Last minute Christmas present suggestions

Are you panicking because you still have some Christmas presents to buy? Maybe you do not even know what to buy. You have an auntie who has everything? A teenager who seems indifferent to everything or who wants a lot of expensive gadgets?

Personally, I think books, food, beverages, and experiences are the best presents to give and to receive.

You can make your own basket filled with food items the receiver likes. For instance, if they like cheese, buy unusual or different kinds of cheese. Add dates, nuts, fig spread, or some fruit. If they like lemon-flavored food, how about lemons, lemon-flavored cookies, Limoncello (Italian lemon liqueur), and lemon olive oil.

A book is almost always appreciated. How about a book that bears their name in the title. If you know they will be travelling soon, how about a book about the place that they are going to or a book by a local author from that area. If they like to cook, then a cook book is the answer. Need to cheer someone up, then Ben Elton is the answer.

Do they have a special interest? How about giving away an experience, such as a cooking course, a chocolate making course, a zip lining session, a massage session, or tickets to a theater or other cultural event.

What about to the teenager then? Yeah, that is hard. Maybe a funny looking USB drive, a clean t-shirt, or a hoodie. They might enjoy a concert as well.

Good luck!
