When Christmas is just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about what gifts you’re going to get for your loved ones. The key to giving gifts is to know the person you are giving to and what they would like to receive. For many, this might be difficult, especially if you have no idea where to start. You can give many things to your loved ones, from collectible cards to self-watering glass pots to film tickets and holiday packages, but knowing the right one to choose is the question.
I’ve created this simple guide to give you an idea of understanding people and pinpoint what they would generally like to have on any day. You should know their hobbies and interests and from there choose the best thing you can give them. These are ten simple gift ideas which you can use to get the perfect gift for your loved ones.
Completing a collection
Some people are collectors, and these people will be unimaginably happy if you can help them complete their collection. However, you must do some research before attempting to surprise collectors with collectibles. For the most part, rare collectors’ items are hard to find, at the same time, expensive. So, you must either be a collector yourself to pull this off, or you just really know the person you are gifting this Christmas.
You can also head to collectors.com and have a head start in finding the perfect gift for your collector loved one.
The gardening type
If your loved one is a person who loves gardening, then pots and plants are in order. You can give these people flowers, plants, potted plants or pots, vases and such, and they would appreciate it very much. There are many places online to find the perfect gift for your green thumbs loved one, and one of these sites is cupoflora.com.
They have a nice collection of self-watering glass pots which gardeners would love. Also, the designs are great and eye-catching, perfect for a nice Christmas present.
Kitchen utensils for a chef
People who love cooking always love new cooking utensils that they can use. Whether it is a new set of knives, a cooking set, new kitchen equipment like a stove, microwave, or some fancy yet useful cooking contraption you saw advertised online, a cook will love every one of these things.
You can also give them a good recipe book, especially those cookbooks with rustic dishes full of unique tastes. A good cookbook is a pleasure for any chef, especially alongside a complete assortment of ingredients to prepare.
Gifting a gamer
We all know someone close to us who loves games. The gaming industry is going strong, and with every year comes a good roster of games, which are fun and unforgettable. You can give your gamer loved one the latest Triple-A game if you gift a new console or a new upgrade to their gaming rig.
You’ll see them smiling to their ears once they’ve opened your gift and saw this inside. Steam is the fastest way to get games online, but there is a real connection to buy a physical copy of the game and give it to your loved one during special occasions such as Christmas.
Crafters and hobbyists
If your loved one has a penchant for tinkers, trinkets and crafting, then you’ll have a fun time scouring up a new do-it-yourself art kit for Christmas. You can gift many crafting things to your loved one, ranging from puzzles, diamond bead art kits, and the likes.
Some people I know love Lego sets or a satisfying amount of Popsicle sticks to make a small wooden castle or a ship. The sky is the limit for these kinds of people, and you will have a fun time making their holiday memorable.
The artistic types
If you have a person in the family who is a naturally gifted artist, then your Christmas gift for them is art. A set of coloured pencils, pastel, oil paints or a set of high-quality brushes and pencils would do the trick. I won’t be surprised if the next artwork they’ll work on is your portrait out of sheer gratitude.
You can find many art tools on Amazon.com, so it is best to start your shopping now and maybe find promos to allow you to buy more things for your loved ones. Also, like many artists today have shifted to digital, electronic devices for digital art is also a good gift. Drawing tables, workstations, art programs, and such are all part of the huge selection you can choose from for that perfect Christmas present for the people you love.
Jamming with a musician
Though this can be expensive, a good quality musical instrument might be the ultimate gift for a musician. You can also opt for accessories, speakers, add-ons to their musical equipment, sheet music, chord pieces and such. Tickets to concerts, musicals and anything in line with music are all great gifts for your loved one. If you’re a musician, a lovely composition is also a heart-warming gift for people who are special to you.
Tops, bottoms and dresses
For the stylish ones, a bag of trendy, matching and fashionable clothes is the perfect gift for Christmas. A simple matching outfit is sometimes the only thing you need to end the year on a good note. You can opt to start your shopping now, especially when sales are in the air because prices will soar when the holidays come knocking.
Jewels, Jewels, and more jewels
We are nearing the end of our list and here are now the more expensive things you can give to your loved ones. Jewellery is one of the most luxurious things you can gift wrap and place under a shimmering Christmas tree during the year-end holidays. Jewellery is a special thing as it will last mostly indefinitely and become an heirloom that will go on through the generations. You will pass on a tangible representation of your attempt to make your loved one’s Christmas day special. There are many sites online where you can find catalogues of jewellery
The great outdoors
The last thing on this list of ideas and probably the most fun thing you can gift to your loved one is spending quality time with them in the great outdoors. A concert, a short trip to a special spot, a short holiday, going to the movies, a road trip, all of these things and more is the biggest gift you can give to your loved one. Not only are you having fun, but you are gift-wrapping memories that your loved ones will continually have for the rest of their lives. Check our collections of Outdoor Decoration.
