Buying Christmas presents can be a little bit of a challenge. We all have a friend or family member who has everything, or perhaps we are not in regular, close contact which can make things rather difficult when it comes time for you to do your Christmas Shopping. So many people and personalities to consider, where do you even start? Well, we will try to come to your rescue, in this article we review this year’s hottest gifts!
Gifts for Boys
Boys have a love of dinosaurs which seems to span from one generation to the next. This year the Jurassic World Real FX Baby Blue is the hot, Dinotastic toy. This 57cm high dinosaur has its own pistol grip remote control and literally comes to life in your hands with over 40 actions and sound effects. This really takes dinosaur toys to the next level.
Remote control cars are ever popular and that is the same this year and one of the very hottest out there is the RC Batman Gotham City Racer. This nearly 50cm long super hero car has real rubber tyres with LED lights a really cool remote control and can zip around at speeds of up to 30km/h. Perhaps a little fast for indoors, but perfect for outdoor play.
Gifts for Girls
Girls often have a wonderfully creative side and this year, to foster that creativity, why not gift these neon glow art pads. With 36 light effects, 4 fluorescent pens your budding artist can draw whatever she wants either freestyle or even trace from a pattern through the see-through screen.
Tamagotchis have been popular for the longest time, but this year there is a new one in town. The Tamagotchi pix virtual pet has all the great features of previous iterations, but this year, the added camera allows the pet owner to take selfies with her pet. Devices can also be connected to each other for even more fun.
Gifts for babies and toddlers
Ideal for toddlers who are still a little shaky on their feet, this push along Jurassic world Pic and Push T.rex playset is perfect. The colourful “rocks” make a great sound in the gyrosphere, when taken out your toddler can walk the toy over the rocks and magically collect them. Perfect for balance and coordination.
For those boogie loving babies, this Fisher Price DJ Bouncing Beats toy is exactly what the doctor ordered. When your little one presses the buttons, this interactive dance partner bounces to life with colourful lights, motorised spring action, and 75+ songs, sounds, and phrases that teach the alphabet, counting, colours, and more. This is the perfect gift to aid learning and co-ordination, dad dancing optional!
Gifts for Him
Although beards are pretty popular these days, not every man can stand the face itch. Saying that, not every chap is fond of wet shaving or even the traditional electric shaver, so there is a conundrum. Step up the Philips OneBlade Pro. This modern hybrid electric/wet shaver does it all with one blade. Not only can he shave his face nice and closely, he can also trim his beard, edge his sideburns and carry out any other personal grooming he wants. One blade does it all!
There aren’t too many men who don’t like popping down to the local for a pint or two. What, though, if he could have that fresh-from-the-tap pint at home? With a capacity of 2L (nearly 4 pints) the Krups SUB Compact is the perfect gift. Throw in a 2L keg of his favourite brew and he will be a happy man. What more could he want than the perfectly chilled pint with that pub poured head on it.
Gifts for Her
Travel can always be a problem for the lady in your life. She has a very rigid beauty regime, but she can’t take all her beauty products away for a romantic weekend. Well this is where luxury brand Elemis have stepped in with their Collector’s edition travel set. With 6 advanced formulas the set includes everything that is needed to keep skin looking healthy and vibrant from head to toe.
Earrings are a winner every time and Thomas Sabo have really nailed it this year with their simply exquisite Pearl with winter sun rays earrings. These pearl earrings are elegant, stylish and a little quirky with one earring being a simple pearl design with zirconia stones and the other boasting delicate engravings and radiant 3-D elements. We love the mix and match styling and these earrings will add grace to any outfit.
Gifts for Couples to Share
It can often be hard to organise date nights and quite often that means couples resort to staying at home watching the TV. Save them from themselves with this personalised gift set with 52 date night ideas such as role playing being strangers in a bar and meeting again for the first time or cooking each other their favourite meal. One idea per week will keep the spark alive.
For a little fun, why not treat that special couple in your life to personalised face cushions? We particularly liked these true to life caricature cushions, add their name and you have the perfect personalised couple’s gift.
Gifts for the person who has everything
We all know that one person who simply gets what they want as and when they want it, making it impossible at Christmas as they literally have everything they want or need. So, the only thing is to get something a little out of the ordinary.
We found this awesome prosecco experience with a difference. OK, OK, it’s not a prosecco experience, but it does have prosecco with it. It’s actually a Terrarium workshop where participants get to design and make their very own Terrarium, which can be taken home, whilst sipping a Prosecco with a friend. For someone who has everything, this would be a sure-fire hit.
Quite often, when we take photos these days, they just sit on our phones. Well, this can now be remedied. This Instax mini link2 portable instant photo printer is brilliant. It is totally portable so pictures can be printed on the go direct from mobile phones, pictures can also be printed from Facebook or Instagram. The perfect gift for a mini influencer! We bet, even your friend who has everything, doesn’t have this.
We hope we have helped to give you some inspiration this Christmas. No matter what you decide to buy them, we are sure they will appreciate the effort and thought that has gone into your gift. Have a very Merry Christmas!
