Hi there!

It's December and we all know what that means...
IT'S HOLIDAY SEASON!!🎄🎅🎇


It's the most wonderful time of the year when we should spend time with family and closest friends, but let's be honest most of us are stressing out with school, work and mostly what to buy everyone for Christmas.

I can't really help much with the first two, but I can help you with some gift ideas. I hope you'll get some inspiration from this post.


I'll categorize ideas like what to buy to your mum, dad, friends, grandparents, ...


I'll start with parents.

For your mum, I think you can't go wrong with perfume, any makeup products like mascara or eyeshadow, I know my mum is always happy with any of these. I also think some face or hand creams or body lotions/butter are really nice gifts, just make sure they like the scent or that they are not allergic to any ingredients. Another great gift would be a cute winter scarf and a matching hat or/and gloves. I know my mum likes to cook so getting her a cooking book would be great or any little gadgets and utensils she could use would be great as well.

Every year I get my dad a perfume or some sort of aftershave or shaving cream because I know he'll get a lot of use out of it. I think any kind of electronic gadget would be cool, like headphones or portable speaker, smartwatch or just a normal wristwatch would be amazing as well. Also if your dad is a handyman a toolbox or a toolset would be great as well. If your dad spends a lot of time cooking you could get them the same thing that I mentioned for mothers. Clothing wise maybe a hat or gloves even a scarf would be great. 

For your friends, you could get a mug or even a travel mug and add some tea or coffee, depending on what they like you could add some hot chocolate bags and some marshmallows. I know I'm always excited if I get fuzzy socks so I think they would like them as well. Pretty much every year I buy them candles because I know they love them as much as I do, I also get them some nail polish and maybe some makeup bits for the ones that actually use makeup. Another really cool thing to give to a friend is any kind of book if they like to read and you know their favourite genre. Instead of buying chocolate you could bake some cookies yourself I'm sure they would love them (Psstt... I'm gonna post a delicious recipe a bit later in the month😉).

I only have one grandparent left and that is my grandmother.
I don't get her much. Usually, I get her some coffee and some chocolates. Honestly, we don't really do much for Christmas. We do get each other gifts but we don't spend a lot of money on it. I mean the most important thing is just the fact that we can actually have dinner and spend the evening together.

Some other things I think would make a really nice gift are non-material things. With that I mean experiences. For example, it would be nice if you can give someone a chance to go do something they always wanted to do, like skydiving, dinner at a fancy restaurant, a trip to a place they always wanted to visit, tickets to a concert of their favourite band or a show,...
I think gifts like that can be even more special than any of the expensive material things.


I hope this post helped you at list a little bit and it gave you some inspiration for this years Christmas gifts.
