Secret Santa games and Christmas gift exchange parties are so fun, but sometimes it’s hard to know what to bring!
Do you go ridiculous, sentimental, whimsical, practical? And what about the budget? You don’t want to bring a $50 gift to a $10 party! (Or vice versa…)
Well, we’ve got you covered. Scroll on for some great Secret Santa gifts that anyone will happy to receive!
If you know someone who craves and adores snuggly warmth, then you know that warm and cozy gifts are the way to go for any gift-giving occasion.
You know how it goes… Cool weather swoops in with a crisp frost. Hot cider steams from a fall-themed mug. Fluffy socks are pulled out from the back of the drawer and onto waiting feet. The meet-cute holiday movie is queued up.
If this is your snuggle bunny’s idea of the perfect birthday (or Christmas… or Thanksgiving… or Tuesday…) then read on for the very best warm & cozy gift ideas.
14-year-olds are the coolest! They’ve outgrown (mostly) the awkward phase, still want to hang out with the old fogies (sometimes), don’t drive yet (to my knowledge!), and still want to snuggle on the couch and watch cartoons (if they’re in the right mood).
But what types of things make really great gifts for 14 year olds? They’re clearly too big for Tonka trucks and Barbies, but too young to appreciate something practical like a really big pack of socks or a stand mixer.
Whether it’s the perfect gift for the professional chef in your life, your neighborhood baker who sets aside those scrumptious cinnamon rolls for you on Tuesdays, your spouse who yells frantically at the television every time someone puts too much truffle oil in their Top Chef episode, or yourself (the next nominee for Worst Cooks In America), we’ve got some great kitchen gift ideas for you.
Writers are a funny breed, aren’t we?
Getting one of us a gift isn’t as easy as it seems, either.
First of all, if the gift is remotely distracting, we’ll just procrastinate our deadlines away and you’ll be in hot water. Secondly, we’re a bundle of witty, funny, romantic, tragic nerves. So don’t get us anything that we’ll be too attached to.
When you’re hunting down the perfect graduation gift, sure, you can go the sappy and sentimental route. (Cheesy.) Or useful and practical. (Boring.)
But graduation is a time to let loose and laugh after all that studying, right?
While those other types of graduation gifts have their place, a goofy and hilarious one will be even more spot on. Read on for some knee-slapping, guffaw-inducing suggestions for your grad!
8 year olds are the best. They’re still hilariously pint-sized, and say and do funny things, but are trying to be more grown up. All of this is a recipe for the most squeezable, hysterical, moody, pesky, questionable, loving, embarrassing, kissable, sticky, THING ever. And we think that thing deserves a great gift.
Here are our favorite gifts for 8 year olds, for birthdays, for Christmas, or just because!
To say that an 80th birthday is a milestone is really an understatement. This whopper of a birthday is a huuuuuuge reason to celebrate, and the perfect excuse to give some thoughtful 80th birthday gifts or throw a memorable party.
