Stressless Christmas: The Ultimate Gifting Guide

The Christmas season is fast approaching! That means Christmas parties, quality time, longer days, and great food are on the agenda. However, too many of us are familiar with pre-holiday stress, especially when buying Christmas presents.

Buying Christmas presents shouldn’t be stressful! Follow our simple holiday gifting guide to find gorgeous presents for your loved ones or colleagues.

Christmas Gift Hamper

A gift hamper is a delightful choice for family, friends, or colleagues. There is something so special about receiving a gift you wouldn’t typically treat yourself to.  The days of boring gift boxes are over – now, you can create your own gift hamper with various food and beverage products, beauty, and homewares. Customise your gift hamper to fit the person’s preferences. Otherwise, choosing a premade gift box is a great option for those last-minute

presents. And with such a fabulous selection of premade boxes, you would be hard-pressed not to find the perfect one. Perhaps a box with Moët & Chandon and camembert for Mum and gourmet beers and a great read for Dad?

A Unique Living Tree

Christmas also marks the end of the year and new beginnings. Bring in the new year with a unique living tree to mark opportunity and growth. A living tree is a special gift that continues to flourish and grow in years to come. This gift idea is timeless and special and a perfect present for an avid garner or a nature lover.

Homewares

Has a family member or colleague recently moved house or is redecorating? A gorgeous present to freshen up the home is always a good idea. The gift can be widely varied depending on your budget. A scented candle or some gorgeous linen sheets are always appreciated. If you know the person’s taste, a throw or a classic vase can make beautiful presents.

The Practical Present

A classic of most Christmas gifting guides, the practical present is popular, and for good reason. Think lawnmowers, a classy dinner plate set, and a barbeque (or a grilling set if this is more in the price range). Or perhaps your child is heading to university and could benefit from a basic cookbook. If you know your person well, maybe you have an idea of a practical present they might need.

Beauty

There are so many fantastic choices for beauty gifts now. Choose a premade box or invest in a quality product you know the person will love. Another great choice is combining fresh flowers with a hand cream for a luxurious gift.

Experiences

An experience gift creates memories that the person will cherish. Maybe it’s something you and your loved one can do together, like a concert or a reservation for dinner at a restaurant they have been longing to go to. Or perhaps it’s just something special for them, like a massage voucher or Pilates package. The options are endless.

Children’s Presents

Shopping for children shouldn’t be stressful. There are gift boxes available for babies, too, which include a stuffed animal and a book to read and spend quality time together. Otherwise, interactive presents, like Lego or playdough, are always fun and can be enjoyed on the day.

Flowers

We couldn’t write a holiday gift guide without mentioning flowers. In New Zealand, we are spoilt for choice regarding flowers in the holiday season. Celebrate the joy of a warm Christmas by gifting a fresh bouquet. There is no need to go into busy stores during Christmas weather—avoid the traffic and order your flowers online.
