This year I came across some truly beautiful and inspiring gift ideas for everyone, including lovely items that any woman would want, fun toys that engage, personalized or sentimental items that will be cherished, and a couple that do double duty, making life easier and saving money. I compiled my favorites to share and help you out this year!
Top Ten Gift Ideas For Christmas 2015
1 For him – Personalized photo gifts from Collage.com… photo books, photo blankets, wrapped canvas, they have it all, so you can present dad with his childrens’ smiling faces. These become cherished family heirlooms that decorate the home (and I love them too).
2 For her – Jewelry is always right, and a delicate gold bangle is as wonderful as it gets (drop earrings and a bangle bracelet are all I need to be happy). I love this one with a little bow on it, very feminine.
3 For young girls – the Easy Bake Ultimate Oven Baking Star Edition. It’s white and sparkly, and lets every girl bake up some pretty taste cupcakes and treats. I have sons, and they love it too… kids love to bake and it’s my chance to spend time with them having fun while they learn too.
4 For your daughter – Irresistible Me hair extensions She’ll never tie up the bathroom again while crying over a bad hair day, she’ll feel confident and look great, and they are just plain fun… what a great way to have long or short hair when you want… These are also my top pick for a self-gift if you want to treat yourself. The quality of these Remy extensions is exceptional and they look sooo natural!
5 For young boys – Star Wars plushies (because they love Star Wars) for puppet shows, creative action figure playing, imaginative story telling, etc. The Force Awakens for little Jedi Knights everywhere, so be the cool mom who gets the right gift!
6 For your son – The Polar Express 30th edition It’s about adventure and belief in a magical world of Santa and elves, and this year you can share the 30th anniversary edition with them for many memorable nights reading together. It comes with a beautiful ornament in the silhouette of the Polar Express train.
7 For the new baby ButterMilk Babies Swaddles are supercute and cozy and oversized so they grow with them from swaddlers to blankets for many future cuddly nights together (@ButterMilkBabies). My sons still haven’t outgrown their swaddle blankets, and when they are this cute, you can see why.
8 For the teacher A giftcard to Fandango or a yearlong streaming membership to Netflix… she has her own life and family outside of school, give her the gift of entertainment to enjoy it with her loved ones. It’s the gift of fun and family time.
9 For grandparents – A lovely little decorated home Christmas tree from Jackson and Perkins… send their grandkids over to decorate it with them (including some of their personally made ornament gifts from school) for a wonderful evening together with gramma, gramps, and the kiddies. Jackson & Perkins offers many Christmas gifts I loved, such as beautiful candles and home decor, but this one seems to me to be a great gift for the grandparents, a lush little tree warming up their home that reminds them of time spent with their adored grandchildren.
10 For the new neighbors Good Feng Shui to start off in their new home on the right foot. A pair of love birds salt and pepper shakers set or robin eggs soaps in a lotus dish both bring good luck into a home, and are so beautiful that they are truly decor- I don’t think I’d be able to use them for their actual uses, I’d just want to display them!
There is truly something for everyone on this list, and truly items that are unique and fun. Now you can go enjoy the rest of your holiday season, because your shopping is done!
