Whether bought or made, gifts are one of the most common ways of letting someone know that they’re cared about during the holiday season.
Amidst all of the chaos of the holiday season, many struggle to find the right gift for some of the people in their life. Below are some suggestions that can work universally:
- Snacks or candy: Snacks tend to be an affordable option, and those who receive them tend to be appreciative. Putting together an assortment of a loved one’s favorite snacks is often a sure way to give a gift that the receiver will love.
- Gift cards or cash: When it’s hard to find a gift for someone, sometimes the best option is to let them pick something out for themselves. Gift cards for stores that a person frequents are typically a sure way to give a gift that they will use.
- School supplies and stationary: Around Christmastime, back to school supplies often start to run out, and students find themselves in need of more. Whether it be pencils, pens, Post-Its or something else, students are usually in need of something, and will be grateful to receive it.
- Trinkets and ornaments: Finding a small object that brings up the thought of a person can be one of the most personal gifts. Whether it is found or bought, small trinkets can easily let a person know that they are cared and thought about.
- Water bottles: Everyone gets thirsty, making a water bottle not only a good tool but a necessity. Whether it’s a fancier tumbler from brands like Stanley, Owala or Hydro Flask or a simpler bottle, water bottles make a great gift that anyone can appreciate.
- Technology: Airpods, speakers, smart watches and more all make good gifts in today’s technology-driven world. Though they tend to be on the more expensive side, technology makes a good, universally appreciated gift for loved ones.
- Homemade gifts: Homemade gifts can be viewed in many different lights. Some say that they are more personal and inherently show more love, some just appreciate the time taken and how personal homemade gifts can be. Homemade gifts can also fall into any price point and can highlight the talents of the gifter.
