Gifting Ideas 🎁 (Blogmas Day 7)

Hey everybody! It's sooooo good to see y'alll today!😁 Today I'm going to be going a few gift ideas for friends and family. We all have people in our life that don't really tell us what they want. Then we're left with trying to find something for them and that can be really hard, especially when there is shortages, such as this year.

1) Games 

Now, I know not everybody are game players, but it's definitely an idea. I know this I got a board game for a family, who happens to be my best friends. They are big Star Wars fans, so I got them a board game that is centered around that. Don't worry, they don't read this blog, so the surprise won't spoiled. 

Maybe your friends or family are not into board games, there is other options, such as Play Station, XBOX, Nintendo Switch; these are gaming consoles that you can buy for. Depending what games you buy you may be able to find some really good deals on them, if you look hard enough. I know a ton of places just had them on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  
Even places like arcades could fall into this category. 

2) Customized Products

You can order things such as bracelets, earrings, necklaces, mugs, and so much more that are actually customized. My personal favorite place to look for things like this is either on Etsy or Ebay. You can also get blankets done with pictures at Walmart, where they have a lot more customized items as well. It's super simple too! Just get on the website, upload your photo(s), and wait for the package to come to your door. Another fun thing to customize are phone cases! In a world, where technology rules our lives it's so fun to have a little personal touch, but still functional at the same time. I know Yankee Candle also had a thing where you could upload photos onto a candle of your choice. The options are really endless with this one.

3) Ornaments 

A lot of us have tree and decorate for the Holidays. It's really fun to go to places like Hallmark, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, or even places like Khols or Bed Bath and Beyond for cute and fun ornaments. I know last week I went to Hobby Lobby for a tree skirt, and came out with several cute oranments! I know that may not be everyone's thing, and that's okay. There's a lot of gifts to go around. 

4) Nail/Hair/Massage Certificate 

Again, depending on who you're planning for, but if there is a woman in your like you may want to treat her to a nail/hair/ or even massage appointment. I think everyone can tend to let themselves go around the Holidays, just getting wrapped in all the festivities that they forget to take care of themselves. You can totally surprise them with this type of appointment to allow them to reset, especially at the end of the year! 

5) Restaurant Gift Cards

Gift cards in general are a great gift, although it's probably better to come up with something better, so it totally doesn't look like you waited until the last minute to get something. However, if you really don't know what to get them, or you did simply waited until the last minute. This is a great thing to give. You're able to set the price most times and it is really is nice to have free dinner some nights, where you don't have to cook, nor pay out of pocket. #Adulting 

Well, there's some ideas. I know it's kind of broad, but with gifts they are very personal. Definitely not one size fits all, so I really wanted to cover a wide range of categories. Be sure to simply listen to what they say, you may be able to find something that they may like, and be sure not to put too much pressure on yourself to find that "perfect gift." We should be able to make it fun and enjoy the fact that we have the opportunity and money to give, not making it about who can out give another. As I know sometimes that happens. 

Well, one last thing before I head off. I wanted to share what inspiration I got from my sister's post yesterday...
I did some Candy Cane inspired nail art. Figured you all would enjoy seeing that.🀣 

Anyways, I should let you guys go now...see you on Thursday!

 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? - Number 23:19 (KJV)
