With the holidays upon us, shoppers everywhere are once again agonizing over what to get their family and friends. While holiday shopping once consisted of a necktie for Dad, a comfy robe for Mom and some toys for the kids, today’s holiday shopping list is much more complicated than that. What gifts to buy people is certainly a #FirstWorldProblem!
Each and every family or circle of friends has its own unique identity, and each member within those groups is his or her own individual. For those with a holiday shopping list on which no two people are the same, consider the following gift ideas to ensure everyone on your list enjoys a happy holiday season.
The Techie
What do you get your gadget-obsessed friend or relative this year? Oftentimes, when it comes to gifting a tech-savvy relative, it helps to go with something new.

The Busy Woman On-the-Go
Today’s woman is busier and more on-the-go than ever before. And “Fit Bits,” or similar activity trackers, are on point. People become obsessed with keeping track of their steps-per-day, the activity, and even their sleep patterns on these little devices that can be worn 24-7. Check out the designs and options of the most popular brand: Fit Bit.
The Wine Lover
Few hobbies taste as good as developing an affinity and knowledge of the wines of the world. With their masses growing, wine connoisseurs have now infiltrated families everywhere. This holiday season, you could give your wine loving family or friend a gift certificate to a “make-your-wine” place. An LCBO gift-card is always a great option which would pair nicely with an engraved set of wine glasses! AND a wine lovers Christmas ornament – sounds like a great wine-themed gift basket in the making!

The Foodie
Everyone is a food critic but some people are serious at-home chefs. Maybe you know one? What do you get the chef-de-cuisine foodie gourmand? Do they need another recipe book? Probably not! Don’t we all get our recipes from Pinterest now anyway? What about some fun kitchen gadgets?!? Things that no everyone has, unique items like a spiral slicer or a micoplane. These are not essential kitchen tools but they can make cooking even more fun for the foodie!
Customers and Clients
Of course, no holiday shopping list is complete without customers and clients. The holiday season is a time for businesses to show just how much they appreciate their customers and clients, and how much they look forward to working with them in the year ahead.
A popular option if you run your own business or have regular clients who you want to recognize during the holidays season, is gift basket. Some local cheese shop or chocolate stores will put together gift baskets at various price-points full of goodies that you can then deliver to your clients during the holiday season. That’s a good way to recognize their support throughout the year. We offer a few options that can be personalized for your special clients. Here are three top ideas:
