Enviable Christmas gift ideas for the whole list.
It’s xmas gift shopping season! And for many of us, there’s a looooooonnnggggg list of prezzies to get through. (Cue the frantic bookmarking of gift ideas left, right and centre.) So how do you make sure it’s a killer prezzie? One loved by the recipient, and envied by everyone else? Dw, we got you.
From your neighbour to your partner’s sister, to your bestie’s kid, to your pet, this gift guide has you covered for absolutely everyone. Because buying great value xmas gifts shouldn’t make you so stressed that you feel downright grinchy. Let’s start with one of the trickiest ones to nail - gifts for ‘her.’
Gifts for her.
Stylish girlfriend? Picky aunt? Bestie who already has everything? Getting great xmas gifts for the women in your life can be a huge feat. Luckily, we’ve got the goods that will make them smile, with prezzie ideas you might have never thought of.
For your dear sweet mother in law, a pair of stylish sunnies may seem like a bit of a random gift, but if she often compliments what you wear, then we can guarantee she’ll appreciate receiving a chic pair of specs from her coolest son/daughter in law. She’ll be showing them off at her next get together and singing your praises to her mates too. You’re welcome.
We’re just going to put it out there, that snooty aunt of yours can’t turn her nose up at an extremely useful gift, so why not pay for her next car service? It’s a thoughtful, unusual and entirely unexpected gift. Game on Aunt Jane.
Now, on to your best mate. You can attempt to bring out her creativity in the kitchen (and encourage her to feed you more) with a food processor. It’s one of the most enviable gifts because it’s so darn useful! Or, if your BFF isn’t the cooking type (#canrelate), a luxurious beauty voucher for a facial is a gift she’s sure to adore.
Finally, for your beloved partner, you can’t go wrong with giving her a truly memorable experience. For a unique, thoughtful gift, why not go for a couple dolphin experience? That’s one for the books. Or, if you’re not convinced by the options, jewellery gifts for her are always fail-safe.
Gifts for men.
Let’s just say it: men can be the toughest people in the family to buy gifts for. But there’s one gift you’ve probably never thought of for your dad - a hand blender. His inner chef will flourish and let’s face it, dad’s love a good gadget. Also in the way of gifts for men and their love of gadgets, there’s the sleep therapy smart goggles for the dad who need’s a better night’s sleep.
Time to find a gift for your grand-dad? There’s nothing that says how much you care, like a gift of a memorable experience that you can have together, like a concert! Just make sure it’s a gig he’ll like. You might have to go a bit old school…
For your partner, why not send a not so subtle message with a top of the line vacuum cleaner? Way to give a hint! And what do you mean this is also a gift for yourself? What on earth are you talking about? If you and your gadget obsessed partner already have every home device under the sun, then a thrilling date like an Indoor Skydiving Experience will be unforgettable.
Gifts for kids.
Christmas is usually all about the kiddies, and they’ll probably have the whole toy catalogue wrapped up under the tree at xmas lunch. But there are some unique gift ideas that the rest of the family wouldn’t have thought of.
For the new bub in the family, nothing becomes the talk around the xmas table like a sweet, personalised gift. The winning, cute as xmas morning gift for the new baby? A name puzzle. Adorable!
Now, if you have a worry wart sibling and it’s your nephew or niece you need to shop for, look no further than the Kid’s Smart Watch. Say hello to your nervy bro/sis having peace of mind without having to buy them a smartphone. (A secret plus: they might let go of the reins a bit!) However, for the thrill-seeking kid, you’ll win the best aunt/uncle award on xmas day by buying them their first ever car; one that’s kid’s size - of course. The other aunts and uncles never stood a chance.
Finally - your bestie’s kid. Score serious godparent points and prove that science can be fun with a hands-on, interactive gift like a Crystal Growing Kit, a mini Windmill Generator or an Anti-gravity Magnetic Levitation Kit. Mind blown.
Gifts for pets.
Your fur-baby deserves the world and more, so we’ve got the festive goods to delight them and make the other cats & dogs in the neighbourhood jealous this xmas. First up, the most boredom-curing toy for your clever pooch - a twister puzzle (with rewards!) They will fall head over paws for it. If you’re more of a feline family, then you can’t miss the ultimate palace for your luxury-loving kitty, with the mother of all scratch playgrounds.
Want to spoil your bird with a brand new toy? Get one that provides constant entertainment and engagement for xmas day and beyond. Or are you a fish person? Maybe you want to upgrade their pad or even have enough room to add to the fam? If so, a state-of-the-art aquarium will have you and your fishy friend swimming in compliments.
Finally, this gift is very much for the jet-setting you, but your fur-baby will also absolutely love it - an expandable pet trolley. Because 2023 should be all about you moving around in style, with your pet comfy and travelling in luxury.
