I know some are not comfortable on giving gift cards but this is the safest bet for someone who doesn’t have the time to shop. Besides, gift cards are a great idea because you are giving your loved one the freedom to choose what they really want. For your fashionista friends and family, a gift card from Forever 21, H &M, Urban Outfitters or other clothing brands will make their day.

 

4. Stationery printed crafts

For the hip, artsy and minimalist people in your lives, stationery printed craft from Justine Ma Design and Lettering is definitely your go to. They sell mugs, home accessories, toddler tees and onesies, cards, prints and stationeries perfect for every occasion. A treat for Justine Ma’s workshop is also an amazing idea especially if your loved one is into calligraphy and water brush lettering.

 

5. A DIY Advent calendar for the party animal

Booze lovers will be ecstatic to receive an advent calendar, that’s for sure. If you have the money to spend, advent calendars are pretty much available at all liquor stores by this point. But if you are taking easy on the budget, why not consider making your own DIY? Take advantage of the discounts and sales your local liquor store is offering. Making a holder or a container could be tricky but trust me, it will be worth it. Your loved ones will appreciate it more knowing that you made it with love ❤

 

If all else fails, just remember that the essence of Christmas is not about the gifts you give or the gifts you receive. It’s all about the presence of those who really matters to you. Enjoy the holiday season!
