2020
has been a year like no other, and every family has had to face new challenges.
That’s
why Christmas this year has to be extra special, more exciting and more fun
than ever. It’s a time to celebrate what we have, the love, the support, the
togetherness.
This
is the year that our choice of gifts takes on a meaning as never before. It’s
going to be the thought and personal touches that go into each gift that will make each
one, no matter how luxurious or inexpensive, that much more special.
Here
are 4 exciting Christmas ideas for gifts that
every family member can share and enjoy.
1. Personalised
ornaments
An
inexpensive way to give a unique, fun look to the occasion, and make each member of the family feel extra
special, is to include some personalised Christmas accessories in your
decorations. Stockings, gift sacks, and
cushion covers with names and the year, not only add a light touch to the
event, but can all carry memories into the future. They ensure Santa knows which gift to leave
where, and can be used time and time again. Use them to add to the sense of
magic each Christmas Eve, and they’ll become part of your family’s happy
ritual.
2. Gift an experience
While
it tends to be the big-box items which get the most attention on Christmas
morning, consider offering the gift of a wonderful experience for your loved
one to enjoy later. Choose a voucher for a meal in a special restaurant, a much-anticipated
trip to Disneyland Paris, a romantic mini-break or an IOU for a day at the
seaside. As long as what you select is
something you know the recipient has been dreaming of, for a long time, this
will be a big hit. Just print the details on a beautiful piece of card, and use
a gold or silver envelope, so it looks extra special.
3. An individual treat
jar
Boxes
of chocolate, or selection packs – well, they’re part of Christmas, but they’re
not really so personal. Instead, why not
take a large, attractive treat jar, for each
member of the family, and every visitor, and fill it with the special treats
that they just love? Each jar will be
different. Each jar will contain
unexpected delights, and if you’re lucky, there may even be some swapping and
sharing. Decorate every one
individually, with a fun, personalized message.
4. For your pet
There’s
no doubt that pets are part of your family. When your pet gets a gift,
everyone’s happy to see their excited reaction.
As we’ve all been locked inside for a good part of the year, why not
offer your dog a gift that will get the whole family out and about, enjoying
the fresh air? A wearable dog pack will allow
your dog to carry his own snacks, water and even poop bags on hikes, bike rides
and all family outings.
Hope
those ideas above will spark some inspiration. Let’s make Christmas 2020 the
most creative and fun it’s ever been, and let’s also look for gift ideas that
extend beyond the day itself, to build wonderful memories in 2021.
