For Her
1. Makeup Vanity Mirror
This is a great gift for your special someone, mom, girlfriend, or daughter. This makeup vanity mirror is super cute.
My dad got this for me for college and I love it to bits!
I do my skincare, do my hairstyles, and freshen up all in front of this mini mirror.
You can get a less fancy one without lights-but the lights make you feel like a princess haha!
I also recommend getting one with a little base on the bottom to place small essentials.
You can throw earrings, lip products, and hair ties in that mini tray and not worry about losing it.
This is one of my top recommendations as a gift if there’s limited space or there are no mirrors.
2. Fluffy Slippers
Who doesn’t love fluffy slippers?
I just know everyone in my family loves fluffy slippers.
These come in a variety of colors, but I recommend getting darker colors so you won’t notice it as much if it gets dirty.
I feel like I never have enough slippers in the house even though I have like three pairs.
This is also a nice dorm gift since I hate walking barefoot on the college floor.
You never know who was there before and what is on those floors.
Fluffy slippers are also a great gift for mom. Show them some warmth!
Make sure to buy ones that are sturdy and have many good reviews.
I had bad experiences with a pair before and the fuzzy kept falling off-so be careful!
3. K-Mini Keurig/Mini Coffee Maker
If your special someone loves caffeine, then this K-Mini Keurig is perfect!
I love the colors it comes with, and it’s so tiny!
Tiny = Cute. There’s just something with anything that’s labeled mini or tiny that it becomes cuter 10 times more.
If you are unsure if they use k-cups for coffee then opt for this coffee maker that brews two 12-oz cups each time.
Once again if you have someone going off to college or moving out, this will be a pleasant gift that is useful and convenient.
Do check out their habits first, like how much caffeine they consume a day before picking one.
If they don’t like coffee, maybe pick one for tea.
4. To-Do List
In this day and age, everyone is busy. This to-do list is so adorable and keeps you productive.
This is on the more affordable end, so if you are on a tight budget, this would be a great gift for her.
Pick one with her favorite color, a cute design, or a structured layout.
You can also bundle this with other smaller items.
Pair it with a small bag of chocolates, a pair of fuzzy socks, and a mug to make it a gift basket.
5. Planner
Other awesome Christmas gift ideas for 2023 include a planner.
Find a planner that suits their needs. If they are a student or teacher, look for academic planners.
However, if they are more into dieting and exercising, pick a planner with food logs and exercise trackers.
If they are working, opt for a more professional, one-color type to align with their environment.
Also, consider the size when picking a planner.
Smaller ones are better if they walk around often while bigger ones are better if they want to have the bigger text and at-a-glance spread out entirely.
For Him
1. Hardware
If your special someone loves to build or construct stuff all the time, this hardware kit is awesome for them.
It includes a hammer, wrench, measuring tape, screws, and more.
The hardware kit also comes with compartmentalized sections for easy organization.
I don’t know much about tools, but I always see my dad messing with his toolbox. He loves switching the showerheads, fixing the fans, and changing the batteries on a bunch of toys and tv remotes.
2. Dumbbell Beer Glass
Gift your dad or special him this funny dumbbell beer glass.
It holds 24 fluid ounces of beer and includes a funny punchline.
However, there are complaints from users that the decals can come off and that beer is more foamy than usual.
Most reviewers did state they love the look of the mug and that it was a comical gift to give.
3. Polo
Women know what looks good on men-so why not buy him a shirt or outfit as a gift?
Here is a simple polo shirt to get started on building your ideal outfit.
Pair it with a nice pair of pants, some socks, a belt, and maybe a coat to tie up the outfit.
Go with neutral colors so it is easier to mix-n-match future outfits.
4. Beard & Mustache Kit
If your special him has to maintain some chin hair, then this beard & mustache kit will be an ideal gift.
It includes several oils and conditioners to take care of after shave.
Since this product is made from long-lasting materials, it is also eco-friendly and suitable for the environment.
Keep them nice and groomed with this all-in-one kit so you don’t need to buy separate tools.
5. Pull Up Bar
It is easy to forget to do exercise when you are home all the time.
This pull-up bar over the doorway is perfect for getting your exercise in while saving space in your home.
My brother has one and he loves it.
It doesn’t take up any valuable floor space, but also allows him to do a few pull-ups each time he goes to the restroom or grabs a snack.
I recommend this for couch potatoes to get into the habit of doing a few pull-ups each time they get up.
For Kids
1. Scratch Art
For those creative artists out there, this scratch art is super fun!
I remember doing this in math class when I was in middle school.
Did not know what it was, but I just knew the whole class was having fun writing their names and putting formulas on them.
This scratch art pad includes 20 pages, 4 styluses, and 3D stickers. There is also a pack of goodies included in the present.
Let your kid unleash their creative side and dive into some fun projects where you can hang around the house.
This other rainbow scratch notes pack includes 125 notecards with 5 styluses. It costs less than the scratch art pad but has smaller dimensions.
Both are great options depending on what size art you want your child to create.
2. Dance Mat
If your child has an infinite amount of energy, this dance mat will for sure drain them of some.
There are several settings and different arcade games within the mat.
It does require 3AA batteries to operate, so make sure that you have some on hand or get rechargeable ones.
This dance mat is great for younger kids to play with and get their exercise in.
If you live in an apartment or on higher floors, it might not be a good idea to get a dance mat as it can disturb people below you.
I love dance mats since I’m exercising without feeling like I exercised. Magic, right?
3. Einstein Box Science Experiment Kit
This Einstein Box Science Experiment Kit is such a great learning package for kids.
It includes 40 core experiments and 60 bonus experiments to do.
Topics that it covers include explosive science, crystal science, material science, water science, soap science, glow science, color science, and practical science.
Your kid or kids will have a lot of fun with this science experiment kit.
They can incorporate fun with learning and expand their exploration curiosity!
4. 9” Illuminated Globe
Maybe get them this 9” illuminated globe that glows in the night!
Teach your child about different countries, constellations, cities, oceans, and waterways.
Since it flows in the dark, it doubles as a night light too.
If your child is learning about geography, then I recommend the Interactive Little Experimenter Talking Globe.
This globe includes a stylus and a stand that talks about each part that you point at.
When first learning, it is super helpful to have more than one cue to absorb information.
For instance, your child will be looking at the spot they pointed at and listening to the words said.
The double reinforcement instills information faster than only receiving one cue.
It does require 4AA batteries so make sure you have those on hand or buy rechargeable ones.
5. Terrarium Kit
Other valuable Christmas gift ideas include this terrarium kit for kids.
It includes an aquarium, a light up lid, seed mix, spray bottle, river rocks, sand, soil, charging cable, miniatures, backdrop, and more!
This is for any child who loves seeing things grow or enjoy science.
Not only does it help your child learn about natural ecosystems, but it also teaches them about patience and observation.
This is one of the most meaningful Christmas gift ideas since you are growing something in the new year.
