A Christmas present doesn’t have to be huge to make a big impact. Here are 4 small Christmas gifts that are sure to be a hit this holiday season.
1. Jewelry
You can’t go wrong with a beautiful piece of jewelry. In order to pick the right piece, though, you have to consider the gender, personality, and likes of the recipient.
First thing’s first: gender.
For the ladies on your list, consider the jewelry she already wears. Think about:
- The material: Is she into silver, gold, rose gold, or alternatives like leather or wood?
- The style: Does she like loud and trendy? Or more understated and classic?
- The type: Does she prefer earrings, bracelets, rings, or necklaces? Most ladies have one go-to type of jewelry, so getting that right will certainly set you on the right path.
Once you have that narrowed down, here are some great options:
For the Classic Woman
You can’t go wrong with a beautiful pair of diamond studs. They go with every outfit and they will last forever - two must-have elements for the classic woman’s wardrobe.
For the Trendsetter
For the fashion-forward jewelry lover, go for an option with unexpected texture or style. A pair of feather drop earrings, for example, will add an exciting pop of color and a surprising element to her wardrobe.
Now, for the gentlemen.
A great go-to for the guys is a beautiful watch. Once again, consider his personality and lifestyle when choosing a material and style.
Here are some choices:
For the Active Man
Get a waterproof, scratch-resistant watch that he can wear to the gym, on a swim, or even while running errands such as Luminox watches or Alpina Watches. It should be something that won’t break and that works with his active lifestyle.
For the Professional
Opt for something stylish that he can wear both at work and at cocktail hour. A classic leather option, for example, Orient watches can be the perfect finishing touch to any suit, blazer, or stylish tee.
2. A Keepsake
If you’re looking for something more sentimental, get a small keepsake that the recipient can use often and think of you. Here are some options:
A Small Dish
This can be for coins, jewelry, or even keys. Consider their lifestyle and find an option that they’ll use and enjoy every day.
A Figurine
Looking for something more decorative? Get a beautiful figurine that they can put on their mantle. This could be themed - a Halloween pumpkin or a Christmas Santa - or it could be something to accompany a hobby: food-related for the chefs, ocean-themed for the beach bums, etc.
3. Electronics
Today, electronics are basically a necessary part of day-to-day life, so getting a small gadget is always a good idea. Our fail-safe options? A great pair of headphones or a portable speaker.
4. Perfume
There’s no denying that smell is extremely important. More than any other sense, the sense of smell has the power to trigger memories and elicit emotion in a matter of seconds. That’s why you can never go wrong with a great perfume.
Here, it usually breaks down to the following:
- Floral
- Fresh
- Musk
If you’re really not sure what the recipient will prefer, get a sampler kit and let them choose their favorite.
