudge her in the right direction. A gardening starter kit with seeds of her favourite veggies and flowers along with a guidebook to help her along the way is just the ticket. Go the extra mile by preparing the soil for her beforehand, complete with a protective tarp for the delicate plants.
Coffee Machine: The all-important morning cuppa will become all the more special when you give your lady a smart new coffee machine that produces a perfect cup time after time. Make the gift extra special with an assortment of different coffee beans for her to enjoy.
For the Elderly
The seniors appreciate nothing better than a relaxing corner in the house to both enjoy family time as well as have their own space for some peace and quiet. These gifts hit all the right notes to make their holiday a special one indeed.
Massage Cushion: Those aching joints and sore back need some attention from time to time. Give the seniors in your family a soothing massage cushion to help them relax in style. Make the gift even more special by getting their name embroidered on a custom made pillow cover
Armchair: A good book can be made more enjoyable with the help of a comfortable armchair. Pick one up with handpicked upholstery to give your parents or grandparents a gift they will tell the grandkids about.
Exotic Tea: There’s always time to have a cup of tea, so why not gift them a hamper of exotic tea to savour all year ‘round. Choose from fragrant varieties from Japan, India, or China and give your parents a great topic for that tea-time conversation.
For Kids
Perhaps the most difficult task you will get around is picking gifts for the kids. It can be tricky, but with a little forethought and some research into the latest trends, happy days for the kids are coming up.
Drone: Have a little one that cannot get enough of the outdoors? Give them a drone this Christmas and watch their faces glow with excitement. Choose from the smaller options if you’re a city dweller and do not want neighbors complaining. It will also be a great gadget for beach days and family picnics.
Lego: A classic standard but something that kids of all ages enjoy. Watch them create weird and wonderful structures using the brightly coloured pieces and give their imagination some well-deserved exercise.
Sneakers: After clothes maybe the most important thing that teenagers appreciate is a good pair of sneakers. Pick from the top trending styles and in their favourite colours and you’re sure to give them great holiday memories.
While family is the heart of all the holidays, gift giving certainly adds both excitement as well as the opportunity to show you care in a fun, personal way. With the kind of year we’ve had so far the right gift will definitely bring some cheer to your holiday celebrations. After everyone has opened their presents you can lay out the table covers and have that family dinner with full gusto.
