With the holidays coming up fast, now is the time we stress about buying gifts for the people close to us. It feels impossible at times to know what to get different people. Well, here is a practical gift-giving guide for the different types of relationships in your life!
The Best Friend
These gifts can range as you are the person who knows your best friend’s interests the best. A more sentimental gift might suffice, such as a friendship bracelet or necklace that ties your friendship together. Permanent jewelry is all the rage right now, and could be a perfect gift to show your best friend you in it together! Some other good ideas can be makeup gift sets, a trendy seasonal item of clothing such as a puffer jacket or beanie, and/or maybe concert tickets to their favorite artist.
The Mom
It can be hard to find gifts for our moms, as typically they aren’t really asking for much, but they are so important in our lives that we have to get them something amazing! A new purse can be an expensive purchase, but meaningful for a mom. A more sentimental and not as expensive purchase could be a framed photo of the two of you, or a scrapbook of memories. A spa basket of different goodies could also be super comforting and meaningful to ease their stress!
The Significant Other
Your boyfriend or girlfriend can be one of the hardest to shop for as well as the most stressful. A meaningful gift that correlate with their interests can be one of the best picks in these cases. Sporting Game tickets, their favorite athlete or band’s merch, their favorite shoes, etc can all be great picks. For a more sentimental gift, a scrapbook of your past year together and memories can quite nice and fun to look through when giving it to them.
The Sibling
Whether a sister or brother, siblings can be picky at times with what they want for Christmas, so getting them a few small things can be a good bet. For the sister, things such as makeup, body scrubs, face masks, etc can be a great choice to put together a small gift bag. For the brother, gym equipment, a video game they may want, a gift card to their favorite store, etc can be good options. You can also always get them their favorite candy or food as well to add to the gift.
The Dad
Arguably, dads can be the hardest to shop for gifts, but we want to include them in our holiday joy of course! Kitchen or cooking supplies, sports team merchandise, man cave decor, etc can be some options for dads. More simple, practical gifts are the best bet, but a picture frame can also be sentimental for your dad to display on his desk.
The Secret Santa Gift
Secret Santa gifts with a low budget call for easy stocking stuffer-like gifts. Candy, gum, travel-size makeup items and/or perfumes, gift cards, and maybe a funny gag gift can be great options on a budget for Secret Santa.
