The holidays are upon us! During this time, I’m always scrambling to find the perfect gifts for my family and friends, and I know I’m not the only one. Here are 5 gift ideas for your loved ones!
1. Weighted Blanket
There have been countless raving reviews about the benefits of weighted blankets circulating the internet, and it’s all with good reason. Weighted blankets can help improve the quality of sleep, reduce stress and anxiety, and at times, reduce pain perception. I think they are a great option if you’re looking for a gift idea for a loved one!
2. Candles
If all else fails, candles are always a safe option that most people will enjoy. If you know what kind of scents the person you are gifting to gravitates towards, try to search for similar scents. As long as the candle smells nice and is aesthetically pleasing, you generally can’t go wrong with this gift idea.
3. Warmies
Warmies are heatable, lavender scented, weighted stuffed animals. The heated, scented, weighted aspects of the stuffed animals makes them soothing, anxiety-reducing, and comforting. Though they are technically for children, I firmly believe that they are a perfectly acceptable gift for all ages. They’re comforting, cuddly and cute – anyone who loves stuffed animals will fall in love with them in a heartbeat.
4. Customized Gifts on Etsy
If you’re looking for a more personalized gift to give, Etsy is a great place to look! You are guaranteed to find thousands of vendors with their own unique products, and you’re bound to fall in love with more than one item. From engraved woodwork to customized prints, Etsy has it all.
5. Artwork
Artwork is a highly personal gift that will surely bring a smile to anyone’s face. If you’re into fiber arts such as knitting or crocheting, some simple gift ideas are hats, scrunchies, and scarves. These are all quick, fun gifts that are highly customizable based on your resources and the recipient’s personal tastes. If you aren’t artistically inclined, thrift stores always have beautiful artwork – thrift-hunting for artwork your friends or family might like is always a fun adventure!
