7 simply and quick gift ideas

If you have had a bad year or time simply got away from you the holidays are quickly approaching. We all have that one person that is hard to get something for, that is impossible to shop for. I also end up with that last person that I have no idea what to get for them. So here are some easy ideas in case you need a last minute gift idea.

1. Gift card

I am a person that likes to give actual gifts and not gift cards. However if you know someone that is struggling; such as a single parent or someone that was recently laid off this year; than this could be the best gift to get for someone. Even if it's to somewhere simple like a grocery store or drug store. It could be the best thing that they get so that they don't have a bunch of stuff around they aren't going to use. It could be the thing that really helps them the most.

2. Food subscription box

There are many subscription boxes out there now a days. This gift would be perfect for a young couple who just got married or a young person just moved out on their own. There are some companies that do a meat subscription. Most have a gift box this time of year which will have local and organic meat. Companies like Trulocal in Canada and Butcher box in the US. And it supports local farmers as well. For the snack or travel lovers you can get a snack box from places around the world. Places like Snack Crate, which has snacks from different countries around the world.

3. Snacks and Candy

It's not only children who love candy. Especially if you need something last minute. You can get it at the grocery store or a drug store. Just get some snacks and candy that you know they will like. If you know that they love spicy things than get hot candy and different hot sauces. It's like making your own subscription box.

4. Bath and body care

We all need bath and body products. We all get soap, hair care and other items. You can make a great gift basket out of normal items. I know that for me the one thing I like the most is my stocking. My stocking which has normal items that I would need to get any ways. Items like toothpaste, soap and body lotion. Again if you know someone that is struggling, it can be a great gift that will also help the person out.

5. Pay for an experience

There are two ways that you can do this. Either get a gift card from a specific place that you know the person will love to do. Like if they love to cook pay for a cooking class. You could also do a gift card so they can do to the movies. Or there are these gift cards you can purchase at most pharmacies. These have a list of places that the person can choose to go. Experiences like going to do pottery or a cooking class. Especially if they don't want more unwanted stuff this is a great gift that can bring a lot to their lives.

6. At home nail set

We are all trying to stay home now a days. If you know any girl that loves to have her nails done but has been unable to do so due to the pandemic a great started set is a great gift. You can come some from most large box store like Walmart or Amazon also has many. You can get a set for gel nails that usually comes with some tools, light, base coat, top coat and some colors. You can usually get one for about $40.

7. Make them something

If you are a good baker than you could go all out and bake them something. There are also the cocoa bombs that are all over the internet that you could make that are actually very easy to do and make very simply gifts. You could also do something simply like put together all the ingredients with the recipe so that they can make them. There are a lot recipes out there for putting the ingredients in a mason jar with the recipe tied to it. It makes the cutest and most simply gift that you can get. Especially if you need something quickly.

Sometimes the best gifts don't need to cost a lot. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to see what could mean the most to them.
