Gift Budgeting & Expenses

Christmas is the main time of year that causes people concern when it comes to budgeting, so we’ll be starting with that and moving on from there.

The pressure of having to buy Christmas presents for everyone (or almost everyone) is high, and even those who are good with their money often find themselves tightening their belts once the holiday shopping is done.

According to the latest Christmas spending statistics, Americans plan to spend around $1,552 during an average Christmas season.

And that’s not even per family, but per individual! And that includes a 5% drop from the previous year. 

Whether it’s strictly your Christmas gift budget that you’re looking to nail down, or your overall budget for the entire year, we’re here to help.

Remember, you are giving a gift of your own free will and hard-earned money. If you can’t afford expensive gifts or mid-range items, then be sure to just make it a thoughtful gift. 

That’s what makes all the difference. Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated no matter what!

With that in mind, let’s check out The Ultimate Gift Budget guide.

• How to Celebrate Without Spending

Annual Gift Budget

For anyone careful enough with their finances to plan out a yearly budget (as we all should, right?), consider designating a safe percentage of your income for anticipated gifts. 

Doing this can help avoid unexpected expenses for unforeseen occasions. And you can give a gift without reaching into other budget categories.

For an annual gift budget, consider setting aside 3%-5% of your yearly income.

If your income is on the higher end, you may want to budget less, maybe from 1-3%. But we’d recommend no more than 5%, no matter your income.

Whatever percentage you decide on, once you have a set amount, do your best to stick to it. 

Now that doesn’t mean you stress yourself out about it and it’s the end of the world if you go a bit over or under, but a spending limit is there to help guide your spending and prevent future financial stress. 

And we’re all for preventing and eliminating stress.

Christmas Gifts

At Christmas time, you will have a few different categories of folks to buy gifts for, and stressing over how much to spend on Christmas gifts per person can really get to you if you don’t have a plan.

Much like birthdays, there can be slightly different social rules and expectations, depending on the situation and gift recipients.

According to some financial studies, the average Christmas gift cost per person when buying for a group of close family and friends is $41.38.

But that is over a wide range of financial scenarios and income brackets. Rather than taking such a number at face value (literally), we recommend tailoring costs specifically to your financial situation.

For the big picture, let’s consider a couple of budget rules:

Contribute to your Christmas savings all year round. If you wait until December and use your paycheck for Christmas, it can be hard to stay within budget and not overextend yourself. Set a little aside each of the other 11 months and keep your Christmas budget stress-free.

As a percentage of your annual income, 1% of your total income is an acceptable max for your Xmas budget. This means if you set aside just 1% of each month’s pay, you will have enough to budget your Christmas shopping! Simple, easy to calculate, and you’ll barely notice the change in your pay. 

Not a rule per se, but consider spreading your Christmas expenses throughout the whole year. Who says all the gifts need to be purchased in December? Deal days like Cyber Monday and Black Friday are a great way to save a lot of money on presents.

Recent statistics say that over 60% of Americans prefer online shopping, so why not take advantage of the serious deals that companies make available exclusively to online shoppers?

Budget Tip: If you wait until December to save money, you will likely spend 12% or more of your paycheck on gifts. That may not sound like a lot, but after your housing, food, and other bills, your belt might be a little tighter than you expected.

Save yourself the belt notches (you’ll need them for Christmas cookies anyways) and put something aside the other 11 months.

Let’s take a look at a few predictable situations and categories of people, and you can begin to plan your Christmas gift budget this year.

Close Friends

Your “friends” Christmas budget will depend on past experience and any spoken rules or understandings between you and your partner, family, or friends.

For White Elephant and other group gift traditions, there is usually an agreed upon budget of $20-$30. 

Perhaps your friend group is closer than that, and you have only 2 or 3 close friends to buy for. 

If you are buying for an individual very close to you, you can be safe keeping your budget between $30 and $50.

Significant Others

Have a conversation together about your budget and expectations. Being honest and open ahead of time can save a lot of confusion or potentially hurt feelings.

We recommend you keep your budget to around $100 to $150 for your significant other. This could be much lower or higher depending on your present circumstances and history.

Are you ramen-eating college students? Go with $20 and some creative DIY-ing. Did you get her a diamond necklace for last year’s Xmas? Well, a new pair of gloves might seem a little lackluster this year.

Immediate Family

Some families are small enough that you can get a gift for your sibling, mom, and dad without spending too much.

