In the Christian religion, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. However, the holiday has since gained much popularity, marking it as one of the most popular cultural holidays in the world. Even for those who do not practice the Christian faith, Christmas, as a secular holiday, still holds many traditions for families across the world. But picking a gift can be difficult at the best of times. Many of us struggle to come up with something original, and whether you’re buying for your best friend, partner, or family, it’s so easy to fall back on classic presents like pajamas or perfume.
But this year, you could argue, is even harder. We haven't been able to see our friends and family so much, so those opportunities to pick up on little hints of the kinds of things they’re lusting after have been scarce. There have also been fewer opportunities to share in experiences like days out or holidays that could lend themselves as present ideas, such as a token from a trip.
So, as this is a year when many of us want to create a more special Christmas than ever, we’ve been thinking about unique, thoughtful, and sentimental gifts that really mean something.
After the year that has been, we’re all looking for ways to cut down on stress – buying the perfect gifts for family members, friends, and colleagues don’t have to add to the list of inconveniences 2020 has thrown at us.
There are so many ways to craft personalized and special gifts that are sure to wow without spending huge amounts of time.
Here are a few to consider:
Make it Sweet
Food is the universal language of love. If you’re looking to avoid the chaos in shopping centers, opt for spending a Saturday morning in the kitchen cooking up a storm.
Making easy, Christmas-favorite desserts like Rocky Road and shortbread, or jars of berry preserve in bulk is an easy way to inject a little homemade love into a gift that is sure to please everyone.
Subscriptions
We’re all subscribed to so many services these days; we hardly realize when the monthly fee is deducted from our accounts. In reality, those fees add up, so why not take a bit of the financial load off while also giving a year's worth of entertainment to your next gift-receiver?
DIY Craft Gifts
DIY doesn’t have to be draining or time-consuming. There are so many incredible, thoughtful ways to incorporate a bit of crafty goodness into a Christmas gift that won’t take too long.
Try your hand at making your very own stockings or wreaths and fill them up with festive surprises. Anything from sweets to face masks, card games, and even Instant Scratch-Its will work for this. They’re super crowd-pleasing, so they’ll work for any receiver, and the inside will make for that special surprise element too.
