Can’t think of any gift ideas for a partner, friends, or family? This list could help in a pinch with Christmas day arriving sooner than you’d think, and keep your wallet intact.
- Christmas sweaters, fuzzy socks
For the Christmas season, everyone needs an ugly sweater, and fuzzy socks to wear by the fireplace. It’ll keep them warm in the winter, and fashionable when wearing with a group of friends, or family.
- Adult dot-to-dot books & coloring
It’s a fun activity no matter their age. Everyone loves to color or draw from dot to dot, creating a big picture.
- Gift cards
An easy and thoughtful way to show appreciation of a person. By giving them a gift card from their favorite clothing store, or restaurant.
- Socks and Underwear
When socks go missing in the washer or dryer, or some other odd place, it’s hard to keep up in stock. This is a great time to get them new socks and underwear.
- Hot wheels
Even for the young ones, or old, every guy loves the simplicity of a toy car. Whether it brings them back to childhood or just stimulates the brain, it’s fun to have. 40 years ago, Hot Wheels were $1 per car but now are $7.
- Legos
For guys or girls, consider picking up a Lego set. It doesn’t need to be expensive, but it also means spending time helping them build the set. For the girls, consider getting a bouquet or flower sets. Depending on the set, it could be expensive, but 40 years ago, a large set could be bought for $100 dollars, and sets relative to it, are now $600-$700.
- A water bottle
A brand new water bottle to keep the hot chocolate and coffee warm, or a refreshing ice-cold beverage. This gift is good all year round.
- Vinyl
A vinyl of the newest Taylor Swift album is a good gift for those with a record player. It’s a fun way to listen to music, and is greatly appreciated by many. Vinyls were half the price, at $7.78 40 years ago, but still cheap, now sitting at a comfortable price of $15.
- Blankets
For the colder months, a large fluffy blanket, or even a weighted blanket can keep you warm. Whether they’re watching a movie, or going to bed, a blanket is a good gift.
- Candy/chocolate
Candy hits the Christmas sweet tooth, especially if it’s the receiver of the gifts’ favorite candy. It’s cheap, tasty, and almost always loved. The price of a candy bar 40 years ago started at 35 cents, to $1.49. Still easy, quick, and thoughtful.