For family gift exchange parties and traditions such as Secret Santa, Pakkeleg, or White Elephant, we recommend a gift budget of $25-$40. Here is our curated list of the best Secret Santa gifts.

But how much do you spend on parents for Christmas? Your sister or brother? Their spouses? When giving gifts to each member of the family, we recommend that you keep your spending down to $25 max per person.

Office Party/Coworkers

Similar to birthdays, coworkers usually do not expect big Christmas gifts, and anything more expensive than a box of cookies or 6-pack might seem to be saying something more than “Merry Christmas.”

For coworkers and gifts for office parties, stick to the $5-20 budget range.

Other Friends and Loose Social Circle

Maybe your friends can all get together for a gift sharing game to help keep costs down. Or you want to get everyone something personally meaningful or thoughtful.

Friends don’t expect the world when they know you are buying for lots of people. And a big gift creates expectations of something in return, even if you say otherwise.

For your broader social circle and other friends, choose one of these options:

• Limit spending to $10-$20 per person
• Make holiday treats and give them nicely wrapped with a personal note
• Tell friends ahead of time that you aren’t buying gifts this year, but that you want to (meet up for coffee, have a party, etc)

Having a ton of gifts to buy can be stressful, so don’t let that idea stress you out! Think of all your friends as a blessing in the holiday season, and find a simple way to show them how much they mean to you.

Extended Family

As with your broader social circle, buying gifts for your extended family shouldn’t overextend your Christmas budget.

One easy way to do this is to get everyone together for a gift exchange, where you only need to contribute a single gift.

If you are buying for several individuals in your extended family, consider keeping your budget down to $10 per person.

Pets

We love our pets! And who doesn’t love giving there doggie a big bone, or their kitty some catnip?

We recommend keeping the budget for pets in the $10-20 range.

Your pet may not know what Christmas is, but they will know its a very special day for them!

Birthdays

As simple as birthdays can seem, there are many things to consider. How much to spend on a birthday gift is just one of them.

Relationships, immediate vs extended family, whether you know someone well or not, milestones (for instance, Sweet Sixteen or a 50th birthday).

So we have a few birthday situations listed to help you narrow your budget down. Please consider the category that is closest to your situation, and adjust as your intuition guides you.

Immediate Family

For your own kids, siblings, and parents, you will see a lot of birthdays over the years. If you “mess one up,” you will be getting a lot more chances. So, no pressure.

For a single gift to your close & immediate family, consider a budget of about $20-$40. If you wish to simply give cash instead of a gift, the average birthday money gift is (according to statistics) $25, regardless of relationship.

This is flexible, and for big milestones (like Mom’s 50th, your kid’s 18th, quinceañeras) you may have reason to spend more.

For multiple gifts, perhaps for your own kids’ birthdays, consider pushing the total budget up to the $50 range.

Extended Family

For extended family, including nieces and nephews, stick to around $20. This can be less if they are younger and still in grade school, and more for big milestone birthdays.

Homemade gifts like their favorite baked treats, hand stamped t-shirts or hats, or other fun crafting gifts are also perfectly acceptable, especially for younger kids.

Friends

Often our closest friends are not around us — they come and go, they move and relocate for family and work. It is not necessary, or expected, to exchange gifts with friends who are now far away. (Thought you certainly can!)

But when they are close enough that we get the chance to celebrate their lives with them, it is acceptable to spend a little more. 

For this reason, it is appropriate to extend your budget to the $25-$40 range for close friends’ birthdays. 

Your Kids’ Friends

Part of children growing up is going to school, joining clubs and groups, and making new friends.

Some of these friendships may even become lifelong. With new friends comes birthday invitations, and it is up to mom and dad to pay for the gift on behalf of their kids. 

Of course, kids in grade school will have lots of friends and lots of birthday invitations each year.

For this reason, it is generally expected that birthday gifts will be in the range of $10-20 for friends of your children.

And it can be a lot of fun for your kid to help pick out the gift!

Coworkers

Work and office etiquette can seem a little tricky sometimes. You never want to send the wrong signals (“does he think we are more than co-workers?”). 

With that in mind, the appropriate amount to spend on a coworker should be $5-20.

Our recommendation for how much to spend on a birthday gift for your coworker — don’t spend more than you would on a 6-pack of beer, an inexpensive coffee mug, or a box of cookies.

