When it comes to holiday gifts, you have two choices: creating unique holiday gift ideas that suit the person you’re shopping for, or wandering the stores until you find something in your budget that you think they might like. Both are good options, but even better would be creating unique holiday gifts ideas that suit the person and are within your budget, and then visiting the stores that carry the gift components. We’ve compiled a few of the top Christmas and winter holiday gift ideas along with suggestions for making them more personal.
Crafters are always looking for new places or ways to store their craft supplies. For knitters, a new knitting bag with compartments for needles and stocked with a few nice balls of yarn or a pattern book makes a great “gift basket.” For jewelry makers, consider buying her a gorgeous wood jewelry box to store her creations. Tuck a few beautiful beads into the box to inspire her next work of art.
Gifts for Family HistoriansThere’s no doubt that at least one person in your family enjoys collecting family photos, letters, and other mementos to preserve for future generations. If you have one in your family, collect all the supplies they’ll need to create a gorgeous album, including the album, archival tape, and archival pen. Start the project by taping a family photo including that person in the front of the album. It will be a Christmas present that’s passed down for generations.
Gifts for CollectorsNearly any object can be collected: baseball cards, spoons, vintage brooches, or even vintage blenders. You can come up with numerous gift ideas by considering the recipient’s hobbies and collections. For example, a person who collects vintage watches would appreciate a glass-topped watch box to properly display it. If you’ve got a spoon collector in your life, plan ahead by buying commemorative spoons when you travel and presenting them with notes describing where you got them. The gift will be unusual and memorable.
Gifts for Cigar AficionadosA good cigar can be quite expensive. A better idea would be to buy a travel humidor or a small humidor for the aficionado in your life. That way he can keep cigars at home and in the office, and also enjoy them while traveling. Complete the gift by buying the humidifier fluid. If you know what kind of cigars he likes, visit your local cigar shop to buy one or ask the retailer to recommend something similar, but less expensive.
Most desk sets are bland – a mesh pen cup or a giant mug, a mesh or plastic paperclip holder, and that’s it. If you have a co-worker you need to buy a gift for, consider a valet box. The box is the perfect place to hold odds and ends like staple removers, binder clips, and lotion. You can also opt for a good bottle of wine or olive oil rather than the usual assortment of candy or cookies. When combined with a nice vinegar, the olive oil shows that you thought about the gift, and were more creative than the typical boss.
It’s not hard to come up with more unique gifts consider themes rather than stand-alone gifts.
