The holiday season is here and with only two weeks until Christmas, I thought I’d share some ideas for unique and fun gifts to give this year!

 

1. Custom Phone Case

I’ve been seeing these custom Casetify phone cases all over Instagram and YouTube recently and I think that they would make the perfect gift! They have so many fun options to choose from, including glitter cases and glow in the dark options that can all be customized with text of your choice. Their impact cases are also 6.6 ft. drop test approved, which is awesome for someone who drops their phone constantly. A custom case makes the perfect gift for a friend or sibling and it is a gift that they can use every day!

 

2. 3 in 1 Charging Hub

This charging hub is a great gift idea for any tech lover in your life! The stand works perfectly for Apple devices like the Apple watch, Airpods, and iPhones. At less than $30, this product is a steal, especially for a tech gift.

 

3. Personalized Planner

If you have a stationary lover in your life (or someone in need of help when it comes to organization) a personalized planner could make the perfect gift! You can find planners all over online and in-store, so there’s sure to be one that will fit the personality of the person you are gifting it to.

 

4. Stationary or Art Supplies

Now who doesn’t love new pens? Items like markers, highlighters, gel pens, and colored pencils can make a great gift. Pair some writing utensils with a journal or coloring book and you’ve just made the cutest practical gift set.

 

5. Skincare

Skincare products can make the perfect self care gift. Grab some facemasks, lotion, and bubble bath and make your own kit for your loved one. Bonus if you know their favorite scents or products! This makes the perfect gift for your mom, sister, or friend.

 

6. Cozy Accessories

If you live in an area with cold weather, items like socks, hats, and scarves can make great gifts. These winter items come in a variety of styles and are sold almost everywhere. Find a cute set or a unique hat and wrap it up with some hot cocoa and a mug to make a cold weather survival kit. 

 

7. Milk Frother

If you have a latte lover in your life, they will love the gift of a milk frother to make their own drinks at home. Milk frothers can be found online and in stores, and they come at a variety of price points. This is a gift that keeps on giving (and maybe if you’re lucky, they’ll make you a latte too!)

 

8. Heated Pillow or Stuffed Animal

I’ve seen lots of microwave pillows and stuffed animals around and I think that these can make the perfect gift for a loved one who has trouble falling asleep or suffers from pain such as back aches or cramps. These microwave comfort items come in a variety of styles, so you’re sure to find one that makes the perfect gift!

 

9. Fun Games or Playing Cards

Games also make a great gift! They can be used over and over and enjoyed with friends and family. I found this set of playing cards featuring famous musicians on amazon and I think they’d make the perfect gift for a music lover!

 

10. Coasters

While this may seem boring, I feel like coasters can make a cute gift for friends and family! They are an item that they will get lots of use out of and you can find many cute styles online. Some sites even let you make custom coasters with your own photos. I also found this set of upcycled record coasters which are super unique and would also make a great gift for a lover of music and vintage things.
