JEFF’S GIFT GIVING GUIDE 2021
Do you get stressed about finding the perfect gift for your loved ones? Are you having trouble finding a gift for someone that doesn’t need anything? Do you push off shopping until the last minute only to find that all the good stuff is sold out? Or maybe, just maybe, you are the person who finished your holiday shopping back in October. For you early shoppers, this isn’t the blog post for you. But for the rest of you, with only fifteen shopping days until Christmas left, maybe you could use a little help with the gift giving ideas.
After scouring the internet for the best gift ideas of 2021 and considering some of the items that my wife, kids, and I enjoy, I compiled a list of gifts, at a range of prices, that I hope will help you with your holiday shopping. Here is my list…
GIFTS FOR HER:
Temperature Control Mug:
For those who don’t like cold coffee or tea, this is the perfect gift! This mug will keep your beverage warm while you take your time sipping as you please.
Silk Pillow Cases and/or Sheets:
The smooth luxurious feel of silk is the perfect choice for the bedroom. It also helps with hair, skin, temperature, and is hypoallergenic.
Wine Chiller Stick (and of course wine too):
Keep your bottle of wine cold without putting it on ice, and make it easy to pour too!
Shop local: Ridgewood Winery, Manatawny Creek Winery, Adello Winery
Weighted Blanket:
The weighted blanket hugs your body and is said to comfort you, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality. The blankets come in a veriety of colors and styles.
Air Fryer:
Fry your foods with speed and acuracy without using messy, high fat, oil. My wife loves hers!
Hydro Flask:
An insulated water bottle for on the go!
Wireless Earbuds:
Listen to your music while at the gym, on the street or even, umm, at work, without those annoying wires.
Personalized Jewelry:
Make her feel special with jewelry that has a personal touch. Have a necklace, bracelet, or ring engraved with her name, initials, or a special message.
Essential Oil Diffuser:
Give your home or space a calming aroma with natural essential oils. Choose a veriaty of scents and wellness effects.
Shop local: Amanda Witherow
Fitbit:
Track your health, sleep, answer your text messages, and more, all from your wrist.
GIFTS FOR HIM:
Charging Dock:
One place to charge all of your devices wirelessly.
Step-In Slippers:
Give your feet a break and step in to comfort with some cozy step-ins.
Locally Distilled Whiskey and/0r Accessories:
If the man on your list loves whiskey, give him a locally distilled bottle with glasses and whiskey stones. You can’t go wrong with some good local booze.
Shop local: Manatawny Still Works, Reading Distiling Guild
Bluetooth Speaker:
Listen to your music or podcasts with high quality sound anywhere, even in the middle of the woods. I personally love this and use it all the time.
Swiss Army Knife:
What man doesn’t love an all-in-one knife, tool kit, and survival kit? You can even get his name engraved on it!
Hammock:
Find two trees and relax the day away…
Custom Vinyl Art:
This is perfect for any music lover, record colector, or man cave!
Shop local: Astro Vinyl Art
Camp Stove:
Theres nothing like waking up on a crisp morning out in the woods and cooking some yummy pancake and eggs.
Massage Gun:
Take care of soar and tight muscles with a deep tissue massage gun.
Bacon (need I say more?):
Shop local: S.O.B. Bacon
GIFTS FOR THE KIDS:
Board Games:
It is the classic family fun pastime… game time! Go with the classics that you grew up with or try some of the new games. Either way, you are bound to have fun.
Video Camera or Camera:
Children can creat their own cool HD videos with a built in microphone, animated backgrounds, and tripod.
Arts & Crafts Supplies:
Let your kids express their artistic side with a box full of fun art supplies.
Karaoke Machine:
Have fun with your family and friends singing along to your favorite songs.
LEGO, K’NEX, Magna Tile, etc:
Any building or creator sets are always a big hit for the kids.
Indoor Fort:
A fort in the house can give your child a great place for him or her to play pretend.
Kids Fitbit:
The kids will have fun tracking their steps and activities and, of course, they will be able to keep track of time as well.
Science Kit:
Put on your gloves, make sure your saftey glasses are on, and watch what your mixing in those beakers, or else… kaboom! Science = fun.
Electric Scooter:
Take the scooter to the next level by powering it up! My son loves his and rides it all the time.
Pillow Bed:
Who wants to lay on a hard floor? These pillow beds allow you to bring your comfort with you anywhere.
Kids Makup Kit:
If you have a girl that likes putting on makeup like mom or likes to play princess, this is perfect. The best part is it is washable too.
Nerf Style Bow & Arrow Set:
This is a fun bow and arrow set that shoots far and is safe. My son and daughter both love this toy.
Shaved Ice/Snow Cone Maker:
I mean who doesn’t love Hawaiian shaved ice? You can make it in your own home with this kid friendly machine. Moms and Dads will love it too.
Well, there are my picks. I hope it helps to make your holiday shopping a little easier. Merry Christmas!
