It’s finally Christmas season! Dust off those wish lists that have been written since Dec. 26th: it’s time to shop. Gifting the perfect items for loved ones appears to be all fun and games; however, confidence might waver when staring at dull Pinterest boards provides no inspiration. Every special someone deserves their special gift, even if that person seems to already have everything.

To start, the supposedly “easy” gifts for men. A jersey for a sports-obsessed brother can never go wrong, and a grilling father will be perfectly content with a new gadget. An outdoorsman is always open to a jacket, water bottle or maybe an empty scrapbook/journal for his latest adventures. For fitness enthusiasts, protein powder and pre-workouts are like candy, along with a new speaker. Gamers are always looking for a good-quality pair of headphones, and a gift card for his favorite game would be the cherry on top. 

Moving on to the women, where shopping becomes a little harder. Self-care Sundays are never complete without a few face-masks and a good set of pajamas. Maybe your best friend has been looking for an excuse to attempt heatless curls! An aspiring baker/chef needs her professional apron, and DIY baristas will never deny a frother and a new mug. Gift cards and hair accessories are kryptonite to makeup lovers. Another classic gift for all parties involved: digital cameras for capturing memories from FNL to formal.

Gift deadlines are fast approaching, which means it’s time to hit the mall!