1. Rust Colored Linen Napkin set

Linen is always a good idea, and these napkins are the perfect pumpkiny harvest color. Impress your friends with elegant napkins like these at your next October dinner.

I know I said the air already smells like candles, but if you really want the air to smell extra this candle set is lovely. There are plenty of scent options, and the candles are made in small batches designed to burn cleaner, which is better for you and the planet.

Win-win, eh? These would also make a nice gift for a friend with a fall birthday.

3. Create A Set Of 3 Velvet Pumpkins

4. Maple Leaf Cutting And Serving Board

4. Funny Retirement Card

Sometimes simple gifts are best. Consider a gift card to a favorite restaurant, coffee shop, or sporting goods store tucked into a funny retirement card like this one.

The way the card is folded, when they pull it out of the envelope it will look like it says, “Good riddance!”

When unfolded, however, it will say something much closer to what’s in your heart: “Good-bye to my lovely friend, rid yourself of work stress and dance! I hate to see you go, but I’m so excited for you.”

• Pink Crocs

You will definitely want to adjust your gift to the personality and sensibilities of the recipient.

While the pink crocs and gardening hat may be perfectly funny (or just plain perfect) for some people, others might get more of a kick out of running shoes, sweatbands, and a pair of jogging earbuds, or perhaps wine glasses and a map to local vineyards and tasting rooms.

The best gift ideas create a story.

Think about it… What’s the best gift you’ve ever received? What about it made it memorable? There’s a story there.

Considering: Daniel’s Best Gift Ideas

We asked our founder, Daniel Szczesniak, about his favorite gifts, both received and given.

What is the best gift anyone has given you?

I love old books. As a student of theology, I also love the Psalms, and Charles Spurgeon, the old 17th century Baptist preacher. And I love my wife.

So the best gift I ever received was a combination of all these things: An old-fashioned copy of Spurgeon’s commentary on the Psalms, called The Treasury of David, given to me by my then-fiancée (now wife!) as an engagement gift.

Here’s a photo of it on my shelf.

Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon

$29.00

• Old-fashioned reproduction of Spurgeon's most beloved work
• Two volume set commenting on all 150 Psalms
• Includes thousands of curated quotations from the Puritans
• The perfect gift for a theology nerd

Some of my other favorite gifts include:

A coffee mug and book set from a niche book publisher I really appreciate. The mug fits in my hand just right so I use it every day, and the books are terrific.

Board games, especially the ones that we play a lot because I love a good strategy game, and board games are a great way to spend time together as a family.

We particularly enjoy:

• Agricola, from my wife about 12 years ago. This is a farming strategy game that we’ve played countless times (first, after our toddler children went to bed, and now with them as they are teenagers).
• Dune: Imperium, from my mom the Christmas it came out. Our family of four played it nearly every day for a solid two months. Amazing game.
• Dutch Blitz, a quick-play card game kinda like Solitaire and Speed combined. This was from my wife to the family last Christmas, and it’s a great little game for families and gatherings when you don’t want to do an in-depth 2-hour board game.

Experience gifts. My favorite is our tradition of going to the local Triple-A baseball game every Father’s Day. Other great experiences I’ve received include an escape room, axe throwing, and the theater.

What are some of the most memorable gifts you’ve given?

Thrift store Christmas. When I was younger and still living at home, my family decided to do only used gifts one year. My older sister and I could drive, so we spent most of December hauling our three younger siblings around town, going to thrift stores, antique malls, and estate sales looking for good junk to give to one another as unique gifts. This was before thrift stores became “vintage” so you really could find great bargains. The idea was to spend less, but we all spent the same amount as usual so Christmas morning the entire living room was covered with presents, including several furniture items. Of course none of us really remember what we gave or got, but the experience of spending a month hunting down gifts and watching people’s eyes light up with surprise on Christmas was amazing.

Vacuum sealer. I wrote about why a vacuum sealer might be the greatest gift of all time in November of 2018. Knowing my wife doesn’t read any of my work (lol), I promptly tested that theory by giving her one that same Christmas. She unwrapped it and was like, “Ok, uh, neat.” But since then we have used it so much that now, as I’m asking her for her list of favorite gifts ever, guess what gift she remembers?!?

