Christmas gift ideas for him and her
Christmas is close by and everyone is off to search for the right presents. Every year I am super late and am running from one store to the next without any plan what to gift my family and friends. I came up with an idea that would suit both him and her and that’s anything personalized! For example, there are companies online like my face socks who personalise all kinds of things from blankets to shirts. I am really not good at this and my creativity for presents that are non-sentimental is just super limited.
So every year someone gets a scarf, a bottle of red wine, or a bracelet. Not that these ideas are bad, but I would love to give this year some more distinct presents for each one of them. For instance, you can gift a beard grooming set to someone who likes growing a long beard. Similarly, you can gift beauty shaving equipment (like a Best Eco Razor) to someone who likes to keep their legs clean and beautiful. Some people also like to go down the more risqué route and opt for various other types of personalized gives like underwear for men or women. There are a few companies that are able to “personalisierte unterwäsche” (personalize underwear) for the enjoyment of you and your partner! The best thing is they can be either funny or sentimental and easy to get, too. It’s definitely something to think about when you struggle to think of gift ideas.
To make your life a little easier as well as mine, I have been thinking a little ahead of Christmas about some great present ideas. The truth is that I do not like shopping for any festive season at the end moment, which is I prefer planning ahead. Last-moment gifts are never up to the mark– many people do not get the time to check the quality of the product bought. Furthermore, last-minute shopping might not be a good option if the gift that one is about to buy would be sent to a loved one far away–the parcel might not reach the recipient on time unless the delivery partner is a firm like Fast Courier (which is known to offer one-day courier sydney).
Hence, I maintain a sweet distance from purchasing presents at the last moment– it makes me anxious! That is why, today I have come up with a list of presents to buy ahead of time. The list is comprehensive and you can find it here below, since there are great gifts for this, also a Gift with Purchase supplier works with many shopping malls to entice shoppers into their malls for the times when people are looking for gifts. If you have any more ideas, then please let me know in the comments below! I hope you’ll like them!

I really like making people hampers with lots of little bits in that are personalised to their tastes.
I’m putting together a memory frame for hubby this year, he got to meet his hero from his faveourite band so im putting photos and his signed bits and pieces with a flyer from the gig in a nice deep frame so they will be kept nice forever!
I was surprised to see Poloroid camera until I remembered the new ones are digital. I remember when they discontinued the old ones and I was left with no film. I’d be interested in the new camera.

I love to gift humourous personalised gifts especially creating my own Christmas cards which adds a personal touch
I think a really nice idea for a friend or relative is to have a photocopy printed using pictures from the year from their social media account. Not many people actually print their photos these days so it makes for a lovely keepsake and can become and annual present.
I would love to have photo’s of everybody on Christmas day, as we are all going to be together
Really interesting I like getting locally produced presents and we are really fortunate to have what they call a forest showcase twice a year where local produce and crafts can be bought also many of the stall holders will adapt a product so its just what you want for a particular person
Selfie light for mobile for my sister in law, I think thats the only gift this year that I’m sure will go down well.
I like something unique so I’d find out what they really want and get it xx
I like to make personalised calendars with photographs from the year. A great little keep sake.
I love to make handmade memory books for people! Everyone seems to love them!
Knitting my friend’s dogs matching Christmas jumpers and making felt booties would go down well!
I actually love giving vouchers as I hate to give people stuff they don’t need. There is so much waste in the world
I love doing homemade presents as a token & meaningful gift. Personalised pressies all the way!!
I do little hampers for friends and family with exactly the kinds of things I know they’ll love. I start in September and keep adding to them. People always comment how thoughtful they are.
ike to buy people locally crafted items from local craft sales
I like to arrange something like a facial or massage. Everyone seems to lead such busy lives that it gives them an hour without being interrupted by the kids or the phone. An hour of pure bliss xxx
I like to put together hamper of body goodies, hand cream, shower gel, shampoo scrubs etc and a couple of alcohol miniatures just for the ultra relaxation.
I love the idea of naming a star after someone, especially if they are in heaven. It’s a beautiful way of remembering them. Thanks for the chance & MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I love making up hampers of things I know the person would love. My best friend is getting a baking hamper. Another is getting a hamper for a DVD night in.
I am making my mother in law a hamper filled with her favorite things. Edinburgh Gin, Too face Chocolate Bar pallet, Sloe gin mince pies and lush products are what I have put in so far.
I like to get presents through the year to give to my realtives for me at Christmas, by the time Xmas comes I’ve forgotten what I’ve given them but I get what I want
I love jewellery and alcohol from grown ups and homemade gifts from my kids and I like to give gifts that create memories.
Making beautiful memories by making photo album of everyone on Christmas Day!
Since my children have all grown up now with their own homes, every year I buy them each a special bauble for the tree, personalised or crystal so they can build up their own special collection that can then be passed on to my grandchildren
I think buying someone a magazine subscription is always welcome, or buying someone sponsorship of an animal
