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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
