Update Notice: We updated this article to provide you with the latest and most helpful tips!
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.
Holiday Gift Idea #1: Home Decors
If you plan to buy items for a whole household, here are some easy and lovely gift ideas for a beautiful home.
Home Decors and Art Prints
Home decors and art prints effortlessly make a home more alive and personal. Give your loved ones a piece of your heart with an art print gift that you hand-picked. Whether you prefer minimalism or intricate retro, a lovely piece of art will undoubtedly make someone smile.
Decorative Soaps
Even the simplest gifts can be special when spiced up with a variety of designs. There are fragrant soaps with lovely decorations that are available on the market. From flower designs and shells to a variety of colours, you will get lots of choices that will fit the personality of the family you want to send gifts to.
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.
Mini Projector
Since the pandemic, families have started to look for bonding alternatives that they could do indoors. What's more exciting than watching your favourite movies with your loved ones? A mini projector connected to small devices can ignite family bonding. This can also be used almost anywhere.
Holiday Gift Idea #2: Bedroom and Relaxation
Your loved ones will surely enjoy these thoughtful holiday gifts that will help them relax and enjoy a good night's sleep. Bedding sets and relaxation kits are already packed to be presentable, especially during gift-giving seasons. You might also invest in your own bedroom sanctuary. Here are some cosy pillow and bedding gifts that you can send to your loved ones.
Bath Towel Set
If you love to send a thoughtful gift but you're short on budget, this bath towel set is the perfect holiday gift solution. You can wrap this set in a special holiday box.
Essential Oils
Speaking of a holiday box, one of the most popular gifts for families during Christmas are essential oils. Give your gift buddy a simple yet relaxing present this Christmas. This will also serve as a simple way of telling them that they did well this year and that they are very welcome to take a well-deserved rest.
Pillows and Bolsters
When running out of gift ideas, go back to the basic and often overlooked essentials. One of these must-haves are pillows and bolsters. With latex, cotton, and memory foam, you will not run out of comfortable options. You might want to treat yourself to a new pillow too!
Scented Candles
We all love some romantic ambiance in our homes. The relaxing scented candles come in various aromas and designs that can fit anyone's taste. If you are looking for the perfect gift for your colleagues, they will definitely love delightfully scented candles.
Holiday Gift Idea #3: Kitchen and Dining Essentials
Here's the section for certified foodies, home chefs, and those who love baking. Check out these small kitchen gadgets, utensils, and dining items.
Customised Mugs
This holiday season, a simple yet special way to make your loved ones smile is to give customised gifts. You can DIY a personalised mug or work with a printing service.
Cookware
A handy cookware set is a perfect gift for kitchen lovers. The combination of small to medium pans and utensils will paint a smile on your loved one's face. You can choose from a variety of colours, sizes, and cookware combinations.
Dinnerware
Another thoughtful present to send your loved ones is a well-wrapped dinnerware set. From elegant selections to simple designs, you will undoubtedly find a set that fits the personality of the one you want to send a gift to.
Kitchen Gadgets
You don't need to be too extravagant when sending gifts to kitchen lovers. You can buy small and handy kitchen gadgets that make cooking a breeze. Milk frothers, hand mixers, and other small to medium kitchen utensils will be very appreciated. If you don't know what specific items to buy, you can go for bundles.
Holiday Gift Idea #4: Bags, Organisers, and Children Items
Personalised Bags
Tote bags with personalised designs are pretty popular these days, and for good reason. When people shop online and basically get the same things easily, many people are looking for unique items that they can use. Getting personalised items might take you a little more time to prepare, but they are worth it.
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.
