The holidays are nearly here, and though the official big shopping days – Black Friday and Cyber Monday – have come and gone, most of us are still searching for those perfect presents. But what to get? In some ways, the vast number of gifts available online at the touch of a button have made it harder than ever to shop for friends and families. The pressure is on for every present to be just right.
Luckily, you’ve still got plenty of time to finish your shopping, especially if you splurge on express delivery. These ideas should help you shop for every last person on your “nice” list.
For Beauty Buffs
For those truly devoted to their looks, only a few names matter, and at the top of the list is Urban Decay. This year, win their hearts with Urban Decay’s Full Spectrum Palette, quite possibly the brightest eyeshadow palette around. The palette is high sparkle and big on neon, but it can be hard to find those tones in classy, high-quality brands. This will fill out any beauty lover’s collection.
As for that lady whose tastes lean a little more mature, another great option is the L’Occitane Advent Calendar, an incredible value for the number of products hidden behind those little doors. Sure, Advent is already halfway over, but even if you delivered this gift on Christmas, we guarantee the recipient would have a great time discovering what’s inside.
For Hippies and Health Nuts
In this day and age, we all know one – the health guru who is invested in all things organic and superfood. Why not let them grow their own with the gift of an heirloom seed kit? Heirloom vegetables are prohibitively expensive in grocery stores, keeping most of us from enjoying their incredible flavors, but the seeds are reasonable on their own. Plus, the recipient will be certain that the end result is entirely organic because they grew it in their very own backyard.
For Tech-Tethered Teens
If there’s anyone on your Christmas list who’s hard to buy for, we guarantee it’s probably a teenager. Teens are just undeniably fussy and their interests change seemingly every day. One thing that never goes out of style, though, is the smartphone.
This year, give the gift that keeps on giving by offering your favorite teen some technological insurance in the form of a portable charger. This “fingers crossed” charger model perfectly sums up how they’ll be feeling during that family gathering, anyway – fingers crossed that their phone won’t give out. Do them a favor and charge this gift before you give it to them.
For a real gift that gives on giving, though, and not just one that offers your teen some social relief, consider these stylish backpacks from State Bags. Not only are they well made, but for each bag purchased, the company stocks and gives away a backpack to a kid in need.
For Old School Geeks
Being a geek is almost cool these days, what with the popularity of Pokemon and Star Wars, but old school geeks still don’t get enough love. This year, take the geek on the go with the gift of a handheld Pac-Man game that imitates the original console, or give them something to fidget with at work with a classic Lego mug. We all know someone who still has all of their favorite sets and will have plenty of pieces to add on.
It’s a great feeling when you find the perfect gift for someone, but it isn’t always easy. Even if none of these quite fit the bill, hopefully, they’ve given you some inspiration as to what items will make your friends and family smile.
