Holiday shopping seems to be incredibly difficult every year, especially now that people can buy anything they want instantly with two clicks on their mobile device. This year, you’ll have to get creative and think outside of the box.
With the holidays approaching fast, you don’t want to wait until the last minute to start shopping for gifts. Here are six of the best holiday gifts that are perfect for every member of the family.
Illustrated Family Portrait
Etsy is one of the best places to find unique gift ideas for your loved ones. One of the fan favorites we discovered was illustrated family portraits by local artists. Send them photos along with any specific details such as pets and age ranges, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how fun and unique this idea turns out.
Custom Family Calendars
If you’re looking for one gift you can give the entire family, you should absolutely consider making a custom calendar. While this gift is a little time-consuming, it will be well worth it when everyone sees how much love was put into it.
You can add photos on specific dates throughout the year so people know it’s someone’s birthday or anniversary. Customize the featured images to highlight certain people every month. If you’re looking for a platform to start creating your custom calendar, Printing Center USA offers affordable calendar design and printing options.
Family Project Books
There are a wealth of family project books out there from the Adventure Challenge Family Edition to 100 Fun Things To Do Together Bucket List and Journal. These books and journals highlight different activities parents and children can do together to disconnect from their screens and reconnect as a family.
Long Distance Friendship Lamps
We will try not to get too sentimental on you, but this is one incredibly unique gift idea. Long-distance friendship lamps are great ways for long-distance friends or family members to say connected.
Here’s how it works: When one person touches the lamp, the other lamps will glow with their designated color. It’s a way of letting others know how much you miss them and that you are thinking of them. Not to mention, it feels much more personal than sending a text message.
Family T-Shirts or Sweatshirts
Did you know that you can create your own custom clothing? Through websites like Shopify, you can make your own unique shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, mousepads, and other various items. Sure, most people use the platform to sell new products. But this is also a great platform to create something that is specifically one-of-a-kind for your family.
If you are on the side of wanting to give your family a funny gift, creating your own t-shirt could be a great idea to start with. Choose funny photos or old throwbacks of every member of the family. Make a collage and print it on the front of the back. Get everyone’s size and with a few clicks of a button, you’ll have all of your holiday gift shopping done.
In The End, Go Personalized
No matter what you decide to get your family this year for the holidays, the best and easiest way to find the perfect gift for every member of the family is to personalize it. This could be with their name, through photos, or even with certain qualities that are unique to each person.
You don’t have to stick to simply buying candles and body lotions anymore. At the end of the day, the holidays are about being with family and less about what you give them.
