10 Best New Year Gift Ideas

Pictures always remind us of memories. And we sure like to relive the happy memories of the bygone days. So, we say, start digging in. Look through the old family albums as well as your phones and jot down the most loving pictures. The next step is getting aboard. A wood board, cardboard or an old study board would do! Now what? Start sticking the pictures to the board. You can stick the pictures randomly or in a heart shape. For the special touch, add some colourful ribbons, strips of lights or string lights and your personalised photo board is ready. Now gift it to your family or friends and let nostalgia take over!

Yes yes, we know people have gone all digital and online journals and blogs are the new trends. But, writing journals does have a special sentimental value! Why not bring back the good old habit of writing journals. On that note, we would like to mention bullet journals. Bullet journals come in various shapes, sizes and colours. And the best part is, this is among the new year present ideas that you can use for anyone, be it your friends or family members. Buy a nice looking bullet journal or get a simple one and decorate it yourself and wrap it.

This one never gets old, especially if you have a bookworm on your gift list! Find out the favourite genre of the person you want to buy the book for. In case you are helping someone to build a new reading habit, self-help books are great options. Whatever the genre may be, you need not stick to one book. The more book the merrier (at least that’s what the bookworms believe!). Here’s another idea! Along with the books, buy a few bookmarks as well. They are quite cheap but make for great gifts!

What better way to start the new year than vacationing in a stunning location! Trust us, a vacation will be a great gift! Imagine this. You are at a family gathering on new year’s eve. While everyone is exchanging new year's eve gifts wrapped in colourful paper and bows, you put forward a white envelope. Everyone will be quite surprised! But once they see the flight tickets inside it, how excited they will be! While you plan the whole thing, remember to consider everyone’s likings while selecting the new year destination. Also, if you are planning a vacation for your friends, a road trip will be perfect!

Here comes the perfect new year gift for her (or him), a promise ring! First thing first, buy a ring. You can also go for those couples’ rings! Then, make a list of the promises you want to give your partner. Now when you meet that someone (going on the knees is optional, but it does look dramatic!), read out the promises and then seal the deal with the ring! It’s actually quite a thoughtful gift!

Yes, a plant! Planting trees is a noble task. This new year, plant some trees yourself and ask your loved ones to do the same. Buy a few plants, ask all your family members to meet on the backyard, roof or balcony. Then, hand everyone a sapling and ask them to plant it. This can be a great new year gift for family. Not only will you take part in the noble cause of planting trees but also make sweet memories with your family! For the ones with a green thumb, you can buy some gardening accessories along with plants.

How cool do those neon signs look! Your friends and siblings will love them. You can personalise them with their names or any special quotes. Or you can simply go online and buy the one you like. Also, they come in different colours and shapes. So, before you get one, keep the other person’s taste in mind. These can be hung easily, so you don’t have to worry much about that.

Friends or family, everyone needs skincare products. And that’s why you cannot go wrong with skincare products as new year gifts. Since it’s winter, moisturisers and lip bums are perfect. You can also buy face washes, scrubs, toners and serums. Basically buy a few products, pack them together and voila! A perfect new year gift is ready! You can also find readily available gift packages!

If you have a new year’s party to attend and are searching for a suitable gift, go for an edible arrangement. To be honest, it will be the perfect gift for foodies as well! Thinking about what to put in the edible arrangements? Chocolates, dry fruits, chips, cakes, cookies, food items that can be stored for some time. And, yes, you can make them yourself or buy the readymade ones at the market.

You may have forgotten to buy gifts. You may not know what people will like. You may be unable to decide which gift to buy. Or maybe, there are just too many people on your list! Whatever the situation is, gift vouchers can always save the day! Just get a gift voucher and let the other person buy whatever he or she wants.

Take ideas from this list, buy all the gifts you want and get ready to begin the new year! But remember, at the end of the year, what matters the most are your thoughts and you spending time with your loved ones!
