Stumped on what to buy for everyone on your holiday gift list? Like most of us, you probably have at least one person that is impossible to buy for. Maybe they have everything they need or want, or they’re minimalists and they don’t want any more “stuff”. But you want to do something to acknowledge the holiday and let them know how much you mean to them. If you’re looking for some creative gift ideas, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve curated a list below that will give you memorable holiday gift ideas sure to leave an impression on each recipient.
Experiences
How about a day at their favorite theme park? Or a cooking or pottery class? If you’re buying for someone artsy, how about a pottery class or a workshop on learning calligraphy? If you’re buying for a fitness lover, maybe dance classes or a session with a private trainer? Wine tasting, a beer brewing class, or a lesson in making sushi or designing a charcuterie board are great ideas for the foodie in your life.
Concert tickets, a meal subscription kit, an online Master Class in something they’re interested in, a scenic train ride, an escape room or tickets to a comedy club are other good experience-related gifts.
Personalized Gifts
You can monogram just about anything for a personalized gift - towels, picture frames, stationery and note cards, keychains and tumblers, glassware, tote bags, or clothing. A personalized gift will have them thinking of you every time they pull out your gift.
Spa Packages
Check out the local spas in the city your loved one lives in and look at their reviews. You could buy a specific service like a massage or pedicure or buy a gift card and let them decide. Everyone loves to be pampered and it’s an extra indulgent gift that makes anyone on your list feel special.
Food Baskets
You can create your own food basket full of snacks or baked goods or buy frozen steaks to be delivered. Sending someone a specialty tin of cookies will also make an impression. Anyone who has a houseful of guests will appreciate having extra food around the house during the holidays.
The Gift of Peace
If you’re looking for a truly unique gift that will last much longer than a sweater, consider giving the gift of advance care planning. With families gathering over the holidays, it’s the perfect time to start the conversation about what’s important to you if you were to become seriously ill. What kind of medical treatment do you want, or don’t want?
It’s an opportunity to get your whole family involved, young and old because accidents can happen to any of us and Grandma won’t feel singled out if everyone gets involved. Five Wishes is the nation’s most used advance directive and has been called the living will with heart and soul because it doesn’t just address your medical concerns, but also discusses how comfortable you want to be, how you’d like to be treated and what you’d like your loved ones to know. It is a gift for you and your loved ones. You’ll be comforted knowing that your wishes will be met and those close to you will gain peace of mind.
