Aside from the food and festivities, what we look forward to during the holiday season are the presents that everyone shares.
While some make it a point to create a long gift-giving list and personally look for items, others keep the magic gift cards and red packets ready for these occasions. The third scenario is last-minute shopping before the holiday gathering (I am personally guilty of going through each of these all at once!)
If you are short on time but want to give something functional that comes from the heart, here are some simple but thoughtful gift ideas that the family will love.

Lamp Set
Whatever the interior theme is, there will always be a variety of lamps that can fit in. Lamps come in many shapes, colours, and sizes. You can also choose from extravagant designs or simpler ones.
Whatever the preference, lamps are generally admired by homeowners. If you are able to spark joy and a relaxing mood, kids will also adore your gift. These practical home decorations will surely be the family's favourites.ย

Holidayย Gift Idea #4: Bags, Organisers, and Children Items
Personalised Bags
Tote bags with personalised designs are pretty popular these days, and for good reason.

Board Games
When sending gifts to the little ones, it's good to focus on pieces that will ignite bonding and stimulate their minds and senses. Since the past few years have been full of gadgets, now is the perfect time to give them a technology break and help them bond with their families.
Books
You don't want to forget about book lovers. From children's stories to informative books to novels, you have myriad choices. And we can tell you. We love antique pieces and book hand-me-downs.
Clothes
The holiday is sometimes a good reason for a wardrobe upgrade. Although this might be tricky because of the size and style differences, when you get the right pieces, gifting clothes is worth the effort.
