We’ve been looking forward to the festive season and for many reasons, but one that we’re really looking forward to is gift-giving!
No matter how much some of us like to front that we don’t really care for presents and how it’s not a big deal but deep down we know you care.
Honestly, choosing the perfect gift is possibly one of the most exciting parts of Christmas, if not THE most fun. Just the sheer anticipation of finding that perfect present that makes your loved ones’ faces light up. It’s heartwarming.
And even if we’re all adults here and we’re more concerned with bills and adulting stuff, that doesn’t mean we need to abandon our Christmas traditions. On the contrary, it means that we have the perfect excuse to dive headfirst into the nostalgia of childhood Christmases.
This year, we’re on a mission. We’re working hard for that ‘Best Gift-Giver’ title, and we’ve got a secret game plan. First off, knowledge is power, especially when it comes to finding the right Christmas gift. We have to understand the interests of the person you’re buying for. That friend of yours who’s always reposting content from wellness blogs and carrying around cute water bottles? Perfect candidate for wellness-related gifts. Or the one who applies makeup in a moving vehicle? Definitely in the running for the latest beauty products. Then we’ve got the gym-goers, the book lovers, and the travel explorers, the list goes on but now we have a niche that we’ve narrowed them down to.
But for some of us, finding the gift even within that niche will just be exhausting and time consuming. Life should never be this hard, right?
Well, we can simply ask them for their Christmas wish list. Not as mysterious but definitely effective nonetheless. But remember that we’re going for joy over surprise this time. After all, no one really wants another present that they’ll end up giving out to someone else.
If you don’t have a direct wish list to work from, don’t worry. We could subtly have direct conversations towards their recent interests or find out if they’ve been eyeing anything specific recently. We still have some weeks till Christmas so it might not be too suspicious.
Also, we’re not limiting ourselves to physical presents only, there are activities, trips and even people that our loved ones would love to see or experience. So dig deep and we’re sure you’ll find the perfect present for your loved ones that they won’t forget in a hurry. Personally, the perfect present for me would be spending time with my long distance friends who I haven’t seen in a while.
And that, is our game plan for this year’s annual ‘Find the Perfect Christmas Gift’ challenge. We’re embracing it with joy and let’s keep in mind that no matter what, it’s the thought and love that counts the most.