Box of books. Both of our kids love to read, and can read insanely fast. So they go through books like crazy. A few Christmases ago we began giving them a big cardboard box filled with books for the both of them – some boy stuff, some girl stuff, and a bunch of books that anyone and everyone enjoys. It’s a joy to see them reading and talking about those books even months later.

Considering: Christin’s Best Gift Ideas

Christin Szczesniak loves to give gifts, and is an advocate for early Christmas/birthday present opening (her husband vehemently opposes this). We asked Christin about the best gifts she’s given and received.

What is your all-time favorite gift?

My all-time favorite gift is my antique set of mini Shakespeare books. I love old books. The way I can never resist shoving my nose in the second I open one, and inhaling the smell that only an old book can carry! I like to think of the different hands that have loved this book before me.

My set of mini Shakespeares is also special to me since it was given to me by my husband before we were married, and reminds me of walking the little old town, where it was purchased, on some of our very first dates.

Here they are:

Some of my other favorite gifts include:

• Going on a trail ride for my birthday. I love horses!
• A Bible journal set that has each book of the Bible in its own little journal, complete with pretty illustrations.
• The bubble projection photo necklace that my friend got for me after my Papa died with his photo in it.
• A vacuum sealer. I remember opening it and thinking “uhh, interesting?” But it ended up being so useful!

Best Gifts for 2024

Does anyone remember the gifts they received at a white elephant gift exchange? Of course not. Most of the time the gift is a bust. But what is it that makes these things so popular?

I’ll tell you: It’s the experience.

It’s the thrill of the unexpected, the twists and turns of gifts getting “stolen,” the laughter of a big group of people who are caught up in the moment.

As you browse these gift ideas, look for ways to create an experience with your gift. We’ll have more suggestions below, but first, here are some of our favorite gifts for 2024 and beyond.

Considering: Cassie’s Best Gift Ideas

Cassie Reynoso cherishes gifts that reflect genuine thoughtfulness, both in receiving and giving. She loves to know her hobbies and personality are considered in the gifts she receives, so she does what she can to give that thoughtfulness right back! Here is her list of favorite gifts she has received and given.

What’s the Best Gift You’ve Ever Received?

One year my sister, Brooke, made it her goal to make sure each of us siblings had a copy of our extensive family recipe book. I’m talking about hundreds of recipes, how-to’s, and substitutes you didn’t even know were possible. The original recipe book originates from my father’s side, put together by my grandmother in the 1950s, with recipes that date back to the 1800s from her and my grandfather’s parents. It is filled with American classics, Scottish recipes, German recipes, and even some Spanish dishes they borrowed from their neighbors before moving to America!

Along with these delicious recipes, like the German Chocolate Pie or Texas Lasagna, this book also features some fun facts on how to take care of one’s self, feed 50 people, and much more.

Some of my favorite (but weird) facts included in this recipe book by my grandmother are:

• “Garden Hints: If you have bought a $1.00 plant, make a $5.00 hole for it. (Big)”
• “Backache — You may need shoes that have at least a 1 ½ inch heel.”
• “Poisonous Snake Bite: (along with other details that are too long to type) In case of collapse, give the victim strong coffee.”

Aside from the sillies listed above, since I have been married, I have been including traditional Mexican recipes from my husband’s side along with some new favorites we find along the way. As our relatives gifted us these thoughtful recipes and tips, we are hoping to pass those along in our family tree.

If you’re inspired to gift a similar idea, here’s my favorite recipe book:

As hard as it is to beat a backache remedy like my Grandma’s, the following list of gifts are the competitors for the “Best Gift Award” that I have received from loved ones:

• Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer: Every human with long hair knows how long it takes for it to dry. My sweet husband knew how challenging this was for me, so he gifted me this amazing hair dryer for Valentine’s Day a few years ago. For those with long hair, I can not begin to tell you how much of a game-changer this hair dryer has been!
• Pinafore Apron: Sure, I gifted it to myself — what’s wrong with that? I love it! This apron is handmade and helps keep the flour off of me perfectly as I bake out of my recipe book.
• Calendars: Every year, my Christmas gift from sister Aubrey (who you may have seen write a few of these articles) gives me a new calendar for the upcoming year. It’s a special gift that I look forward to each year, and as I use it throughout the new year I can’t help but think of her!

What are some of the most memorable gifts you’ve given?

