Left It Late? Check Out These Ideas for Christmas Gifts in Selby
This two-minute read might just be your get-out-of-jail-free card if you’ve left it late to buy Christmas gifts.
A conversation among our team recently made us realise that with just a couple of weeks to go before Christmas Day, most of us still had people to buy gifts for.
So, if you’re in the same situation and need some late/last-minute present inspiration, check out these 15 ideas.
For Her
To pamper – a spa day at a local beauty salon, we have a few to choose from and she might have a favourite or if not, there are lots of lovely people in our area offering all sorts of treatments from nail and beauty through to holistic massages, acupuncture, reflexology, chiropractors etc and we have tried a few and can highly recommend them all. We just don’t have time to treat ourselves as often as we’d like, but if you want a personal recommendation – give us a call.
To relax – a luxuriously scented candle (look at Jo Malone or Temple Spa if you want to push the boat out).
To savour – a chocolate box subscription (Hotel Chocolat is worth a look for the chocolate connoisseur). Personally, I Prefer Dairy Milk but have never tasted anything better than a Terry’s Lime Barrel. Shame they stopped making them.
To de-stress – a shiatsu neck and shoulder massage or any of those mentioned above in the pamper section.
To experiment – The Great British Bake Off latest recipe book or maybe Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook. You might even be rewarded with the tasting of the results.
For Him
The tech lover – a 3-in-1 Apple device charging station. But only if they have an Apple product.
The early riser – a sunrise wake-up light alarm clock.
The fitness fan – an electric mini-massage tool or a gym membership. Just be careful you don’t wound any feelings here.
The thrill-seeker – an experience day – hundreds of options out there, including driving around a racetrack, sailing, or parachuting.
The fan – a personalised video message from a sportsperson or celebrity. Possibly not the best time to get a season ticket.
For the Home
As estate agents, no last-minute list from us would be complete without five gifts you can buy for people to use in their homes.
A marble desk organiser.
A customised house portrait.
Personalised coasters.
Frame a favourite photo.
Hardback coffee table books – National Geographic’s Destinations of a Lifetime or perhaps one featuring Selby. I have asked for a copy of the new book celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee.
And remember, when we shop locally in Selby, we make a big difference to our community.
Where will you be doing your last-minute gift buying?
