Unique Christmas Ideas for Your Friends

christmas gift ideas

Christmas is around the corner, and you still don’t have gifts for everyone on your friend list? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! This quick guide will help you find something for your friends in no time. 

Let’s take a look. 

#1. Custom socks

Who doesn’t love a good, customized sock? You can load up your design on a print-on-demand service’s website that creates direct to garment print socks and have them deliver your Christmas gift. As for the design, you can choose something meaningful, a cartoon they watched growing up, an inside joke, or a quote from their favorite musician or a TV show. 

#2. Scented candles

You can almost never go wrong with scented candles. There are so many fragrances to choose from, like vanilla, pumpkin spice, or even coconut. Depending on what your friend likes, you can purchase a scented candle for them. A combo pack of different fragrances is ideal since they can use it around the house. 

#3. Cool night lights

Night lights aren’t just for kids. A lot of people have begun to use night lights as part of their decor in their house or as a showpiece on their nightstand. You can also think about getting some cool LED lights that can be stuck all around the ceiling that they might enjoy. You can also add additional decors and ornaments for PolarX Ornaments for a complete Christmas vibe.

#4. Name necklace

Nothing says “personalized” like jewelry with someone’s name on it. There are many brands that offer this option to customize their necklaces by adding a name or a word that means something to you. You can also customize the fonts in some cases, and it makes for a good gift for your friend(s). 

#5. Custom neon sign

If your friend recently started a business, a custom neon sign is a good way to show your support. Like with the name necklaces, you can choose the word, color and font size, and style and have it shipped to them. 

#6. Mini beauty refrigerator

If you’ve got a skincare expert in the mix, then they will truly appreciate a mini fridge. They can store their face serums, jade roller, face masks, and more in the personal fridge instead of using the family fridge or a common fridge. 

#7. Pet portrait necklace

Another necklace idea that you may want to think about is engraving the name of your friend’s pet or even a photo and gifting them that. All pet parents love any chance they have of showing off their pet, so your friend group should appreciate this idea.

#8. Creative picture frame set

Although we lead predominantly digital lives, picture frames still adorn the walls of our houses. A creative picture frame set can be a fun home decor gift idea. Since Christmas is about sharing memories with your loved ones, you can add a photo of you and your friend in the frame.  

#9. Gratitude journal

The general belief is that the happiest people are the people who express gratitude for what they currently have instead of worrying about things they don’t. A gratitude journal is a good way to express what you are grateful for and serves as a reminder to count your blessings. You can either purchase a gratitude journal that has prompts or take a regular journal and turn it into a gratitude journal. 

#10. Wine subscription

Does your friend appreciate fine wine? A wine subscription might be the perfect gift for them. A lot of subscription boxes send the recipient a couple of bottles of great wine with tasting notes and what to expect so that they can educate themselves while enjoying the wine. 

#11. DIY meal subscription

If one of your friends loves to cook but is always pressed for time, a DIY meal subscription plan may be the answer. DIY food kits come with all the ingredients pre-measured, and you only get as many ingredients as you need, so there is no food wastage. This is also a good idea if they are planning to eat better but don’t know where to start.

#12. Matching bracelets

If you’re on the lookout for something for your BFF, a matching bracelet set may be exactly what you need. You can either have each other’s name engraved on it or the date you became friends or a quote or words that mean something to the both of you. Another idea is to add the lyrics of your favorite song on your bracelet and have it continue on your friend’s bracelet.

Wrapping up

Think about what your friend likes and their personality to match them to a gift that will mean something to them and hold value at the same time. Depending on what their goals are or what they are passionate about, you can find something that they will genuinely appreciate and strengthen your bond in the process.
