7 Best Christmas Gifts for Family and Friends

Giving Christmas gifts every year around Christmas is a time honoured tradition that has, with globalization, spread all over the world and is not limited to Christians alone. With the advent of online gifting, you can send Christmas gifts online if you are not there to give a gift in person. Here we look at the seven best Christmas gifts for family and friends. 

1. Tree- What is Christmas without a Christmas tree? It is an especially exciting Christmas gift for kids. These trees are made out of fine plastic and come folded. They can be easily assembled with a standing base and opened to form branches. These trees come in different sizes, starting from 1 foot and going up to 5 feet. 
2. Cakes- A quintessential part of Christmas are the cakes. Traditionally you have the rich plum cake, and the Dundee cake, but there are other options for Christmas cakes too. You can go for a Christmas photo cake with a picture of Santa Claus, or a Christmas snowman cake or any other cake with a Christmas theme. Alternatively, you can send conventional cakes as Christmas gifts for family, like a black forest cake that says “Merry Christmas”, or a Christmas pineapple cake, a chocolate cake, a premium fruit cake, and so on. Choose same day delivery or midnight delivery so that the recipient of a Christmas cake can enjoy it fresh.
3. Chocolates and Cookies with greeting card- Christmas is a time for sweets and savouries. Send Christmas gifts online that will appeal to your family members’ sweet tooth. Opt for bouquets, baskets, and hampers of assorted yummy chocolates that will be sure to lift anyone’s mood. You can also go for boxes of biscuits and cookies and other edible treats. These are ideal Christmas gifts for family.
4. Flowers- A basic flower bouquet with a greeting card can mean a lot as a Christmas gift for friends. Spread the festive good wishes with Christmas flowers- roses, lilies, carnations, gerberas, or a bunch of exotic flowers in bouquets or arrangements would touch the heart of the friend you send them to. Choose same day delivery or midnight delivery to make sure the flowers are fresh and fragrant when they reach the recipient. 
5. Soft Toys- Cuddly plush toys are always loved by kids. For Christmas gifts for kids, you can opt for a cute teddy bear. They come in various sizes and colours and are guaranteed to bring a sparkle to any child’s eye. You can also choose soft toys that represent a child’s favourite cartoon character- for example, Winnie the Pooh, Tweety, Micky Mouse- or just a soft ball or a smiley. But then, because it is Christmas, the best soft toy to give would be a fluffy Santa Claus.  
6. Articles for daily use and home decor-

Daily use articles, for example, a Christmas coffee mug, a Christmas beer mug, Christmas coasters- can make for thoughtful Christmas gifts for friends. Home decor items like reindeer tealight holder, Christmas cushions, wall hangings and name plates in Christmas themes, stone tiles and even designer candles are good ideas for Christmas gifts for family. Christmas special LED cushions can be personalised with special photos of family members. You also have customised gifts like the Christmas tree photo stand- the tree has a base on which it can rotate and there are places for pictures where you can keep precious family photos.

7. Combos- Christmas gifts can also come in combos. An ideal Christmas gift for kids would be a combo of a Christmas tree and a bottle, or a cute Santa with a bottle. If you opt for a tree with a coffee mug or a Santa with a mug, you have a great Christmas gift for friends. Other combos you can choose from include a Christmas tree with a Santa cap or a Christmas stocking, a tree with a flower bouquet, flowers and soft toys, flowers and cakes, cakes and chocolates, Santa cap and chocolates, and so on.