Exotic Car Experience: Back when my husband and I were young and dating, his dream was to be a race car driver! I believed in him 100% of course. So, for a sweet Christmas stocking stuffer, I decided to purchase him a driving experience at a motorsport ranch here in Texas. He LOVED it. He was able to drive his favorite sports cars around a race track – that’s pretty cool for a 19-year-old! Since then, he has sadly boxed up his dream of driving around race tracks, but I still haven’t been able to top this gift in 10 years.

G-Shock Watch: My father is your typical rugged, outdoor man. If he is somewhere, it’s either in the woods or in the backyard. And I may be exaggerating a little bit when I tell you he had the same G-Shock watch for 10 years. It may have not been exactly 10 years, but it was close! So finally, I decided last Christmas that it was time to put his old watch to rest and update him with a new one. I think it’s safe to say that it is appreciated just as much since he hasn’t taken it off!  If you’re looking for a reputable watch brand, G-Shock watches will last a lifetime.

The Crane Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier has been a lifesaver for me! As someone who deals with allergies and constant sore throats from the heaters in the winter — I can not live without it!

I have tried other humidifiers in the past, but this one is the best. It features an optional section for replaceable filters and an easy-to-clean design. This is huge if you do not want to deal with overly clunky, hard-to-clean humidifiers that easily gather bacteria. 

The only downside is that you can’t use essential oils, but if you do not care about having that feature then this humidifier is for you!

Considering: McKenna’s Best Gift Ideas

McKenna Hinton’s favorite gifts, both to give and receive, are spontaneous, just-because gifts. The, “Hey, I saw this and thought of you, and I knew it would make you happy!” gifts. Here’s what she had to say about her favorite ideas and experiences.

What is the best gift anyone has given you?

The very best gift I’ve ever received was actually a ticket to see the Paris Opera Ballet perform Giselle live on stage. I studied classical ballet for many years, and the dancers at the Opera National de Paris were my biggest role models and sources of inspiration. Growing up in rural Northeastern Washington, though, I never had the opportunity to see them perform live. 

Fast forward ten years as I was preparing for my first overseas trip. My parents caught wind of a special performance that the Paris Opera Ballet would be giving in my destination city, and they bought me a ticket as a surprise. I was so touched by their thoughtfulness that I cried halfway through the third act just thinking about it. It was a magical experience I’ll never forget, and an absolutely perfect gift.

Some of my other favorite gifts include:

• An 1816 leather-bound copy of Robert Burns’ poems. Knowing my love of poetry and penchant for collecting old books, a dear friend of mine picked up this special gift for me on her travels through Scotland. Just holding it makes me happy.
• My Nespresso coffee machine. I admittedly have a bit of a coffee addiction (maybe more than a bit), and being able to make café-quality coffee in seconds? Can’t beat it.
• In 2011, vinyl hadn’t quite made the comeback it has now, but I got a record player for my birthday along with what still remains the favorite album in my collection, Simon & Garfunkel’s LP Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Giftory: Experience Gifts & Ideas For Every Occasion

To me, experiences are some of the very best gifts to give or receive. Enabling someone to see or do something they’ve always had their heart set on (without them having to foot the bill) is top notch gift giving if you ask me.

Giftory makes that simple: Just purchase a voucher for a fun experience, and the recipient can redeem it anytime they want. Thoughtful, easy, and memorable!

What are some of the most memorable gifts you’ve given?

Antique Jewelry. To know my mother is to know she loves beautiful, feminine things. Clothes, shoes, interior design, you name it. But she has a particular fondness for jewelry. One year for Christmas I decided to hunt down the prettiest piece of antique jewelry for her that I could afford. That wasn’t a whole lot at the time (I was in high school), but I managed to win an eBay auction for a silver pendant that I thought she would love. And she did! She still wears it for special occasions, keeps it lovingly polished, and frets anytime she fears she may have misplaced it. 

Slippers. Slippers may not sound like an “out-of-this-world” gift that someone would talk about for years, but if you’re as serious about slippers as my dad is, they definitely are. I swear my father has razor blades for feet, because he can wear out any shoe faster than you can shake a stick at. It’s one of life’s great mysteries to me. But one holiday season my siblings and I saw an ad for Old Friend slippers and thought they looked more durable than the standard slipper fare. It turned out to be an accurate assumption, because they lasted him years instead of months! And even at that, they were replaced not because they were worn out, but because my mom wasn’t fond of the smell they had acquired. To this day, they are the only slipper brand he’ll wear.

