Christmas has arrived; it is a season filled with joy, love, eating, and gifting. I’ve been reading online that this Christmas should be postponed because the economy is bad or because people don’t have enough money (as much as required, for some). People would appreciate your gifts now more than ever; and even better – you wouldn’t need their wish list to do so. Below are some ideas for gifts you can give to anyone, from strangers to your siblings and even your bestie, ranging in price from nothing to a lot of money.
Gifts for Strangers
Christmas is a wonderful time of year to help those in our communities who are less privileged. It’s a wonderful idea to donate to and visit the internally displaced persons (IDP) camps this Christmas. Donate clothes and items that are still in excellent condition that you no longer use. Visit a nursing home and spend some time with the elderly, and visit orphanages and spend time with the young ones there. Show love by taking foodstuff, clothing items, toys, etc.
Gifts for Moms
This includes new moms, your biological mother, your spouse’s mother, and other mother figures in your life.
Nonstick cookware
Nonstick cookware was created to allow you to prepare virtually any type of food. Its nice interior coating prevents food from sticking and makes cleaning up easy. It is dishwasher safe, making cleaning up even easier. Its elegant exterior will also complement your kitchen decor. The handles are well-designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip. It also remains cool even after the cookware has been heated.
Multiple name necklace
This scripted name necklace is a sweet way to keep her children close to her heart and is ideal for the new mom or the one about to empty her nest. Choose between a silver or gold chain, and then email the Etsy seller with up to four names.
A new outfit
Nobody complains about a new outfit unless it isn’t to their liking. Go through their pictures, and you will have an idea of what they like.
Gifts for Dads
This includes new dads, your biological father, your spouse’s father, and other father figures in your life.

These gifts are great all-year round. Physical items and financial assistance are not the only types of gifts you could give at Christmas. Giving is all about showing someone love or other emotional support. We shouldn’t limit our generosity to people we know; instead, like in the movie ‘Little Women’, we can share our food with our neighbours who have less, or with the less privileged. Everyone deserves to be loved; a little kindness never hurts.
