New Delhi: The much-awaited festival during winter is just around the corner. Just a few days hence, and it will be Christmas! With festivals approaching, we love to see a smile on the faces of our near and dear ones and despite our busy schedules, we try our best to spend these occasions with our family.
The tradition of giving Christmas gifts goes down a long way in history. As kids, we eagerly anticipated Santa Clause to come and put something in our stockings the night before Christmas, and the excitement we had when we opened them the following morning, knew no bounds. With time, this custom has evolved, and today we have the concept of 'Secret Santa'!
We have compiled a list of things that you can give as gifts to your friends, colleagues or family and be their secret Santa!
1. A Gourmet Hamper of chocolates and cookies: Add your favourite chocolates- black, white or ruby and also include a number of flavours to make the hamper colourful and delicious. You can also add Christmas candies and lollies as well. In addition to that put some freshly baked cookies to add a personal touch to your hamper. You may top it with a plum cake as well.
2. A polaroid camera for youngsters: Give your child a Polaroid camera so they can capture, preview, and print pictures right away. The budding photographer will take more pictures if they have the option to print them right away. Kids can embellish any image they take with stickers, filters, and borders using these instant cameras, which come with refillable paper films. Additionally, they can use their photos to create drawings for them to colour.
3. Personalised Coffee Mug: Winters and coffee go hand-in-hand. So, this Christmas you may gift a coffee mug to your dear ones with a personalised touch. You may either add their photo or embed a message on the cup. This will indeed make the gift even more memorable.
4. Scented Candles: Scented candles are quite popular these days as they not only look beautiful but also bring a nice vibe to your place. It also makes you feel refreshed as the aroma is so soothing. Lavender or pine-scented candles are a good option for gifting this festive season. Also, Lavender is known to be a good stress-relief ingredient, so it will also help to usher in the new year on a positive note.
5. Photo Frame Collage: This concept has got everyone enthralled and has been popular for quite some time. What better method to preserve someone's favourite memories than to compile them into a photo collage? Print out their favourite photos, then add a patterned background and vibrant clothespins to make the frame uniquely yours.
