I tried to post on Relationships, but I was directed here instead. I felt inspired to compile a list of ideas after thinking hard on this topic the last few weeks.Practical Gifts:Coffee tumbler that plugs into your car charger to keep it warmSupportive pillow or 1,000 count sheets (for the insomniac in your life)Gift basket with fancy olive oil, wine, spices, homemade jam (for the recent homeowner)Quality HeadphonesTexting Compatible glovesGift Certificate for a Massage(for the stressed, athletic, or pregnant person)Portable SpeakerFrench Press Coffee MakerElectric Blanket or Fuzzy Robe/Slippers (for the person that's always cold)Cookware, baking supplies, cute measuring cups(for the foodie in your life) Modcloth has cute/quirky kitchenware sometimes!Nice hiking backpack, or 2 person tentCar Emergency Kit (jumper cables, warming blanket, flashlight, portable charger etc.)Upgraded version of golf clubs, tennis racket, tennis shoes, etc.Leather laptop bag/backpackSharp Knives(for people who cook a lot)YETI cooler(but not a YETI hat, those are just lame)Fun Gifts:Board Games -So many fun Adult Rated games these days, or take it back to the old days with Battleship or Candyland.Puzzles of something they like(like Star Wars, Tim Burton movies, Marvel Comics, Geography, etc.)Bubble Machine or Lava LampNFL, NBA, Concert TicketsBeach Kite/Beach ToysTickets to an Escape room, Movies, Museum, Wine&Painting SessionsBonfire accessoriesXBOX, PS4 games significant others can play togetherRecord Player(saw some for only $40 this weekend) or Vinyls.Adult Coloring Books(There are ones with swear words, or nature inspired ones)Portable badminton/volleyball/ping pong netMid century furniture/decanters/ashtrays/knick knacks/dishes/etc. (for people into that kind of interior design.)Random Gifts:LED Christmas lights- Ladies like me love putting these all over the house year round. I can't get enough..Outdoor decorations/Patio furnitureFavorite Sports team Jersey/Tumbler/coffee mug/ornament(Even better if you can get the 1980's/90's vintage version)Favorite Movie/TV Show coffee mug, poster, etc. Etsy has some really cool Modern/Reimagined Movie posters that could double as artwork in a home.Fancy Liquor/ Bar Sets with Mad Men style glassesSample Sets of luxury Makeup/Haircare/Perfume from Ulta or Sephora(These usually have nice, but smaller versions for about $30) for beauty junkiesSnacks from around the world(order online or go somewhere like World Market or local Asian/Mexican market)Biography of their favorite Musician, or celebrity(for people who like to read)Succulents or quirky flower pots(I just saw a sloth planter last week)Locally made hot Sauce, CBD oil, moonshine, etc.Stationary/Crafting Supplies/ScrapbooksLuxury chocolateVintage Cigarette cases (for the smoker or walletless person in your life)Subscription boxes of things they like(Lots of cool ones out there!)Sentimental Gifts:Sellers on Etsy will draw your family portrait (for your mommy)23 and me KitsNostalgic toys(Stores like Mast General store carry toys your parents may have grown up with)Sweatshirt/Hats/Maps from someone's hometownCustom "family" jewelry- Have a local jewelry artist "modernize" an outdated family heirloom to something wearable for a mother or sister(BUT MAKE SURE THEY WON'T BE ANGRY IF IT'S CHANGED)Personalized door mats/Doormats with movie quotesTime/Acts of Service - This can be helping your parents clean out a garage, or taking them to a band they grew up withSocks with pet's picture on thereA handwritten recipe or signature of a deceased loved one- Etsy can take your grandmother's handwriting and print it on a plate or picture.Replace something they lost- if they lost their favorite shirt/scarf etc. try to track it down.Personalized Drink Coasters with family photo or their favorite city's mapMonogrammed anything (for the gals that are into that)Homemade cookies that are a family recipe."Pass Down" a family heirloom if you're not using it and know a son or younger sibling that would enjoy it.Backrub "coupons" are always welcome from an SO, but are better combined with something else, and not just a piece of sharpied paper. Massage oil and a heated mattress pad are nice additions.Quilt made from loved one's tee shirts(deceased or have outgrown them)-Have a local seamstress make a quilt if tees aren't being used anymore.When in doubt, type something they like into Etsy. I can't believe the cool stuff I've found just by typing "Harry Potter" or "Jurassic Park" into there!What are you buying your people for Christmas? via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/a1oqlz/are_you_stumped_on_gift_ideas/?utm_source=ifttt
