It’s time to get your thinking caps as the weeks leading up to Christmas are going to fly bye. To give you a helping hand, we have some awesome Christmas gift ideas for the whole family. Because we know how hard some people are to buy for!
From mum’s to toddlers, here are some Christmas gift ideas that we know they will love.
For the Mums
Pamper her
All mums love to be pampered, so get her a massage from that fancy place, or maybe a float? If you want to step it up, buy her a nail polish, face mask, robe and a bottle of bubbles and set aside an afternoon and pamper her yourself with a personal at home spa day.
Picture this!
We are pretty sure no one enjoys family portraits apart from mums, but gosh don’t they love them! Get a large frame and set your family portrait voucher inside (to be replaced by the portrait). Then all you need to do is decide on your matching outfits, and SMILE!
Make her sparkle
All mums love a special piece of jewellery that reminds them of their nearest and dearest, what a perfect gift for mum this Christmas. If you are not sure what she would like, head down to your local jeweler and show them some photos of your mum. They will be able to suggest something based on her style at price that suits.
Gift ideas for Dad (notoriously hard to buy for)
Tee-time
Most dads love to get out on the golf course every now and then so why not book him a tee time or a lesson to improve his game. A day out for dad will surely make him smile on Christmas.
Handy Christmas gift ideas
Is your dad a mister fix-it or one of those dads who start a lot of jobs that never get finished? Either way, an electric screwdriver is a great Christmas gift ideas for dad. They range in price from $35NZD to $100NZD for an electric screwdriver that has adjustable torque and comes with a few driver bits.
Get him trolley-ed
For sporting dads, beach dads and gardening dads, a beach trolley is the way to go. Perfect to load up with all the gear for the kids or fishing to lug down the road or across the sporting fields. Some can hold up to 100kg and even have a handy umbrella holder!
Pressies for the Kiddies
Slip Slop Slap
New Zealand sun is harsh, and we all want to keep our kids safe in the sun. This Christmas gift idea is a win win, and its simple! Hat, sunnies and zinc sticks! Kids of all ages love a new hat, get them something they think is cool and it won’t be coming off their head without a fight. And yes, zinc is cool again. Get some fun coloured sticks and pop it on top of their sunblock, they will love it.
Classic Christmas gift ideas
It may not be the most exciting present to unwrap on Christmas morning but it will be something that will occupy their time for weeks to come. A good book will help kids unwind and give them that much needed quiet time.
Water water everywhere
What kid does not love water? Cool down on those hot summer days with a kiwi classic, the sprinkler. You can get a range of kid specific sprinklers (even ones for pets). From sprinkler mats, trampoline sprinklers and arch sprinklers, they are all great fun and will be treasured gifts this Christmas.
