It is that time of the year when your best friend is in the same town as you are, your cousins are home and a waft of coffee and fruit cake lingers in the air. With the city decked up for carnivals, fairs, and exciting concerts, you wouldn’t want to celebrate this holiday season without making your loved ones smile! With the New Year around the corner, you may have a lot of resolutions but it should always start with the habit of giving a good gift to your dear ones.
Here are some wonderful gifting ideas you won’t want to miss!
Quirky Socks
The next time you want to buy your brother a pair of socks, give him something that is different from his usual collection and he has a reason to flex to his date! Go for quirky prints and bright colours. Imagine a chic pair of black fuzzy socks with cute, green avocados printed all over. Or, you can even choose cool superhero prints like bright red and blue Spiderman socks, to add a character and personality to your brother’s collection. A good pair of socks is always a great present idea to surprise your loved one this winter.
Scented Candles
Be it for a relaxing bath making up for the year-long extra working hours to light up the cosy corners of your living spaces for the holiday mood or creating the perfect ambience for an intimate home date, scented candles never go out of the gifting trend. You can even make a beautiful gift box with the perfect aromatic candle, a handwritten note and an artsy set of matchboxes or a fancy lighter. Gifting an assorted set of scented candles is always a classic gifting idea as well. Here are some more interesting ideas on the perfect way of gifting scented candles!
Silver Jewellery
The best thing about silver jewellery is that they timeless, chic and elegant. Depending on your budget, there are always ample options when buying silver jewellery for your loved ones. Be it an elegant ring for your best friend or a minimalist, classy necklace for your mother, silver jewellery always makes one stand out in the crowd and can be worn with any outfit for any occasion! If the person you have on your mind does not have a knack for jewellery you can always opt for cool accessories in silver like bookmarks, brooches and watch charms.
The Best Brew
We always have that one person in our life who cannot survive a day without coffee. When it comes to gifting the coffee lover, the options are endless. If you want to add quality to their caffeine collection, you can gift the multiple coffee gift bundles available at Grounds & Hounds’ who invest 2% of their profit to fund rescue initiatives for our four-legged friends! You can also get personalised coffee accessories like sippers, french press coffee makers, coasters and mugs for gifting a caffeine addict in case you are indecisive about gifting the best brew.
Books
Everyone knows that one person who loves reading or even if they do not have time to read, they will always carry a book, no matter where they go. Gifting books is an empathetic gesture and it also keeps the tradition of reading from paper alive despite the digitality of our existence. So this holiday, get the 2023 Booker Prize winner Prophet Song by Paul Lynch, the all-time favourite classic like Catcher in the Rye , or critically appreciated diasporic literature like The Good Girls’ by Sonia Faleiro.
Lights
Lights always guide you home and if you crack the code of gifting the perfect light to your loved one, they will indeed find a reason to stay indoors for a relaxing time. Be it an elegant floor lamp or a table lamp or even a minimal goodnight lamp , the options are plenty. It’s also very much possible that you may have an influencer cousin and the best thing to gift would be a ring light with a sturdy tripod . Gifting rice lights is another smart decision this holiday season. Be it for home decor, adding to the grandeur of the Christmas tree, or even lighting up the dormitory room of a sibling, rice lights always bring joy!
Gaming Accessories
This holiday season your gamer friend would probably want to stay indoors and participate in online streaming and having a nice time on Discord with their gaming community. To make such an experience more enjoyable, you can gift them gaming accessories. If your buddy is also a fan of the TV show “Breaking Bad”, there is nothing more interesting than a Heisenberg mousepad. You can also choose a nice gaming mouse, or even sponsor buying the skin for guns in Valorant or just stick to unique lights like a controller-shaped neon sign! Here are some more gifting ideas for gamers.
