Hi all!

Today I am going to be sharing some examples of gifts I like to give others for Christmas. Hopefully this provides you with some unique ideas. Let’s get into it!

1.) SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES 

Subscription boxes are a fun gift to give. There are boxes for book-lovers, foodies, beauty gurus, fashionistas and so much more. You also get to decide if they get a yearly subscription, a monthly subscription or just a once-off box. The best part is, once it’s ordered, the company does the rest for you. When it arrives, the receiver gets to open it, finding lots of random goodies suited to their interests. The only downside is, they can be quite expensive. Buying a single box is most affordable option. You can check out heaps of sub-box ideas here.

2.) PERSONALISED GIFTS

Who doesn’t love a personalised gift? They are so special and will most likely be something you hold onto for a lifetime. The best place to get these kinds of presents is on Etsy. If you didn’t know, Etsy is an online store, filled with thousands of creators that make homemade gifts. It’s a great way to support talented individuals, as well as purchase something truly unique! 

3.) EXPERIENCES! 

A really cool gift idea is to give somebody an experience. I love Red Balloon for this. On our first Christmas together, I bought my husband a voucher to go swimming with sea dragons at the beach. It included a safety/equipment lesson beforehand and a guided tour. He had such a good time and got to try something new. There are so many different experiences to purchase. You can go on a food-tasting tour, drive a Formula 1 car, take a photography course, shark dive and so much more. It’s also a great gift for a minimalist, who doesn’t want to add clutter to their home.

4.) POP CULTURE MEETS HOME DECOR 

I love a gifted related to pop culture. For example, I could buy a random coffee mug, but seeing as I’m a huge Disnerd, I would prefer one with the trademark castle on it. Red Bubble is the best place to put literally any design you want, on everyday items. You can get t-shirts, blankets, stickers, wall art, bags, stationery, mugs and more. What’s really cool is it originated in Melbourne, Australia, where I’m from. I have bought three different gifts in the last month from Red Bubble. It’s such a great store to shop at during Christmas. Not sponsored, just love them! 

5.) CHARITABLE GIFTS

Charitable gifts are a win/win for both parties. You get to donate to a worthy cause and give a gift that is very meaningful. For example, you can adopt an animal in someone’s name, you can sponsor a child, you can ensure that clean water is sent to a village in need etc. Once again, it’s a really good idea for minimalists and those that want to make a difference. I am going to talk more about this topic in an upcoming post. Stay tuned.

6.) HAMPERS

Similar to subscription boxes, you can buy pre-made hampers, full of food or beauty products, that are specially decorated. You can even make your own! I love buying different goodies and arranging them for somebody I care about. It gives you a chance to get creative, showing how well you know someone. However, if you’re pressed for time, there are many pre-made hampers out there. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and it gave you some good ideas! I like to buy things that are a little bit different. What gifts do you like giving? Thanks for reading! 

Peace & Love xoxo
