With Christmas only three weeks away, that leaves 23 days to shop. If you’re like me, you probably haven’t even started. The easiest thing to do would be to get everyone a gift card, so they can buy whatever it is that their heart desires. But for me, I actually like to put thought into my gifts, something that I know the receiver would appreciate. The only gift cards that I like to receive are gift cards to my favorite store or a gas card, I love gas cards (they come in handy).
Finding the perfect gift for someone can be a bit challenging, especially when that person seems to have everything or you just have no clue what to get them. Below I’ve listed a few gift ideas that I’m sure will impress the ones you love.
- Customized Gifts
For the person who has everything, why not give them a more personalized gift, something custom made. York Photo offers a variety of personalized items that you can create. I’ve ordered a few photo books from them over the years as gifts and my family absolutely loves them. This is a great gift for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, new moms, dads, etc. This is one gift that anyone would love. Visit York Photo to get started.
2. Personalized Jewelry
A nameplate necklace is one of the items on my Christmas List. Any jewelry lover would appreciate a personalized necklace with their name on it. Zales offers budget-friendly personalized jewelry to choose from. Visit Zales to see the different styles they offer.
3. Monthly Beauty Subscription Box
For the person who’s obsessed with makeup, why not get them a subscription to a beauty box full of beauty products. There are a few different boxes to choose from that will suit anyone’s beauty needs. Here are a few different beauty boxes that you can choose from or get you started in your search for the perfect beauty box. Ipsy, Essence, BirchBox, GlossyBox, Julep Maven, Wantable.
4. Electric Wine Opener For the Wine Lover.
We all have that one girlfriend who cracks open a bottle of wine on a weekly basis. Why not make it easier on her and gift her an *Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener. To go along with her Electric Wine Opener, why not give her a Wine subscription-like Wine of The Month Club. There’s also a lot of other Wine Clubs to choose from as well.
5. Fitbit for the Fitness Fanatic
A Fitbit is a perfect gift for anyone looking to track their daily activity, exercise, food, weight, and sleep. You’ll also receive emails of your weekly progress. I own a Fitbit that I wear every day, you’ll be surprised at how active you really are. You can also download the Fitbit app straight to your smartphone, or one of many other 3rd party compatible Apps. They come in different colors and styles so they can be easily accessorized with your everyday look. Find your fit at Fitbit.
6. Grace Jones I’ll Never Write My Memoirs
Grace Jones’s new book is another item on my Christmas list. Grace Jones is a Fashion and Pop Icon and if you’re a fan, or know somebody who is a fan, this book will be an awesome gift. I’m sure it’s a good read, with lots of juicy details about her life and career. It’s budget-friendly for those of you who have a limit. Grab your copy of *Grace Jones I’ll Never Write My Memoirs today.
7. iPad Pro – For the Apple Lover Techie
This 12.9‑inch iPad is Apple’s largest tablet. The iPad Pro connects to Wi‑Fi and cellular networks which supports a wide range of LTE bands, so you can download your favorite movies, browse the web, and share documents from pretty much anywhere. Use it as a tablet or hook it up to the Smart Keyboard and turn it into a laptop and type away. For the creative types, the Apple Pencil allows more freedom if you’re into designing and sketching. This iPad Pro has a lot to offer, visit Apple to learn more about the iPad Pro.
8. Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera
For that special person who loves taking selfies, a Polaroid Instant Camera would be the perfect gift. This camera takes selfies to a whole other level by allowing the photo to be printed out on the spot. Who wouldn’t love a *Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera .
9. Gift Certificate to a Local Spa
With the end of 2015 quickly approaching, what better way to bring in a new year than with a nice calming massage or facial, leaving behind the worries of 2016. You can find gift certificates at any of your local spas.
10. Concert Tickets for the Music Lover
For those of you who don’t know, Janet Jackson is currently on her Unbreakable World Tour, and what better way to bring in the New Year then seeing her live in concert. How often is that you’ll have the opportunity to see the legendary singer in concert? This would be the perfect gift for any music lover. I mean who doesn’t love Janet. To get your tickets, visit Ticket Master.
‘Tis the season to be jolly…and Happy Gifting!
