Other Gifting
Gifting season is approaching rapidly and you may be wondering: what should I be buying my loved ones? Never fear – we’re rounding up the top gifting trends of 2020 to help make your decision a little bit easier. If this year has taught us anything, family time and making memories are really what it’s all about. This year, we foresee people keeping it personal, memorable and affordable too.
Keep things affordable
The best gifts aren’t always the most expensive ones and with COVID-19 putting us all under a bit of financial strain, now is the time to get creative with your gifting to make sure your loved ones feel special without breaking the bank. Whether you decide to get crafty and make a personalised gift like a hand painted mug, or plan a special experience like a picnic at a park, a meal at their favourite restaurant or a visit to the zoo, you can make sure it’s memorable.
Sustainability
As climate awareness gains traction across the globe, people are becoming increasingly aware of the effect their consumerism has on the planet. That’s why, this year, gifting is leaning towards sustainable and eco-friendly purchases from local brands - especially because they need our support - such as reusable travel mugs, wooden and recycled material toys and fashion accessories and crockery too.
Digital gifts
Virtual is the way to go this gifting season. There are so many perks to buying digital gifts for your friends and family – there are endless options, there’s no need to wrap it and they get to choose how they want to use their gift which means there won’t be any awkward regifting. Some options include subscriptions to platforms like Spotify or Netflix. You can keep these cost effective too and buy the voucher package closest to your budget. For the teens, console game subscriptions like Xbox Games Pass or Playstation Now, and gift cards for online stores are a real winner while you give them the freedom to choose and still gift them something they’ll enjoy.
Wellness and self-care
When the end of the year comes around, everyone can feel a bit frazzled and worn out, especially after the year we’ve all had. That’s why some of the best gifts to give involve wellness and self-care. Treat your loved ones to an at-home pamper session with gifts such as skincare products from Revlon bath goodies, fragrance diffusers from Charlotte Rhys or even an at home spa treat like from Carmen.
Fitness at home
Almost everyone has made the turn towards a healthier and more active lifestyle this year after being thrust into a pandemic and restricted to our homes. With everyone searching endlessly online for health tips and healthy meals for the whole family, you can’t go wrong with favorites like a Nutri-bullet, yoga mat or even a fitness tracker too. We’re all more aware of what measure we need to take to keep ourselves and our families safe and healthy so if they won’t splurge on themselves, get them that bicycle or those hiking trainers and look forward to making new memories with those closest to you.
