Gift Giving Ideas! | ConfettiStyle

It’s official…the holiday shopping season is here! As someone who shops (practices retail therapy), and has spent endless hours looking for that perfect gift, I wanted to share a few of my gift ideas with you. These gift ideas will really come in handy when you have some hard-to-buy for people on your list. I have used these gift ideas when shopping for my brother, “the techie”, or my darling husband, “the whatever guy”, and have seen some pretty big smiles on their faces.

FAVORITE THINGS GIFT

As one of Oprah’s all-time fans, I took her favorite things ideas and purchased a selection of small gifts, all “favorite things” of the gift recipient. My husband loves to play tennis, so one year I got him gifts that were all tennis related. I wrapped everything and placed all the gifts in a tennis racket case. The gift tag simply said, “Geno’s Favorite Things.”

GIFT CARD GLEE

Last year, when I really wanted to watch my pennies, but still wanted unique gifts for my family, I purchased a selection of gift cards for everyone on my list. Most of the gift cards were $5.00 or $10.00, and all were from stores I knew they loved to shop. I placed all the gift cards in burlap stockings that I handmade.

TOWER OF POWER

I love to give gifts that have a theme to them and place the items in a tower of boxes. One year, I gave a friend a “dress-to-impress” gift. One box contained a necklace, another box contained a pair of earrings, and a third box contained a bracelet. I made the jewelry myself so that was an added little gift.

A PERSONAL TOUCH

I love personalized items, and this year, I plan to give gifts that are all personalized. For the men on my list, I plan to have wallets embossed with an initial. Other personalized items I’m looking at are monogrammed throw blankets and embroidered initial pillows. I really like gifting with personalized items because there are so many options to choose from. And, I plan to even personalized my gift wrap.
