With November’s passing and December’s arrival, frantic holiday shopping begins. How can one find presents for so many important people in their lives that they will not only enjoy but also cherish? Well, here are some answers to make the holiday season stress-free!
With all the work mothers do, they must receive the most perfect gifts. When shopping for the one who gave you life it is important to note what category she falls into. Is she a crafty mom? Fashionista mom? Outdoorsy mom? Fitness mom? Wine mom? Or perhaps an influencer mom?
For crafty moms, craft kits will be your best friend. There are a variety of kits such as Embroidery, candle making, and crochet kits that are affordable, easy to find, and create a fun learning experience that you and your mother can do together.
On the subject of presents for moms, senior Gabriela Deyhimy expressed, “I think candles are a great gift and you can even make one from scratch, with a custom scent, personalized specifically for your mom.”
For the fashionista moms, a pair of statement earrings are the perfect gift! For a more unique earring, a website like Etsy is a great place to look. Feeling ambitious? Make the earrings yourself with a trip to Michaels and the support of YouTube tutorials. Some other great fashionable accessories to look for include scarves or some cool shades.
One gift guaranteed to amaze is a charcuterie board for all wine moms to put their elegant cheeses and crackers.
For the moms aspiring to be influencers, an attachable phone ring light will help them in their journey. Lastly, for the fitness and outdoorsy moms, you can buy them whatever water bottle is currently trending, like a Stanley so that they can stay hydrated during their fun adventures.
Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for, but luckily, there are a variety of options. Similarly to the gifts for moms, the gifts for dads depend on their niche. For the musical dads– guitar straps, picks, and possibly a few records or a record player are suitable if he doesn’t have one already. If you are looking for a gift that is more exercise-related, the classic dad shoes –New Balance sneakers– are a splendid option.
Last but not least– what gifts to give to Generation Alpha? Well, the world of gifting to little kids has completely changed due to new technology. To move with the times, here are some tech-savvy gifts to buy for children.
Robux allows users of the incredibly popular game among children, Roblox, to access different features and acts as currency on the app. Robux can be purchased on Amazon or any gaming store. Children today are well known for constantly having an iPad in hand, making an iPad case the perfect gift. Not only can the cases come in a multitude of different patterns and designs to match the child’s interest, but they are also easy to find and purchase.
Senior Ally Golden spoke on the struggles of finding the perfect gift, “trying to get the perfect gift for someone you love is hard, but when you find the perfect gift, there’s no better feeling.” Gift shopping can be a stressful time during the holidays, but it does not have to be. As long as you consider who you are shopping for and their interests, making the gift personalized and thoughtful will make all your gifts a success.
