With the holidays coming up, we know finding the right gift can be a struggle. Let’s be honest, gift cards are nice, but they are not meaningful. If you want to find the perfect, special gift for someone, whether you’ve got a budget or not, you’re in the right place!
People have always said that it’s the thought that counts, and with no budget we can make this work! For example, a framed photo is always a good option. It’s relatively easy to put together, not too time consuming, and a great way to memorialize a special moment. They are also very versatile and can be perfect for girlfriends/boyfriends, siblings, grandparents, and even teachers! A framed photo is a classic keepsake for a reason.
But if photos aren’t your vibe, another simple gift everyone is guaranteed to love is candy. Including someone’s favorite candy in their gift is just another way to personalize it that much more. Plus it’s very practical; it comes in all sizes, it’s something that can be enjoyed, and it isn’t too messy, or too expensive! Even beyond candy, gifting their favorite treat or drink is always an easy way to please anyone.
And of course, you can never go wrong with a homemade card. You can really do anything with cards; go as extra as you want or keep it simple. Consider a DIY card if you want to add something personal to your gift.
In case you can’t think of a gift to get someone, need to find something last minute, or maybe you’re just broke, any of these gifts are a great way to go. But for those of us with a larger gift-giving budget, however, here are some ideas that everyone will love!
First: a weighted blanket is truly one of the most genius inventions on the planet. It’s a blanket that is always there to mimic a warm hug! What’s better than that? Imagine you’re missing friends from camp, or a loved one who’s passed away; having a blanket like this can embody a hug that is no longer close to you, and that is the best gift anyone could give.
Second, a metal water bottle. Yes, this gift is basic, but it really is life changing. Metal water bottles are insanely overpriced, which is why they are such a great gift to receive. So many people are too stubborn to buy themselves a metal water bottle, but when it’s a hot summer day, and their water is the same temperature as the air around them, they are going to wish they had something to keep it cold. So do your stubborn friends and family members a favor and get them that metal water bottle.
Finally, arts and crafts are always a hit. Paint by number, crochet supplies, glitter tattoos, or any step-by-step craft will make a great gift. Crafts are a great way for people to unwind, relax, and take a step away from screens. When you give someone a gift like this you are doing them a favor by letting them take a break from their busy lives to enjoy the simplicity of art. This is a great gift for anyone overwhelmed, or those just looking for a new hobby!
These gifts are definitely on the more expensive side, but they are a great way to spoil your friends and family this holiday season! We hope this guide will help you make the holidays just that much merrier! Happy holidays everyone!
