Soon we will be seeing the advertisements narrowing down how many shopping days and HOURS there are left. PRESSURE'S ON!! While I like the phrase I read about keeping Christmas more "Presence vs. Presents"... gifts ARE a pretty typical part of the holiday.
If you're stuck, try a theme gift. Takes a bit of running... but can be fun. An example that could work for anyone... any age... any gender... is the theme of TIME. Pick as many time topics as you want and find little gifts that symbolize those things. Small gifts work as well as big ones. Write little tags for each gift that say "take time to ____". Be sure to coordinate the wrapping, which helps created the feeling of a theme. You could put each wrapped gift in one larger bag... OR stack them and tie them with a beautiful ribbon.
Here are a few time topics you could use:
Take time to relax (books, candles, music)
Take time to do the things you enjoy (focus on their hobbies)
Take time to stay healthy (food or exercise related)
Take time to pamper yourself (special types of lotions, pedi gift cards, ect.)
Take time to remember who YOU are (loads of cute stuff out there in initials, framed photo)
Take time to grow (spiritual books or music)
Take time for others (make a small donation in their name)
Take time to get your hands dirty (gardening supplies)
Take time (any form of timer, clock, watch)
You get the idea. It's wide open, so use your creativity and have fun with it!! Dare bet they'll enjoy traveling through their theme gift... and feel special because you zoned in on who they are.
Happy shopping!! Hopefully we'll get to wrapping later...
