We’re
in the midst of the busiest shopping time of the year! It’s fair to
say that we all dread hitting the shops and fighting our way through
the crowds, Christmas music blaring on repeat, and novelty gifts
everywhere we turn. Putting angry shoppers aside, the majority of us
would agree it’s all completely worth it when you see those
presents under the tree while you eagerly anticipate the smiles on
your friends and families faces when they open those awesome gifts.
Amidst
the shopping frenzy, it’s easy to get distracted by those stocking
fillers, the chocolate treats and of course those novelty gifts that
range from the horrible to the hilarious and before you know it
you’ve spendt a fortune on things that, by the time next Christmas
comes around, those gifts will lay forgotten in a drawer somewhere.
Sometimes
it’s better to think quality over quantity and find that one
perfect gift they’ll really appreciate. Here’s a few fantastic
ideas for timeless Christmas gifts that will stand the test of time:
Jewellery:
The Classic Option
Although
this may be your go to gift for some members of your family, choose
carefully and a piece of jewellery really can be something that they
treasure forever. There is an abundance of charm bracelets available
from a number of big brand names, shop around and find one that
perfectly suits their personality. Don’t fill the bracelet with
charms; choose one or two meaningful ones with the idea that you and
the person you’re buying for can fill the bracelet with charms over
time, as they reach meaningful milestones in their life.
A
Designer Watch
When
it comes to the finer things in life, owning a designer watch is
definitely high up there on the list. Although they can be costly,
it’s also a gift that can be worn proudly on the receiver’s arm,
everyday, year after year. With so many beautifully crafted watches
on offer it can be difficult to choose the perfect timepiece, take a
look at the Nigel O’Hara range ofwatches for inspiration. Choose your
loved one’s favourite designer brand then narrow your search down
by choosing must have features, strap type, colour etc. and you’ll
soon find the watch they’ll adore.
Make
Memories
Your
brother might have forgotten about that awful Christmas jumper you
bought him last year but he’d be hard pushed to forget a drive
around a racetrack in a Lamborghini or a sky dive from 7,000ft.
Experience days will create memories that will last a lifetime, often
posing a once in a lifetime opportunity that will never be forgotten.
First
Editions
A
first edition of a favourite book is any book lover’s dream gift.
If you have any bookworms in your family do a little investigating
and find out what their favourite book of all time is, or perhaps
their favourite childhood book, surely there’s still a few first
addition of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ available!
When
you’re planning your present buying this year, put down that
Breaking Bad mug, forget about the Die Hard box set and take some
time to find the perfect timeless gift for that special person. Just
a little hint - if you get a reaction like this you know you’re on
to a winner!
