Gifts are some of life’s biggest joys and this coming holiday season, more people around the world will be giving and receiving gifts. A whopping 85% of online retailers believe that online sales will increase by Christmastime this year as their previous numbers from the past few months have surpassed records. July, August, and September 2020 saw the highest gift search numbers and it is estimated that the trillions of dollars worth of holiday spending that happened in 2019 will be surpassed by this year’s holiday celebrations. No matter what the cost, however, one thing remains to be seen – whether you will be a better gift-giver than Santa this year or if you will stick to the same old gifts that you’ve been accustomed to giving.
Gifts For Couples Who Have Everything
Everyone knows that one couple who has everything – a stable relationship, a beautiful home, and plenty of awesome adventurous photos. This is all well and good until Christmastime comes when you need to find them a gift. The good news is, science is lending guidance on this particular conundrum to help you find the ideal gift for your favorite couple that will not only make them happy but will strengthen your friendship with them as well. A recent study found that giving gifts that recipients will love does not depend on the price tag but how practical it is. If your friends love to cook, for example, you can give them a new pan and a set of plates. Researchers add that picking a gift that also offers longer-term satisfaction is also a wonderful idea. You can tick this box by getting your friends a fun and sexy board game or something as simple as a journal for all their memories and adventures.
Presents For Family Members
Deciding what gift to give to your loved ones can be quite the challenge but this should be easier than getting a gift for your friends because you know your family members better than anyone. If your mom loves jewelry, for example, it would be nice to surprise her with a beautiful piece of jewelry this Christmas. For your dad, you can get him something that he will enjoy for many years to come. It can be a new fishing rod or new tools or even a brand new gadget if he is into technology. Whether you are shopping for your mom or dad or for your wife and kids, it is important to remember that you get what they truly want or need.
Forget About the ‘Wow’ Factor
Experts from UCLA Berkeley say that givers tend to purchase gifts that elicit the “wow” response instead of focusing on the receiver’s wish list or finding out what they truly need or want. You will have to do a bit of research to get your Christmas list straightened out if you want to give a gift that the recipient will appreciate for years to come. Science also found that gifts do not need to be something that fits inside a box, it can be an experience too such as a lunch on Christmas day or a day at an amusement park.
Love, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness are the main ingredients for you to become a better gift-giver than Santa Claus himself. Make Christmas 2020 by buying the right gift for your loved ones, friends, and everyone you want to give a gift to during the holidays.
