Give away time
Common time is one of the most precious gifts. Unfortunately, in everyday stress we often forget to take time for the things that are really important. Therefore, my absolute favorite present is to give one's own time to a loved one. Be it mom, dad, partner or best friend. Examples: Discovering a new city together, a wellness day, a day out with delicious food, etc.
Nice to stay warm and cuddle
Which woman does not always freeze? Therefore, a nice oversized cashmere scarf is a great gift for any woman! It keeps you warm at the Christmas market or makes an evening on the sofa much more cozy and cuddly.

Photo book: give away beautiful memories
Every Christmas the same challenge: What will I give back to my dear parents? They have everything and do not want anything new, taking away space and standing around. Their grandchildren love them over everything and because they also love photos, I have been giving a self-designed photo book, with pictures from last year, for several years now. This is already a tradition, always comes back well and does not consume so much space in the apartment. Every year it can be creative and redesigned, a great thing! It likes to be taken off the shelf again and again all year long, and to be remembered in old memories.
Men's gift: pocket knife
I read it in a tip on TheFruitAndFlowerBasket.com first, (if you're still looking for tips and suggestions for a real men's gift, you can read it here.) Then the wish actually came from my husband this year: "I could use a pocket knife again? , Nothing easier than that. The biggest problem with the selection, it's huge. Of course it should be a classic red original Swiss Army knife. I chose the Victorinox Huntsman (red).
Woman is always happy about flowers!
I live very far away from my family and that does not make giving presents any easier. Last year I came up with the idea to surprise my sister-in-law and my sister at Christmas with a flower delivery. For some years I had picked out a flower delivery store for birthdays, which has always been reliable and offers very nice as well as attractively priced goods. I think it's a very nice way to use this for Christmas, as the recipient is less expected with a bouquet of favorite flowers. Small gifts and greetings can also be sent. My mother-in-law will receive a small, decorated Christmas tree this year as she has not wanted to raise and decorate herself since she's living alone. In addition a bottle of sparkling wine, decorated with the photo of her grandchildren and personal greetings.

Plaster print with Christmas motive as a great souvenir
Since my grandmother is crazy about my son, I like to give her everything that has to do with him or remind her of him. This time I made the plaster and handprints of my son from plaster for her. I gave the last plaster casts of his little feet and hands to my grandmother when my son was still a baby. Now he's gotten bigger, as well as his hands and feet. Therefore, I thought, it would be a great idea to refresh this memory with a new one. The foot and plaster prints can also be painted as a snowman or as a Santa Claus with colorful colors!
More practical through everyday life with a language assistant
As a practical gift for my brother and his own little family this year, I intend to give away a language assistant. I personally have a LG WK7 ThinQ Speaker with integrated Google Assistant at home. The loudspeaker is a real all-rounder, which fulfilled the wishes of us and our child in a very short time.
My husband and I like to listen to music. Music streaming through the device is unlimited and super easy to control. When cooking, I ask Google to play my playlists from the Spotify account. I also often ask for new recipes and let myself be inspired with unusual ideas. At Christmas time, after work, my husband likes to hear Christmas carols. Again, the Google Assistant has immediately the right thing. By voice command our son can also enjoy his children's songs or ask when it finally snowing.
In addition, the intelligent speaker always informs me about upcoming appointments, for my husband he summarizes the news in the morning and all "why" questions of our son are answered.With its help, I can also activate and operate other smart home devices in my house by voice control, such as the lighting or the heating control.
Give away sweet dreams with a dream catcher
My mom loves colorful, decorative accessories, which also have their own meaning. That's why I come this time to the following idea: I make for her a dream catcher with beautiful, colored glass beads, natural stones and ribbons! The pearls as well as the pierced natural stones can be attached not only in the middle of the net as a central point or in between, but also decorate the thin ribbons. Then, wide colored ribbons and thin decorated ribbons can be attached to the ring or elsewhere in the net. There are no limits to the imagination! Such a creative, loving gift will definitely inspire and delight my mom. The dream catcher will protect and accompany her in her dreams!

Money as a Christmas present
This year I've been thinking that I'll give my son a Christmas card with money in it, because he can choose something for himself. I think that if he is allowed to choose and buy his own gift, he will appreciate it much more and pay more attention to it than if I buy him something he did not really want from his heart. A day in the shopping center is always an adventure for him and so he can even browse the shops and decide what he wants to invest the money. At TheFruitAndFlowerBasket, there are many great tips on how to creatively gift money gifts.
Perfume for the girlfriend
My girlfriend and I have decided that we will not give each other anything big and expensive for Christmas. I know their perfume taste and they know mine, so we give each other just a perfume: None of us goes out without a gift and we do not need to stress and spend hours thinking about what to buy the other as a gift.
