CartHere’s How to Get the Right Gifts for the People You Love
Whether it’s for a family member or close friend, Christmas shopping is always a challenge. Start by considering what they really like to do. What are their hobbies? Are the activities they engage in more indoor or outdoor? Are their pursuits more social or solitary? Many people’s interests fall under one or more of the personas below. So, break out your Christmas shopping list and give it a read-through. The sooner you start crossing some names off the better!
Gift Ideas for the Foodie
If you’ve enjoyed the meals of an avid home chef, here’s your chance to show gastric gratitude. Foodies are often on the lookout for new gear and gadgets to add to their kitchen. A digital air fryer or sous vide precision cooker would fit the bill nicely. Smaller items can also be great home chef gift ideas. A good chopping block will provide heavy-duty service for years to come, and a breakfast sandwich maker will keep hungry bellies happy in the morning.
Gift for the Outdoor Lover
Whether at work or play, the outdoor lover needs the right gear for their outdoor activities. A new fishing rod makes a great Christmas gift for dad, as will a quality chainsaw or snow blower. For outdoor family fun consider a toboggan or sleigh for a day on the neighbourhood slopes. All that physical activity is sure to work up an appetite. What better way to satisfy it than a cookout around a new outdoor fire pit?
Gift Ideas for the DIYer
Shopping for the keen DIYer is easy. There are tons of tools that have almost universal applications regardless of the particular project. For example, every DIYer needs a good portable drill and circular saw. Sanders, grinders and jigsaws also see a lot of use. Stud sensors, tape measures and battery chargers are welcome additions to any toolbox and make for great last-minute Christmas gifts.
Gifts for the Gadget Geek
Any tech-lover wants their home to be as automated as possible. Smart TVs and audio equipment make great Christmas gifts for tech-lovers. A smart thermostat allows temperature control from their mobile device, while smart accessories like light switches, dimmers and outlets make good stocking stuffers. Home safety items such as cameras, motion sensors, and flood sensors are great Secret Santa gift ideas for the tech-lovers on your list.
Gift Ideas for Furry Friends
Don’t forget about your pets! Christmas morning is the one time it’s ok to tear up paper and packages, so make sure there’s something under the tree for them. Ball blasters and ball launchers provide great fun and exercise for your dog and are easier on your arm too. Your cat will appreciate a new soft toy to play with or stuffed mouse to chase. It’s also a good time to update grooming gear and stock up on treats and chew toys. For safety at night, consider a high-visibility safety collar.
Gift Ideas for Wellness Warriors
Self-care items are great Christmas gifts for the people you love the most. Essential oils with a diffuser tells them they deserve some “me time”, and a foot or body massager shows they’re worthy of pampering. A new hair dryer, curling iron, or straightener are always good Christmas gifts for mom. Consider heating pads and blankets for cozy warmth, and creams and lotions for stocking stuffer ideas.
Gift Ideas for the Host
For the avid home entertainers in your group, consider some Christmas gift ideas for hosting. ‘Tis the time for seasonal libations, so consider some stemware or shot glasses, an ice maker, or even a countertop wine cooler. A coffee maker is also a must for closing out the evening. An air cleaner can help purify the party environment after everyone leaves. As for your own home entertaining, make sure you’ve got a good reliable vacuum for pre- and post-party cleaning.
Gift Ideas for the Sports Fanatic
The sports fanatic can never have enough games and gear to fuel their passion. A hockey stick and net will certainly fit the season, and a new fishing rod will get broken out come springtime. Lawn games are also a great way to enjoy the outdoors and have fun with family and friends. From badminton and croquet to cornhole and washer toss, these easy outdoor games are sure to keep everyone entertained come summertime.
Gift Ideas for the Game Night Champ
Board games make great winter-weather entertainment, especially when the competitive juices get flowing! Whether it’s classic Clue, Connect 4, or a perennial favourite like Monopoly, these games provide hours of entertainment for family and friends alike. Slide, jump and collide into opponents with Sorry!, or shake and shout your way through a rousing game of Yahtzee. For Scrabble aficionados, the deluxe edition of the classic wordsmithing board game is sure to impress.
Stocking Stuffer Ideas
Don’t leave your stocking stuffer shopping to the last minute! Personal care items like razors and skin creams always make great gift ideas for mom. If her stocking is big enough you can throw in a new hair dryer. Scented candles are a perennial favourite and can be lit up and enjoyed on Christmas morning. Hand tools make great gift ideas for dad, though he might appreciate a new haircut kit as well.
