Holiday Gift Guide 2021
Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes
You might be thinking there’s still plenty of time to plan for Christmas, but it doesn’t hurt to shop
early to avoid the logistical issues worldwide likely to disrupt this holiday season. Many online retailers have launched Christmas sales early to minimize the impact of supply chain uncertainties on customers. For instance, the YesStyle K-Beauty Advent Calendar was launched in mid-October this year, and already sold out by November. What’s more, Black Friday deals are guaranteed to be the biggest bargains of the year. As a responsible Santa, now is the time to finalize your list. Take a look below for some practical and affordable Christmas gift ideas!
For Her
1. Yunikon – Chenille Bear Ear Hooded Scarf | 2. Show Mind – Alloy Hair Claw | 3. Parafae – Bobble Striped Knit Beanie | 4. MOGLA – Patterned Socks | 5. Jaguara – Silicone Avocado AirPods Case Jacket | 6. Aneka – Cross Strap Fluffy Slippers | 7. CHARLEY – Petit Perfume Bubble Bath & Body Wash | 8. innisfree – Green Tea Balancing Skin Care Set EX | 9. NEOGEN – Catch Your Perfume Hand Cream Dreamcatcher Edition Set
Show your gratitude to the women in your life by gifting them pretty presents that keep them warm during the winter months. This stocking stuffer list includes a trending cottagecore knit pom beanie and mushroom patterned knit socks. Also on the fuzzy side are a chenille hooded scarf with bear ear accents and fluffy slippers worthy of a PJ party.
Cute accessories are the icing on top for girls who love all things kawaii. This avocado AirPods case jacket doubles as a bag charm, and this golden hair claw would make anyone look instantly more polished.
Beauty-wise, gift sets are a no-brainer. The innisfree Green Tea Balancing Skin Care Set is a no-fail gift, especially if you aren’t sure of the recipient’s skin type. The NEOGEN x Dreamcatcher perfume hand cream set can be gifted as a whole, or split among your besties at a sleepover. Perfumed bubble bath body washes from Japanese brand CHARLEY are both pretty and practical. Available in three scents, the body wash is still 100% usable even if the recipient doesn’t have a bathtub.
For Him
1. Wavecho – Genuine Leather Card Holder | 2. Hat Society – Corduroy Bucket Hat | 3. Follow Me – Square Buckle Faux Leather Belt | 4. SUNMAN – Plain Belt Bag | 5. YAZOLE – Waterproof Strap Watch | 6. Whyessa – Two Way Quilted Coat with Scarf | 7. Foresty – Wooden Desk Calendar | 8. DONGINBI – Red Ginseng Homme Power All-In-One Fluid Special Set | 9. SHINSHIN – Set of 4 Pairs: Plain Socks
If you can’t afford high-end tech gifts, think of accessories from head to toe instead. Leather accessories like card holders, belts and wristwatches are always presentable, especially if they come in a gift box.
To me, the perfect gifts for men should be practical without compromising on style. From quilted coats and corduroy bucket hats to fleece scarfs and knit socks, everything in this list is utility-oriented, even the desk calendar that doubles as home decor. Outdoor gear like tumblers and belt bags are thoughtful gifts that work not just for outdoorsy types but anyone who needs to run errands.
Who says men don’t need skin care? Christmas is the best time to introduce effective grooming essentials to a guy, such as the four-step skin care routine. For the lazier fellas, starting with two steps might be the best approach. This red ginseng skin care set from DONGINBI comprising of a foam cleanser and all-in-one lotion looks sleek and Christmassy.
For Everyone
1. Nicstak – Bubble Cube Candle | 2. Barba – Lettering Canvas Tote Bag | 3. GRAFEN – Edge Finger Shampoo Brush | 4. CHARLEY – Paper Soap | 5. Cute Essentials – 3D Greeting Card | 6. CHARLEY – Fortunate Bath Salt & Powder | 7. Modern Wife – Plain Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask | 8. Thalia – Wooden USB Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser | 9. Cassandra – Glass Tea Set
Sticking with the warm and homey theme, this holiday gift selection includes lots of therapeutic home products, ranging from cute candles and wooden electric diffusers to bath salt packets inspired by Japanese good luck charms and scalp massagers. To encourage my favorite people to stay hydrated at home, I’ve added a glass tea set and a stainless steel vacuum flask to the list.
I’ve also selected some unique gifts for travelers, such as a roomy tote bag with an adjustable faux leather strap and paper soap in different scents and colors. Give your cool gifts a heartwarming finishing touch with an intricately designed 3D greeting card.
