The holidays are the most wonderful time of the year. But between planning holiday parties, navigating travel plans, and trying to choose the perfect gift for your loved ones, they can also be one of the most hectic times of the year. Forget the stress this year with these five simple gift ideas that your family will love.
If there’s one gift that everyone can agree on, it’s the gift of good food. This holiday season, consider gifting your loved ones a holiday food gift basket that will make their holiday just a little bit sweeter. Some gourmet gift baskets pair treats like creamy chocolates and cakes with savory cheese spreads and crackers, making a perfect addition to any holiday hangout. Gifts like thishave the added bonus of saving time spent cooking holiday meals, freeing up time to spend with loved ones.
Gift cards or memberships to food subscription services also make for a great gift that can be enjoyed throughout the year. For the adventurous foodie in your life, consider choosing an international subscription service that ships out a snack package from a different country each month.
It can be challenging to find a gift as unique as the bonds you share with your loved ones. Giving a customized gift that includes your loved one’s name or initials shows them how much you care by giving them something that celebrates them, along with their own unique interests. If you’re looking to give a one-of-a-kind gift, you should consider giving customized gifts like engraved cutting boards or mugs this holiday season.
Thinking back to holidays past, although you may not remember every gift you got, you likely do remember time spent laughing with loved ones. This is why family game night sets make a fun, unique holiday gift that can be enjoyed year-round. You can get holiday toys and model kits that your whole family can work on together, like model train kits or figurine bundles.
Amidst the chaos that comes with the holiday season, there’s nothing quite like curling up and getting comfy with your loved ones. If you want a festive gift that doesn’t sacrifice any of the coziness, consider getting a matching holiday pajama set for your family. Getting the whole family together in a stylish set of matching PJs makes for a perfect holiday photo opportunity, and a valuable chance to preserve special family memories.
There are a number of ancestry-tracing companies selling giftable kits that make it easy to discover your ethnic roots. You simply provide a saliva sample, ship your package to a lab, and wait for your results. This is a unique gift for those interested in genealogy and learning more about their family history. Gifting a DNA kit is a great way to bring the family closer as you discover more about where your family came from and what makes it unique.
This holiday season, don’t waste time stressing about the right gifts for your family. With these one-of-a-kind gift ideas, you will allow your loved ones to make memories that will last a lifetime and the opportunity to celebrate priceless time spent together.
