A retro gift that can be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys capturing the moment. With its instant printing of picture features for you to store or hang up around your home and in a variety of colours, it is a gift that keeps on giving.
Awaken their superhero
If you are looking for a gift for a child who is going through a superhero or princess phase, think of gifting them their wings. There are plenty of themed memorabilia you can find online in the form of capes, masks, wings, bags, cups, shoes and clothes you can find of their favourite character. Don't forget to add some sweet treats.
Portable Bluetooth suitcase record player
If you have the budget to back it up, you could consider getting your loved ones a portable Bluetooth vinyl record player for someone who enjoys the feel of vinyl under their hands. It is also a great way to add a touch of vintage to someone’s space. A suitable gift for both men and women.
Give them an experience
Experiential gifts are becoming increasingly popular. It is a gift that involves going to a place where you can experience art, music, food, and travel in a new way. Furthermore, it has been scientifically proven that experiential gifts help build relationships. As you can tell, this will need to be planned carefully, rather than doing it as a last-minute surprise.
Personalised or themed t-shirts
You will need to know a person well to get them a personalized t-shirt that they will cherish. Depending on what type of interest they have, you can get them their favourite sports team top, a personalised top or the affordable option of graphic tees that you can find at Mr.Price or Cotton On of their favourite band, show and more.
Waterproof Bluetooth shower speaker
This one is for the music lover at heart or someone who enjoys spending 'me time' by unwinding in the tub or shower. It's portable and comes with the convenience of shutting out the world by listening to your favourite tunes or podcasts. It can cost anything from R149 - R399 depending on the brand.
Phone stand
A perfect gift for anyone looking to go hands-free around the house, especially when you are trying to watch something to relax or preparing a meal by watching a video. Say goodbye to lying in awkward positions or your baby finger become sore from balancing your phone awkwardly.
Grooming kit
For men, a grooming kit can come in many forms. This could be a shaving or beard grooming kit. There are also grooming kits for women, but a gift box from the Body Shop with creams, lip balms and facial care products can also be ideal. You can choose to go the personalised route by getting your loved ones all of their favourite products in a gift box with a personal note for that special touch.
Customizable tumbler
This can work for all ages and genders. Personalise coffee mugs or travel mugs with their name, picture or design that you know they will love. Add a few goodies inside in the form of snacks and sweets that can fit, and you have a mini gift basket for them to enjoy.
