The Christmas gift guide


Don’t you want to find that perfect Christmas gift, the one that makes eyes sparkle and puts a big smile on the face? The ideal Christmas gift expresses how much you love, respects, appreciate and understands the people in your life- your family, your office colleagues or simply a great client. Even if the perfect Christmas gift is hard to accomplish, the variety of options and ideas are overwhelming. To help you through some difficult decisions here a quick guide for Christmas gift shopping.

Christmas gift for the boyfriend/husband

So he says “I don’t need a gift, I love you anyway”. Well, that might be true, but he will certainly be happier if you got him a Christmas gift. The startup would be “What he wishes for?”. For the obvious reasons we will discard an Aston Martin or a yacht and don’t even think of a Christmas card, men are totally indifferent to those. The key idea for the ideal Christmas gift for your special man is to see what his hobbies are. Does he fish, play pool, golf, football? Still, you might want to go deeper with your research, because if, for example, he’s a football fan, find out what his favorite team is, in order to avoid a fiasco.

Still in the dark? Let’s see this from another point of view: what things men would never like as a Christmas gift? Number one is clothing. You will certainly want to avoid arguments like “You never wear that shirt I got for you on Christmas!-How could I?! It’s candy pink”. Still, you could go with men accessories, like shirt buttons. The perfect gift: the sensational watches box.

Christmas gift for the girlfriend/wife

Generally for women the options are many. Perfumes, make up, jewelry, clothes-but mind the measures, because a bigger measure will make her think you see her fat and a smaller one will make her think you wished she were skinnier. So be careful with that, women are so sensible about this aspect. Also, intimate lingerie will be a risky choice- the cup size must be perfect, plus the color and the sexy garments are risky business for men to get it right. Even if you still manage to get her a perfect lingerie gift, she will be impressed, but she will also wonder how come you know so much about intimate women lingerie. There are some gifts that you should never think of, even if she implied she wished for: fitness subscription, esthetical operations and anti-aging products. These are like plain affronts for ladies. The perfect gift: a fancy perfume or a luxury trip just for the two of them.

Christmas gift for the boss

The main problem with the boss’s Christmas gift is that if don’t take him/her anything he will remember that and will make your next year hell. The main aspects to consider in the case of “Christmas gift for boss” are the size and the value. If you can team up with your colleagues, then an expensive gift would be indicated. Also keep away from the personal gifts, like perfumes or clothing or “best boss” coffee cup. The decorative items are perfect for boss’s Christmas gift, for example a wine bottle in a vintage wooden box or an office golf set. The key factor is the wrapper-go with something classy and shinny.
