Top 5 Christmas Gifts and Best Gift Ideas
XMAS CHALLENGEChristmas Guide - Day 20: A New Take on the Top 5 Favourite Gifts
It's starting to get colder outside, which means—Christmas is just around the corner. Christmas markets open the doors, cities are illuminated with winter lights. We are half way through our Christmas Guide and it wouldn't be complete without the top 5 favourite gifts of all times, don't you think? So we came up with a plan and here is our take on the Top 5 Christmas Gifts.
NUMBER 1 - GIFT VOUCHERS / MONEY
Money or a gift voucher can be a great idea, especially if you make it truly magical for someone in need and collect some good karma points on the way. Have a look at our top charity gifts that give friends and relatives gifts with a meaning.
NUMBER 2 - BOOK / DVD
Parenting in the digital age can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. E-Books and E-readers can make a great gift and learning tool or simply be the coolest way to read the new digital edition of Vogue magazine. With the recent launch of its recent iPad mini, Apple raised the bar once again. The all-new sleek version with better screen display and unbeatable price is a superb Christmas surprise, starting at €329.
NUMBER 3 - SOCKS / TIE
Every once in a while, vintage styles can become trends of tomorrow and fashion can surpise and inspire and certain accessoires be resurrected out of the blue. Ditch socks and tie this year and opt for the mega trendy version—high quality suspenders (see cover image).
NUMBER 4 - GIFTS FOR KIDS
Finding original and unique gifts for kids can be a tough task. From most-wanted technology toys to DIY nostalgic options, there is so much to choose from. Have a look at this great little find by Montagskind - a gorgeous hand painted wooden box to fill with little treasures and sweet memories for a little one (or their new parents).
NUMBER 5 - SWEETS, WINE & CHAMPAGNE
No matter if it's for your colleague or family on the other side of the globe, delicious treats or gourmet wines are always a top runner on every christmas wish list.
While you may think of buying some favourites from your local chocolate store, we're set on handmade treasures this year, just think DIY gift cards and original DIY gifts. This homemade chocolate recipe is our top favourite self-made gift for Christmas.
