In the spirit of this season, we bring you lots of ideas and inspiration to make this festive celebration one for the books with our yearly guide book.
Traveling home this Christmas? We have got you covered. Here are seven items carefully chosen by our editors that would be perfect for gifting your family.
1. Perfumes:
Perfumes are a lovely asset to the wardrobe. From body sprays to eau de parfums and lastly colognes. Each category has it’s function and purpose. This gift idea is perfect for people of all ages and a thoughtful gesture for the books.
2. Snacks and sugary food:
Almost every one has a sweet tooth from grandparents down to children. If you’re travelling home to your extended family, a place mostly filled with children then snacks are a must. Do pack some chocolates, Pringles or biscuits ready in hand.
3. Books:
In every family, there must be a clique of readers and what’s a good act of gesture for readers than books— mostly fiction. There are different genres in fiction and also different authors. Try getting your recipient a book from their favourite author and watch their face light up.
4. Home Decor:
Blankets, curtains and scented candles are a must gift if you’re looking towards the household direction. What’s a better thing than to gift red and white bedsheets this season to fall in line with the celebration. You sure would receive a lot of thanks along with smiles.
5. Clothes, shoes, socks:
New outfits in the wardrobe can never go out of style. Get their shoe sizes and go shopping for clothes, socks and other wears alongside it. Food may pass but outfits will stay for a long time. You would be buying your way into their hearts.
6. Tech Gadgets:
There’s always room to gift smart watches, phones, laptops or the latest tech accessories. These items have become indispensable companions in our daily lives, offering functionality, entertainment, and connectivity. As long as you have the budget, don’t forget to gift.
7. Money:
These can’t be over emphasized enough. Cash gifts are one of the best gestures, no matter how much one might receive gifts, cash beats everything out. With cash, your niece could pay for an online course or subscribe to a magazine. Your nephew could buy new airpods or save up some money to gift himself a new apple watch and the list goes on.
