Collecting ideas and planning gifts

Heading randomly to the shops or hastily browsing online shops in mid-December can be a real pain in the neck and cause a lot of stress - which you need least before the holidays. So it is all the more helpful to think of your gift ideas for Christmas ahead of time to make this task less stressful! The best way to begin your gift planning is to start by writing down all the people you would like to surprise with a gift. That way you are guaranteed not to forget anyone! The next step is to find ideas. Think about what hobbies each person on your list has. Hobbies, such as tennis, cooking, dancing and so on, are a great base for finding thoughtful gifts. Or maybe you even picked up a wish during the last conversation? Write down all the Christmas gift ideas you can think of and then sort them out. Even if you have not found the perfect gift yet, at least you have a rough plan for your next shopping trip. And now on to further inspiration!

The most popular gift ideas for your loved one

Do you rack your brain every year to find the right Christmas gift idea for your sweetheart? If you are one of those people who have a hard time finding the right gift for your partner, we have a small selection of gift ideas that are particularly popular:

• A different kind of love letter: Write your love note on pillowcases or duvet covers instead of paper! The only thing you need are light-coloured duvet covers and textile pens. This way your darling can cuddle up at night wrapped in loving words.
• Romantic dinner: A dinner prepared with love tastes especially good and with candlelight and romantic music you can round off your dinner date.
• A day in bed: Your sweetheart just wants to relax and be lazy for once? Treat him or her to a day in bed, starting with a delicious breakfast. Board games, films and plenty of snacks make this a real day to relax to the fullest.
• Framed memories: Surely you have already experienced a lot together as a couple, but many memories of your most beautiful experiences are hidden in a cupboard... Photos, tickets, maps and other souvenirs are the perfect gift when framed. You can, for example, create a frame with all the memorabilia for every year or special vacation together - creating a wonderful, personal gallery in your home.
• The most beautiful gift idea for Christmas remains time together! Hardly anything is worth as much as creating memories through joint activities. For example, think of a special activity for each month of the coming year that you would like to experience with your loved one. How about ice skating in January, going dancing in April, a picnic in June, a walk in the forest in October and baking Christmas cookies in December?

Christmas gift ideas for friends and family

Time spent together is also well appreciated by friends and families. If instead you prefer a gift to unpack and touch, we have some wonderful gift ideas for you:

• For a cosy home: We all love a home where we can feel completely comfortable. Parents or friends will certainly be pleased with a gift which makes their home even more cosy. Hobby cooks will be delighted with personalised kitchen utensils, for example, whereas film junkies will be delighted with a nice new cuddly blanket - preferably with arms and a snack bag. In general, home accessories are a very good idea for a Christmas present!
• For adventurers: We all have someone in our circle of friends who regularly goes out into the wide world. There are numerous gift ideas for travellers. Especially useful gadgets such as a mini camera tripod or a waterproof city map will certainly be useful to the adventurer on his next hike.
• For gourmets: Christmas is the gourmets' favourite holiday. The smell of delicious pastries, mulled wine and other festive treats is everywhere. With a personal collection of recipes or home-made culinary delicacies, you will bring great joy to the gourmets in your group of friends.

Giving is a joy

How original or expensive your Christmas gift ideas ultimately are is not so important - what counts the most is that the gifts come from your heart and that you show your family and friends that you care about them. Taking time for each other is the greatest gift of all which money cannot buy!
