It is finally that time of the year again, and we don’t know about you – but we couldn’t be happier. We’re finally at that time when we can all take a collective breath and value the time we have with our families and friends, introspect and look towards a year that will be 2022 – the year of a brand new you.
Heaven only knows it couldn’t be worse than the year that just passed, so we say – let’s raise a glass to the time before us and leave the time behind us where it belongs. In the past.
But the silly season wouldn’t be the same without a healthy dose of shopping, so to help get you inspired, we’ve found some fabulously unique gifts for all the best people in your life.
#6 THE RECHARGEABLE HAND WARMER
Hands down (yep), one of our favorite picks for this year, and it’s the kind of gift that will have you and everyone you know asking: know why didn’t I think of that?
Absolutely fabulous if you live in the colder states and for those mornings waiting for the bus or going to work on the subway, this delightful little gadget (available on Amazon) keeps your hands and fingers warm and, unlike its single-use cousin, can be recharged and used repeatedly.
#5 IFOX IF012 BLUETOOTH SHOWER SPEAKER
Don’t lie. You know you want to be singing along to The Bangles, Manic Monday in your shower, with the volume turned up loud enough for your whole house to sing along too (they might not think so, but we know the truth – that tune rocks).
#4 THE ORIGINAL BUDDHA BOARD
The gift that keeps on giving. The recipient dips the “brush” in water and paints onto the canvas, but the canvas returns to its new, blank slate as it dries. It’s a gorgeous gift that’s thoughtful and makes the perfect accompaniment to an office or a quiet space at home.
#3 MADE IN USA PLAYING CARD ACCESSORIES
Find that unique gift item for the card player on your list. Find a variety of MADE IN USA items like playing card trays, trump markers and more.
#2 CUSTOM FACE PHOTO WRAPPING PAPER
So while this isn’t technically a gift, it’s one of the neatest ideas we’ve come across for Christmas in a long, long time. Available from www.zazzle.com, this paper is taking gift-wrapping to a whole new level. You can add your face or your friend’s or family’s faces, and you be guaranteed that whoever receives a gift wrapped in this paper will be saving the paper.
#1 DIY GAME CONSOLE
So there is nothing about this gift that we don’t love, and if you have a tech-nerd in your family or friendship circle, then we think that this is just about the best gift you could give them.
This diy game console is a console that you literally build yourself. It’s educational and teaches you all about game programming, and you get to play your favorite retro games at the same time.
However, you choose to spend your holidays, and however you’re going to celebrate, we hope you have a safe, happy, and blessed holiday season.
Happy Shopping!
