The Christmas countdown is well and truly on. But with so many options for presents, it can be tough finding the right gifts for the right people. To make things a bit easier, we’ve profiled some of the different types of people you’ll likely be buying presents for this year, and made some suggestions with them all in mind. Consider this your indispensable gift guide for the Christmas season. You can thank us later.
The student
The people who get the longest break at Christmas are pretty good at sniffing around for deals themselves. Far from being the toughest group to buy for, you pretty much can’t go wrong. From the unlimited choice of ASOS goodies to a booting flag (rest assured they’ll know what this is) from Burubado – online shopping for them is gold. Why not fuel their witty humour with Cards Against Humanity or just give into what they want – a Dan Murphy’s voucher. Lastly, students never buy what they need, so get them some driving lessons – after all, when else can they take a Tuesday morning off to practice their hill starts?
The Exhausted Mum
The busy mum deserves to put her feet up at Christmas more than most. So be sure to get her a treat that’ll help her to unwind for a while. Jump onto airtasker.com and book a cleaner for the house for the day and give mum a break. We guarantee she will appreciate this one big time. Or buy her some calming tea. Tea has all kind of health benefits, and taking a few minutes to enjoy a cup of tea might be exactly what a stressed out mum needs. Madura Teas have a ton of great options!
The Ethical Person
An increase in social awareness has led to numerous ethical products coming on to the market. Why not sponsor an animal from WWF or Oxfam? Or have you heard of Etiko Sneakers? These kick-ass looking sneakers are organic, fair trade and vegan and take their inspiration from the classic Converse range. Brilliant. It is summer after all so why don’t you grab these Malc&Andi thongs. They are made with 90% natural rubber and 5% natural powder, pigments, and oil content, making them both organic and biodegradable (an ethical person’s DREAM). Best of all, with each purchase 5% is donated to an animal charity. In a way it’s two gifts in one! Spoilt or what?
The Proud Aussie
There are so many great goods manufactured in Australia, all of which will make for great gifts for the passionate Aussie in your life. Of course get a boomerang because nothing says ‘Australia’ quite like a ‘far out’ boomerang. Or if you want to go down a more serious route, pick up some beautiful woodwork for the garden or home from australianwoodwork.
The Sports Fan
Fact: Aussie LOVE their sport. Football, cricket, NRL, rugby union, F1, tennis… the options are virtually endless. So make your sports fan beam from ear to ear, and grab some tickets for the Australian Open or the International Cricket! The footy season might be a few months off, but best to get prepped now. Consider a season ticket or a membership plan for your nearest and dearest. You’ll make great memories every other week (unless you’re an Eels fan!).
The Believers
Look, while we know you’re too cool to still believe, chances are you know someone who does. In case you mislaid their Santa List, we’ve had a ponder over some of the hottest gifts that will be coming down the chimney this festive period. For the little boy who gets up to mischief why not get Pie Face, the game the whole family can get into. All you need are some willing contestants and a nice delicious pie (or wet sponge) to out on hand. We’ll leave you to guess what happens next. Or if you are trying to find a gift for a little princess, you can’t go wrong with My Little Pony Canterlot Castle Playset. It’s still around after all these years – and there’s a reason for that!
