Last Minute Christmas Gift Hacks!
Sometimes the Christmas season can be chaotic. We can forget to buy gifts, forget to even find time to buy gifts, or simply give up as we drive around the mall car park. So we have come up with some last minute gift ideas that you can to tuck into a Christmas Card that would make an awesome gift. The best part is that if it last minute, they might not even realise!
Experiences
I think every human is made for experiences and every great experiences adds something to us. A great gift idea is to tuck in a receipt, invoice, booking or voucher of the experience into a card. This could be a dining experience like a six course meal, a place they love, somewhere they always wanted to dine in, a meal from a different culture. This could a learning experience like a cooking class, art class or driving lessons. This could be entertainment experience like a theatre show, a sports game, a concert, the zoo or a wine tour. A thrilling experience like rainbows end, bungy jump or skydive. Or even a plane ticket somewhere! These are just some ideas of an experience! Figure out what your friends and family would enjoy! Imagine when they open your card to find thoughtful words and an experience!
Handmade vouchers
I reckon handmade vouchers are so thoughtful and easy to tuck into a card. These are for those people you want to spend more time with post Christmas. This could be a 10 coffee dates, 3 lunch dates or a cooked dinner date by you. This could be doing half a day of housework, an hour of gardening or 5 times cleaning your car. This could be a 30 min massage by you, reading poetry, baking together, or Netflix and chill. This could be going for a long walk or a spontaneous road trip. Come up with vouchers that will enable you to hang out, spend time or do things for your family and friends. These vouchers can be way more meaningful for some people than a gift. Hand write these vouchers to fit the person and be prepared when they cash in!
Money
Everyone loves money. Kids love money. Teenagers love money. Adults love money. Baby boomers love money. Millennials love money. Everyone loves money. You cannot go wrong with tucking in cash with a Christmas card. With money, your friend or family member has the choice to buy something they love instead of staring at a Christmas gift trying to be polite. As a Chinese person I love opening red packets or cards with cash. I start counting my dollars and scheming what am I going to buy next. If you don’t have a gift for someone, chuck some cash in!
