As we all know, the holidays are here again! This means finding the perfect presents for family, friends, and even co-workers. This year we are all conscious of cost when eggs cost $8. Great gifts do not have to be a fortune! This gift guide has been curated to showcase products that vary in every price range. We have the perfect presents that are big and small, merry and bright, educational and sensational, for those very young and those older, and items that can relax and renew our spirit. This guide has something for everyone to get them excited!
As the guide reflects society around us, we have a CBD section and a section on health products. Giving a useful gift works! Put the FUN in FUNctional gifts! Picking gifts that repair and revitalize, moisturize and heal, unwind us and keep people calm in the flurry of activity we all partake in, was important. Happy and healthy holidays are a wish we have for everyone. Making someone Feel Fabulous is a giant gift!
When you dispose of toys that your kids no longer play with to make room for new ones, please consider donating them to charity. Many groups like shelters will take toys that are in good condition. This teaches young people the gift of helping others. Winter coats are also a great item to donate. So many of us have products that have never even been used sitting in a closet. That scarf that you got from your secret Santa 4 years ago-give it to charity! Aunt Rita’s sweater was never your color, so take it to a shelter NOW!
Get creative with gifts! They can be funny and not cost much money. Make some cookies and put them in tins. Give certificates to do chores like babysit and clean the house. Who would not like to get a booklet of IOU monthly foot rubs? One could even donate hours to a charity of a gift recipient’s choice. That costs time, but not cash.
Loud toys, like drums, singing dolls, flatulent plush, and things that make animal noises seem cute at first, but can quickly become migraine producing or cringeworthy. Only give these items to other people, not to your child. You look great giving them, and then you can giggle and snicker quietly as they complain about having to hear Old MacDonald 79 times a day. Messy toys work in the same way. I am just saying…..
The prices on the below list may vary depending on when you shop and where you purchase products. Look for deals running on websites and sales on Amazon. Pixicade presents on this list are buy one/ get one half off on their website. Gift certificates almost always are received very well. Remember to order in time for your holiday if you are getting presents online!
Most of all — have fun while getting gifts for others! Be present while purchasing your presents.
