Ultimate Gift Guide 2023
Nov 01, 2023The holiday season is the perfect time to show your loved ones how much you care with thoughtful gifts. To cater to all budgets, we've created a diverse gift guide with three options for each recipient. Whether you're shopping for a family member, friend, or co-worker, you'll find something special that fits your price range.
When picking the perfect gift take the time to put some thought into the person you are buying the gift for. What are their interests? What hobbies do they have? Would they prefer an experience over an item? What could you give to them that could make their day-to-day better or remind them of you?
Are you able to create a cute basket tailored to things they would like or love that they could also mostly consume? Like:
- A cute cocktail kit with liquor, mix, glasses and a couple snack items like nuts or beef jerky.
- A movie night basket complete with popcorn, candies and pops with your top five movies of 2023 that are free for streaming.
- A spa day-at-home basket with a nail file, polish, face mask, hand lotion and cute scrunchy.
- The posibilities are ENDLESS!!!
And for parents with children I always use the rubric below to help reign in the Christmas spending chaos.
- Something they want
- Something they need
- A keepsake
- A fun experience/something consumable
- A board game
- Festive pyjamas or a sweat suit
