It is that time of the year when pure joy can be felt through the air. Christmas trees are decorated and you finally have an excuse to watch that Christmas movie or listen to your favorite Christmas songs.
This time of year is also well known as the excuse to be spoiled rotten by your family members with love and gifts. I know that not all families celebrate this time of the year the same way, but almost everyone enjoys it with the same joy almost all families do. If you're like me, you’ve finally gotten to the age where you earn money and know the secrets behind this memorable holiday.
And knowing these secrets includes a terrible fate. Gift giving. Most of us are used to receiving gifts for Christmas. That new Xbox, those new sneakers, etc. But now we don’t receive those splendid gifts. We get simple things like socks or books which I’m happy with on my part. But aside from that, we have to give gifts to our parents, siblings and any other family member or friend. You would think this is not such a horrible thing, and truly it’s not because you get to see the beautiful smile of those people when they get their gifts. The only issue is how we get that smile.
It sounds simple on paper. Get them this big extraordinary gift and you are off on the joy and smiles road. But there is only one problem with that. We are kids. How do we even get that money to buy these fabulous gifts? Because frankly on my part I’m pretty much broke. But over the years I’ve managed to get my loved ones the gifts they deserve even with my little amount of money. And I’m here to show you how to find that perfect gift.
To find this perfect gift you have to follow these steps to the letter:
What is that person like: In my judgment, you must really care about this person if you are willing to read this article and take your time on getting them a nice present for Christmas. So what are they like? When you answer this question think of the following things:
Do they like big or small things?
Are they more of a materialistic person?
Do they enjoy quality time?
What are their hobbies?
Do they like minimalism?
Is there something they’ve talked about wanting for a long time?
What is your budget?: You are probably not going to only give one person a gift this year, so you will have to distribute the money among all your significant others.
Example:
Mom = 500 pesos
Boyfriend = 350 pesos
Dad = 500
Brother = 400
How are you going to proceed?: What is your plan of action? You know all about that person and you know how much money you have to spare. The next step is to use this information. People tend to love to get handmade gifts. They love the idea that you loved them enough to put work into a gift for them. So you could make the box you are going to wrap their present in or a little message for them to read before getting their gift. Here are some ideas I found off TikTok and Pinterest for these gifts.
Their gift: By this point, you should have surely gotten your significant other their Christmas gift and if you haven’t there is a bonus list of material basic gift ideas for them. But if you are like me this year you would have gone for a more sentimental gift. These are some ideas of how to tell them how much you care for your loved ones (And yes these are all handmade):