Concert tickets. I have a best friend that likes to joke that we’re actually twin sisters who were separated at birth, despite the fact that we look nothing alike. But we are so incredibly similar in so many ways, she makes a convincing case. We share the same love of books, history, art, antiques, cuisine, fashion, movies… One of the first things we bonded over in college, though,  was music. In particular, we’re both diehard Mumford & Sons fans. For an early 10 year “friendiversary” gift last year, I managed to score tickets to a small-venue concert in North Carolina where she lives, and flew up to surprise her and join her for the concert experience of a lifetime.

Beauty. Quality. Functionality. Craftsmanship. What more could you ask of a wallet?

If you’re dead set on giving him a gift card to Cabella’s, we won’t stop you. Especially if that’s his favorite place to be! You know him best.

But if you’re looking for something a little more meaningful, a little more lasting, then we have some great gift ideas from our favorite dudes (aka our dads, brothers, friends, brother-in-laws, etc. whom we polled) for you. There are all sorts of practical gifts to consider, as well as sentimental, so we’re sure he’ll love one of these ideas. 

Replace a meaningful (but worn out) item. One individual described a beloved wallet that was falling apart, accruing duct tape to hold it together. The gift giver found the exact same wallet and gave it for Christmas. It’s that type of gift that shows you are really thinking about that person and considering what they might need, want, or appreciate.

Something that will last (potentially a lifetime). This can be any number of items in a wide variety of categories. A really high quality dopp kit, a watch with his name engraved, a nice leather watch box or jewelry box… The list goes on! The idea is something useful that will stand the test of time, and go with him throughout the course of his life.

Feed the hobbies. To quote William Osler, “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.” Men often have at least one hobby that they’re really devoted to, so tap into that! Does he love collecting Pokémon cards? Going to the driving range with his buddies on Saturdays? Woodworking? Find that niche thing he loves and support him in his leisurely endeavors.

Similar to moms, dads rarely voice their wants or needs. My own father is a tough one to shop for, and I regularly receive the “Oh honey, I don’t need anything!” response when I inquire about gifts. I know for a fact I’m not alone. This is where your powers of observation can come into play. Watch for favorite items that need replacing, the absence of helpful tools that could make his life easier, and just tune into who he is and what he loves as a person!

Outdoor gear. Lots of guys love the great outdoors in some capacity. If your dad is no exception, how about getting something to outfit him for his next trek into the wild? We love a good camp stove, like the Überleben Stöker Twig Stove below, but you could also opt for fishing or hunting gear, water sports equipment, hiking gear…whatever floats his boat! There are some really cool gifts in this category to choose from.

Practical yet stylish. Men don’t usually get overly excited about clothes, but get him some comfy, durable, wash-n-wear pieces for his wardrobe and he’ll be super appreciative. Take his lifestyle into consideration, too. Does he work in an office 40+ hours a week and need some truly comfortable business casual pieces? Does he work outdoors in the elements where he needs to stay warm and dry? Take note and help a fella out.

You can’t go wrong with something sentimental. Many dads have a soft, squishy center that they like to keep hidden at all times. A thoughtful, handwritten letter telling him how much you love and appreciate him, a framed picture of the two of you, a small memento that he can carry with him to remind him of you…the sky is the proverbial limit. Make it sweet, just like him.

This year has seen a big spike in personal care gifts and a focus on well being, so maybe start there? Show her just how well you know her and wow her like never before with the perfect present.

Spell her name. Give her a gift basket filled with “gifts that start with [letter].” For instance, if her name is Emily, give her a whole bunch of gift ideas that start with E, or five gifts that spell her name:

• Eucalyptus shower bundle
• Matcha tea starter set
• Infinity scarf
• Lip balm set
• Yarn bowl (if she’s a knitter)

Spa resort. Treat her to a full weekend, or if your budget is limited, a day pass to a local spa to make her day.

Her Favorite Classics. Most women, if not avid readers, have at least one or two classic books that they read time and time again. Book lovers even more! There are some awesome publishing companies out there that have spared no expense in reproducing gorgeous, hardback editions of classic books that any girl would swoon over.

Elegant, sophisticated, and versatile, this classic tennis bracelet is just the thing to spoil her.

Moms can be really hard to shop for sometimes. They give, give, give of themselves, but when it’s finally time for us to give back…what would they even want?

