When it comes to gift-giving, there’s no limit to the unique ways you can express your love and appreciation for a special person in your life. The difficulty actually comes in just how many options you have!
It can be helpful to choose gifts based on a particular hobby, style, location or season. For instance, your friend who lives near the ocean might enjoy new swim gear, beach toys, or equipment to participate in their favorite water sports.
But what about your friend who can’t get enough of the chilly winter months? We all know someone who redecorates their entire home with winter decor the second they feel a single moment of chill in the air. We also know someone who dreads the coldness of winter and just wants to get through it as comfortably as possible.
Whichever category your loved one falls into, finding the perfect gift to help them enjoy the winter weather is a fun and easy idea that you can offer them year-round. From cute tea gift sets to cozy blankets and scarves to a collection of games for those snowy nights in, there are a lot of different directions you can go with your winter-themed gift. Here are just a few great ideas:
A Set of Cozy Candles
Some people wait all year long to finally go shopping for those sweet seasonal candles that only come on the market during the fall and winter months. Maple, vanilla, cinnamon, pine, pumpkin…it’s hard to not fall in love with a great winter candle.
If your friend or loved one is obsessed with making their space as cozy as possible during the chilly months, a set of seasonal candles could be the perfect gift for them. Opt for a wide variety that they can place in various rooms of their home or office. Maybe one candle smells just like a warm pie coming out of the oven while another creates a warm, earthy aura.
A Weighted Blanket
For some people, the fall and winter months are inherently the coziest of all – even though it’s cold outside, the opportunity to create a warm atmosphere indoors is exciting and unbeatable. For others, however, the winter months are some of the most stressful of all. With everyone getting wrapped up in the chaos of the holidays, it can be comforting to know that at the end of a long day, there’s a warm, cozy bed waiting for you.
A weighted blanket takes care of both the dreaded holiday anxiety and the unavoidable nighttime chill. It’s specially designed to offer a layer of weight that provides comfort and ease on top of adding exceptional warmth.
A Tea Gift Set
Sometimes, there’s nothing better than curling up at the end of a long, chilly winter day with a piping hot cup of tea and a fun book or puzzle. Surprise your tea-loving friend with a gift set full of tasty loose leaf teas that they can sip on in the morning or at night. Go big by getting them an array of different flavors that will match any mood – a warm earl gray for the morning, for instance, or a floral lavender for bedtime.
The Gift Of Learning
A lot of people take time off of work during the winter months, so it’s the perfect time to engage in a favorite hobby or learn something new. If you’re looking for a unique gift idea, consider giving your loved one a gift card to do their favorite activity or a virtual class where they can learn how to cook, write, draw or anything their heart desires.
This is an especially thoughtful idea considering how hectic and expensive the holiday season can get. In a season that can often feel like it’s all about spending and giving, it’s important to allow your friends the opportunity to pour back into themselves and do something that will help them feel calm, confident and happy.
Cozy Clothes
Who doesn’t love coming home from a chilly day running errands and immediately changing into a set of cozy pajamas and socks? During the winter months (especially if your loved one lives in an exceptionally cold state or country), there can never be enough soft and cozy things around the house. Cashmere and wool are popular cold weather fabrics that will keep your loved one comfortable and relaxed as they finish baking that holiday dessert, wrap up their online gift shopping or simply curl up in bed with their favorite drink.
Ultimately, coziness is the name of the game when it comes to shopping for gifts that are perfect for winter months. No matter where your loved one lives or how they feel about the chill of winter, your cozy, thoughtful gift is sure to make every day a little bit warmer and sweeter.
