Holiday season is the most magical of all. There are parties to attend, decorations to put up and gifts to buy. But why is it that the latter one can sometimes cause so much stress when it’s supposed to be a time of joy? In this age of extensive consumerism, we often find that the people on our list already have most of the things they need. And there’s certainly no point buying something they don’t want, only for it to be shoved in the back of a cupboard. So here’s a definitive guide to Christmas gifts for the difficult ones on your list so you can spend your time getting Christmas party ready instead!
TV Streaming Subscription
TV streaming has really taken off in the last couple of years, and there are an immense amount of movies and shows that can be enjoyed. For example, if your Mom or Grandparents want to stream Downton Abbey, they can do so at the click of a button. And if Dad loves his movies, there is always plenty of choice! A year’s TV streaming service also makes the perfect gift if you have a brother or sister who has just left home for college or have moved into a new house. It’s the ideal gift for entertainment lover’s and will be appreciated all year round.
Theater Tickets
Who doesn’t love a trip to the theater every so often? It’s a chance to get dressed up, enjoy a pre-theater dinner and then indulge in a great show. Whether your gift recipient loves musicals, plays, the ballet or something comedy, there is something on stage to suit everyone. We often don’t think about treating ourselves to theater tickets. Therefore giving them as a gift is a wonderful surprise. Just make sure to pick a genre you know the person will like. And don’t forget to buy two. Nobody wants to be billy-no-mates in their seat! And if you’re feeling plush why not include a pre-theater dinner treat too.
Wine Box Subscription
A gift that is guaranteed not to be lost at the back of the cupboard is a wine subscription gift. Companies such as Vine Box, offer a month, three-month or yearly subscription that allows you to create a fantastic Christmas gift. If you know a wine connoisseur this is the ideal present. Each month they will be sent three vial size wines selected from exceptional boutique wineries across Europe. They will also get tasting notes and recommended pairings, and stories behind the wine. It’s a beautiful bespoke gift that is sure to be treasured all year long.
Magazine Subscription
Lastly, never underestimate the value of a magazine subscription. Whether you have a gadget, fashion, nature or home and garden lover to buy for there is a magazine out there to suit everyone. And knowing you’re going to get a monthly gift is actually a lot more exciting than opening just one on Christmas Day! So whether you opt for Vogue, Reader’s Digest or National Geographic, be assured that this is a gift that just keeps on giving!
