GIFT GUIDE: Christmas gift ideas for the picky people in your life

Christmas is one of the most exciting times of the year, but shopping for the picky folks on your gift list can be a challenge. You go to different malls and check out online shops, only to end up empty-handed and realize how difficult they are to buy for.

While their standards are high, we love them anyway and the last thing we want to do is disappoint them. If you’re now on the hunt for presents for your “hard-to-shop-for” loved ones, look no further. Here’s a list of foolproof gift ideas that are perfect even for the choosiest—but also the most fun—gift recipients in your life.

Luggage tag

A luggage tag does not only make for a nice travel accessory—it could also help them find their suitcase at the airport with ease. If you want your loved one to feel extra special, you can even opt to customize it and have their nickname or initials monogrammed or engraved. 

Power bank

Why not get them something that they would need every day? For your choosy friend who is always on-the-go, give them a nice power bank that they can use when they’re out and about. They’d love it for its convenience and portability, too.

Journal

Your picky loved one might also appreciate a journal that they can carry with them wherever they go. They can rely on it when they have to jot down their ideas as they come and take note of things they need to remember for the day.

Cozy blanket

Nothing could make them feel literally wrapped in love than a nice, cozy blanket. This versatile item could keep them warm during afternoon naps, chilly nights, binge-watch weekends, and more. They can even use it for summer trips and lovely picnics with their nearest and dearest.

Gift of choice

If you’re still unsure about their preferences with the items mentioned above but want to make them the happiest, giving them the gift of choice could be your best bet. You can’t go wrong with letting them pick their own present as you’re certain that they would be happy with what they would have. Talk about a gift-giving win.
