Choosing the right presents is a challenge at any time, but now, while in store browsing is restricted, and online shopping confuses us with too much choice, how can you find the perfect gift? As everyone has different lifestyles, it can often be difficult to figure out what everyone wants for a special occasion. Whether it’s a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or Christmas, here are just some gift ideas that could come in useful.
For the music lovers you know
If you have a friend or a family member who absolutely loves music, then there are always a few alternatives to choose over buying them a CD. Sometimes you’ll never know if they already have a CD in their collection, so why not get them a gift card or subscription instead? They can check out some of the best new music in the industry with a Spotify subscription or an Apple App Store & iTunes gift card. For the past few years now, vinyls and record players have also become increasingly popular to have over CDs. If you’re looking to splash some cash on an expensive treat for your loved one, then Beats earphones and headphones are a must-have item for music lovers.
For those you struggle to buy for
Depending on their lifestyle, it can be a struggle finding out what your loved ones want for a present. It might be a coworker you don’t know too well, or it might be a parent who seems to have everything already. Although it might seem like an easy gift, gift cards and vouchers can actually be perfect for some people. They can often take out all the guesswork from gift buying and the person you’re giving it to can select their own gift at their leisure. They’re ideal and can help save you money on buying a gift that they might not like. A voucher or gift card for a specific store, activity day, or spa treatment, will provide a valuable gift to them.
For your sporty friends and family
Activity-based presents are ideal for sporty members of family and friends. Whether they’re into kayaking, surfing, rock climbing, or mountain biking, there are loads of adventure days, packages, or gift vouchers that you can find online. If your friend, partner, or family member has a dedicated hobby or passion, then this could be the perfect opportunity for you to buy useful accessories and equipment for them. For skateboarders who simply have enough boards in their collection, some of the best gifts for skateboarders to buy include t-shirts, skateboard bags, as well as cool accessories for their board. Depending on the time of year, you could even purchase seasonal wear for them when they’re out on adventures, from new shades and water bottles for the summer to warm hats and gloves for the winter.
For those you want to treat and spoil
A touch of luxury is always a popular and thoughtful gift and you don’t have to always spend that much money on the gift. Simply creating a hamper full of their favourite things or items for a pamper day at home can be a thoughtful gift to give someone. Bath essentials, wine, chocolates, or a bouquet of flowers will be a pleasant surprise, and will make them feel pampered. Perfume and aftershave are also great gifts to give to someone if you know what they like. However, if you don’t it’s very easy to go wrong here! For a really special gift, perhaps for a birthday or anniversary, a birthstone guide can tell you all about which birthstones you could treat your significant other with. Amethyst, Sapphire, and Tanzanite are just some birthstones for February, September, and December, that would make a precious and thoughtful gift in jewellery.
