As the holiday season has come and gone, we are filled with excitement of all the possibilities of this new year. To make sure our 2025 gets off to the best start possible, here is an after-holiday gift guide that will provide fun for friends, family and loved ones alike as we all make our way into 2025.
Did you get a lot of money this holiday season? Are you wondering what to buy yourself? Some good general items could be chocolate, favorite snacks, or money. Babies need things like blankets, clothes and soft toys. Little kids enjoy toys, books, clothes, gift cards to their favorite stores or trips to their favorite places. Teens love to go shopping for a variety of things, from clothes, to shoes, to technology accessories to self-care items. Some fun gifts teenagers would actually use would be small room décor, water bottles, gift cards, fuzzy blankets, games and books. Makeup/ skincare, bags, LED lights, jewelry and money would also be safe bets. For the athletes, athletic wear or motivational stickers would be good, and for the artists, arts and crafts kits, embroidering materials, markers, sketch pencils, paint, or other art supplies. Giving or receiving, these items guarantee a win-win either way!
Looking for fun for the whole family, consider buying whole-family board games, a pS5, or maybe a Nintendo switch! Items like scented candles or incense, a JBL speaker, mindfulness journals or mini-massagers would be small, thoughtful gifts to treat yourself or show appreciation and care for others.
When you have no idea what to get someone, consider what they enjoy doing. Do you really know them? Think about their interests or hobbies they do in their spare time. Maybe they have none, and are busy working, reading, exercising, or playing sports. Do they love plants, fashion, traveling or coffee? Maybe their passions are more culinary, or musical? Perhaps they are more tech savvy and would enjoy the latest gadgets technology, or enjoy trying new foods?
Pro tip: a subtle hint that people often drop is the gift they are giving could be something they themselves are wanting to receive. However, a favorite gift for many could simply be the joy of receiving a handmade gift, card, craft, or piece of jewelry.
