Yet no matter how hard we try, there is always someone on our list that is difficult to buy for. Well, fear no more! I have created a gift guide sorted into age groups to ensure that when you give out presents for the holidays, you will do better than Santa!

Clothes

It sounds basic, I know, but, trust me if you are familiar with the person’s style and favorite stores, clothing is an appreciated and amazing gift. Clothes are not only something teens always want but something they would get great use out of. Some popular clothing stores include Kohl’s, Gap, Old Navy, Nike, and there are so many more!

Every serious sports fan has a favorite team. Getting someone accessories with their favorite sports team logos would be a great gift!

No one can have too many pajamas that is why they make the perfect present! Being that it is close to the holidays a cozy pair of Christmas pj’s would be an amazing gift. Old Navy, Gap, Kohl’s Target, and Walmart are a few stores that have great Christmas pajamas.

Gift cards

Don’t underestimate the value of a gift card because although they are simple they make a great gift! Whether it be to their favorite store, place to eat, streaming service, or clothing store, gift cards are very useful! Gift cards can be found for almost any store and places like CVS, Walmart, and Rite Aid carry many cards for other retailers!

Weighted blankets are a way to release stress and anxiety while sleeping, giving you a better night’s rest. These blankets come in many different weights, sizes, and colors!

Candles 

A simple candle that smells great will be an amazing gift for anyone! They come in many scents including seasonal ones, making them the perfect holiday gift! Look for candles at Kohl’s, Walmart, Target, Bath and Body Works.

Streaming Service Subscription

With all of the binge-watching that is going on right now, a thoughtful present would be to give a subscription to a streaming service such as Disney +, Netflix, or Apple TV! You can decide on how long you will buy it for because subscriptions come in monthly or yearly payments. I recommend before anything that you check if they have a subscription first so you don’t buy it if they already have the service. You can look for virtual gift cards for these streaming services or in stores such as CVS, Rite Aid, and Walmart.
