Unique and Practical Gifts this Holiday Season 2022

Let’s all admit it: as time goes on, finding and preparing gifts for the holiday season is getting more challenging. It may be because of the trends or the relationship that you have with the person for whom you’re preparing your gift.

Although gifting is not really necessary, preparing one, especially for special occasions, is a good thing to consider. Now that the holiday season is quickly approaching and you're in the midst of holiday gift shopping, this article will provide you with gift ideas that are 100% usable (and consumable!).

We’ve picked eight items that are worth considering and are practical for your gift-giving this year.

1. Food

As the saying goes, the stomach is the key to the heart. Also, nothing beats delicious food once it’s placed on the table! The good thing about food is that you’ll have a lot of options to choose from. Some interesting food gift choices include fruits, pasta, or even pastries. If you enjoy baking and cooking, this is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your abilities! Try cooking an easy chicken dish or baking holiday-themed cookies!

2. Clothes

Similar to food, you have a lot of choices to choose from: jeans, shirts, dresses, hoodies, and more. However, picking out clothes as gifts can be tricky, as they may duplicate or not match the fashion style of the recipient. Going this route may require you to be more creative and resourceful, such as by looking for limited-edition pieces or customising a shirt design.

3. Insulated Tumbler

A sweet gift to keep your loved ones hydrated at all times! Insulated tumblers are in demand right now due to their unique feature of keeping one’s drink cold or hot for a long period of time. Apart from that, tumblers promote sustainability as they lessen the consumption of single-use plastic bottles. A popular brand Tyeso offers affordable yet durable tumblers.

4. Bed Sheets/Blankets

Bed sheets or blankets may not be one of the top choices as gifts every holiday, but it’s a practical gift to consider! There are always a variety of designs and colours to choose from. It doubles as a unique and practical gift too, as people always use bedsheets and blankets every single night. Just a little note though: when gifting bed sheets, make sure you are buying the correct size if it is for a king, queen, twin, or single-sized bed! Otherwise, comfortable blankets are the perfect alternative.

5. Make-up or a skin care product

The perfect gift for your loved ones who prioritise their skin above all else. Lipstick, eyeshadow palettes, moisturisers, and even perfumes are some of the most common gifts to consider. Some people may take it as an offensive gesture, but beauty gurus and skin lovers will surely appreciate this! This one can be tricky, though, because you need to make sure the gift you're considering is appropriate for their tastes and will work once they put it on!

6. Video or music streaming codes

For your friends who are binge-watchers or music lovers, this gift is something they will surely appreciate! Although they can technically pay for this service, receiving it as a gift can help them save a few months’ worth of subscriptions! Seagm offers digital codes for major platforms such as Netflix, iFlix, and Spotify.

7. Film Camera

For your friends who are binge-watchers or music lovers, this gift is something they will surely appreciate! Although they can technically pay for this service, receiving it as a gift can help them save a few months’ worth of subscriptions! Seagm offers digital codes for major platforms such as Netflix, iFlix, and Spotify.

8. Product subscription services

A unique gift to give to a loved one who loves to receive something new at all times. Similar to video or music streaming codes, product subscription services work the same way; the only difference is that a product is delivered to their doorstep every month. Some of the most common items offered here are snack boxes, books, and even a perfume subscription similar to what we offer.
