Our loved ones do it all. They encourage us, care for us, have fun with us, support us. Finding great gifts for everyone on your list is a continuous challenge. Luckily there are tons of great products on the market that will delight and pamper those we love.
For the Bright and Cheery Bestie
Our best friends are the siblings we never had. They know our secrets. They are our adopted family, so when it is time to celebrate them, no better gift says, “you are important to me, and I love you,” like fresh flowers. However, flowers themselves don’t have a long shelf life, and within a week, your best friend will be looking at a bunch of brown stems and floppy flowers.
That is where roses that last a year are the perfect investment. The beautiful roses have been preserved so that they can be enjoyed for many, many months as a reminder of how much you care.
For the Home Chef in your life
We all know that foodies are a different breed. They love tasting the subtleties and playing with different flavors. There is no better gift for the budding home chef than a perfect pairing of olive oil and balsamic. The balsamic and olive oil flavors have been perfectly matched, so to make exploring the flavors and taste testing the product the best part of cooking dinner.
For the Mindful Matriarch
Growing up, we put our mothers through the wringer of stress, anxiety, a packed schedule, and it was still her job to make sure we were fed, clothed, and happy at the end of the day. It makes sense that momma may prefer the peace and quiet of meditation these days over the gaggle of obnoxiously loud children she raised. Why not support this mindful silence by gifting her a quality aromatherapy essential oil set.
Now she can travel through scent combinations as she quiets and empties her mind to rejuvenate her spirit.
For the Fashionista
Every family usually has one very fashionable member who can just about take a stack of rags and make it look good. However, it can be hard to pick something of high quality and with the perfect amount of uniqueness to suit their style or taste. An evil eye bracelet or evil eye necklace is a good choose. A subscription to a clothing company could prove to be the ideal solution. These subscription services take your family member through an intense survey process where they can choose all the different details in sizing, style, and feel that they love, then the on-staff stylists curate a monthly box based on the choices and ship it right to their door.
This is a gift that keeps on giving inspiration while showering your family member with luxurious fabrics and accessories they will love.
For the Resident Green Thumb
A self-watering herb kit is a perfect gift for the dad who loves to play in the dirt. It comes with a starter pack of seeds and everything you need to create the ideal window seal herb garden. Complete with a built-in self-watering system and grow lights, dad will be able to enjoy fresh herbs with every meal for months to come.
For the Future Sommelier
It seems that some of us just have a more sophisticated pallet that can pull out all the depth of flavors from a single glass of wine. It is almost as if they were an archeologist transcribing long lost crave drawings when discovering the high notes, the low notes, and the grassy finishes of each different bottle.
A monthly wine tasting subscription box would be the perfect gift for the avid wine lover.
For the Athlete in the Family
Some of us were born to run, jump, and play and as we grow into adulthood, these are the family members who become athletes. Athletes have a hard job. They eat, sleep, breathe their workout, and have the drive and passion for dominating their next goals.
A personal massager is a perfect gift for aiding an accomplished athlete in their recovery. Recovery time is just as important as training for making sure an athlete’s body has time to rejuvenate and rest before the next training session.
For the Nature Enthusiast
There is no better gift for the cousin in your life who spends all their free time on the trail than a lightweight camping hammock. A lightweight camping hammock can easily fit in your overnight pack and won’t add bulk to your carry load, but it will add relaxation. There is nothing more perfect than enjoying your camp dinner in a hammock as you watch the sunset over a beautiful overlook.
For a lightweight hammock, you want something compact, sturdy, and quick drying. A versatile product with some waterproofing would make a great gift because it can act as a rain tarp in uncertain stormy situations, adding a level of protection when needed.
For the Avid Reader
Every family has a bookworm, and it’s hard to guess which books they have or haven’t read or which series are worth their time. A subscription book club or audiobook club would be the absolute best gift for the fantasy, mystery, function, or non-fiction enthusiast because you don’t have to worry about choosing the book yourself.
Your family member can even complete a survey which will offer up new book suggestions each month based on books they have previously read and enjoyed.
There are subscription services where you can access an endless database for their eReader. There are audiobook subscriptions with notable authors and unique celebrity guest readers. And even subscriptions that send you a new, old-fashioned book in the mail each month complete with an online book club experience so your family member can read and discuss the book with a new group of online friends.
For the Hard Person to buy for
We all have that person in our family that we just can’t buy for. They either have it all or hate it all, making it incredibly frustrating when trying to find something they will enjoy. That’s where a gift card to Uncommon Goods could save the day.
Uncommon Goods has every gift you could imagine. There are unique and useful gadgets, beautiful artwork, specialized clothing items, and so much more. You picky person will find it difficult to leave the Uncommon Goods site without seeing at least one thing they love, but if they are anything like us, they’ll be like a kid in a candy store who is torn between gadgets and goodies.
Family Fun through Gift Giving
Choosing gifts for our loved ones can be just as fun as watching their faces as they get to experience their gifts for the first time. It is easy to be thoughtful and pick out unique and personalized gifts with so many great brands and offerings on the market.
With just a little bit of research, you’ll be able to quickly find the absolute best gifts for those in your life whom you love very much, and they’ll have the experience of enjoying your kind and thoughtful gift that you chose just for them and the defining moments of their lives.