They rarely voice their own needs, so some careful thought and a good pair of listening ears will come in handy! Pay attention to what she says and pick up on any clues she may drop unknowingly. Next time Mother’s Day or her birthday rolls around, you’ll be set.

Something to make her feel appreciated. Did you know that in a recent survey of more than 3,600 moms, 95% said they feel unappreciated, unacknowledged, or unseen? Why is that? Well, for starters, a lot of what moms do day-in and day-out is behind the scenes. They keep the home running like a well-oiled machine, regardless of whether we stop long enough to notice it. Quiet perseverance is often what sets mom apart. A gift to make her feel appreciated could look like anything from a trip to the spa, to a handmade coupon book full of household tasks that you can relieve her of. Get creative, but let her know, “Hey Mom, I see what you do, and appreciate you for it.”

Something practical. Make it something functional that she can utilize regularly! Does she love to bake and cook? Get her a gift that will make her time in the kitchen more efficient. Does she love gardening? Get her useful new tools that will take the strain off of her body. You get the idea!

Spoil her. Another ailment that many mothers suffer from is what I like to call the “what’s leftover” sickness. Moms are always putting the needs of their family before their own, and if there’s any leftover (be it money, food, time, etc.) that’s what they allot for themselves. Make her enjoyment the priority and spoil her with a gift that’s beyond anything she would ever purchase for herself.

What do we, the team here at AGC, consider to be the greatest gifts for kids? With so many different toys and neat tech gadgets on the market, it can be hard to know what to shoot for, and — in the long run — what’s really best for your kids. Well, we’ve settled on the ones that fuel ingenuity and the imagination. In this digital age, we don’t need to add to what will already be a lifetime of screen time, so we love the hands-on, real-life fun these gifts provide.

Real tools. Kids play best when they’re emulating the grown ups around them. That’s why so many kids play teacher or doctor or fireman. It’s why young girls play house and young boys love Minecraft. It’s why Legos are so popular. Kids want to create and do, take steps to make their imaginations come to life in real ways. They want to be grown up, capable, responsible. So what better gift than to get your kids tools! Real tools they can actually use to build, garden, cook, craft, sew, and study.

Magic sets. There’s something about magic that expresses the wonder of childhood. And a child likes nothing better than to figure out how the trick is done, in order to turn around and trick everyone (a million times).

Tents. Kids and tents go together like peanut butter and jelly. There are so many great kids tents on the market today that are easy to set up, affordable, and are indoor/outdoor friendly. From imaginary outposts on the frontier to summer sleepovers in the backyard, a tent is practically an essential part of childhood.

Girls and their interests are as diverse as the shells on the shore, so likewise the gifts they find enjoyment in will also be beautifully diverse! Is she a girly-girl that enjoys nothing more than primping and polishing?

Or is she a more bookish sort that would rather be rummaging through piles of old, dusty books in an attic somewhere? Or does she fall somewhere in between? Start with her favorite things and interests and go from there, and you’re sure to find something that will make an ideal gift. 

We love these ideas and think she will too!

Best Gifts for Photos & Memories

Family photo session. Hire a professional portrait photographer to take family pics at a gorgeous location. Go all out and have everyone in the family dressed their best.

Print a custom calendar, filled with family photos. Have each family member choose a few specific days throughout the year where they will do something: cook dinner, do yard work or housework, clean the garage, play their favorite game (Scrabble, anyone?), scrapbook, go through old family photos, take them out to eat, watch a movie together… the possibilities are endless!

Find creative ways to share memories. This could be a jar filled with notes, a box filled with 3×5 cards, a series of sealed envelopes, personalized fortune cookies, scrapbooks, journals, and more. Here’s one great idea for a journal gift:

Personalized Leather Journals

The most precious thing I own:

"For my 21st birthday my Mom went through all her old diaries and copied every entry having to do with me since the day she found out she was pregnant. It turned out to be 5 volumes and they're the most precious thing I own. She did the same for my three younger siblings. It took her about a year to do that for each one of us."

"I Cried Tears of Joy."

LEGO Iconic Rose

What is the most meaningful gift you've received?

"This is silly, but I got a set of Lego roses from one of my best friends for us to build together and for me to keep. He knows how much I like flowers and I didn't know Lego flowers existed at that point (I've seen all the sets now). It was also on a day where we happened to go to a botanical garden, but that part wasn't planned out. I cried tears of joy for days. I still get weepy if I think about it."
