How to Choose the Perfect Christmas Gift

30.11.2021

Finding the perfect Christmas gifts for your family, friends, and loved ones in preparation for the holiday season is a task that can sometimes be more challenging than we give credit. How do we decide on what to buy for the person who insists that they ‘don’t need anything’ or ‘already have everything they want’?

Below, Square One Interiors have put together the ultimate guide to choosing the perfect gift, specifically designed to help you find the best Christmas present for anyone and everyone during the holiday season.

 

Find a gift based on their interests or hobbies

 

When looking for the perfect gift, it’s important to focus on the person that you’re buying for and their personal interests rather than yourself. Think about what they like and try to base their present around their interests and hobbies. If you’re looking for something for someone that you know well, such as a friend or family member, basing a gift on their likes and dislikes should be relatively simple, but it never hurts to ask!

 

Buy them something they need

 

Basing the Christmas gift that you choose around something that your loved one may need is the perfect way to find a present that they’ll love, and actually make use of! Take into account their work and personal life. Do they have any upcoming plans or life changes that you could centre your Christmas gift around, such as going on holiday or starting at a new school/job? Is there anything that they make regular use of that you could look into replacing or upgrading, such as an old handbag that they carry with them everywhere?

 

Find something that you can do together

 

If you’re struggling to think of anything material that you can gift to your friends and family this holiday season, why not consider booking a trip or experience that you can enjoy together, such as a buying tickets to a show or planning a day out?

This is a great way to avoid settling for a gift that is not particularly needed, and instead spend some quality time together!
