Tis the season for gift giving

Gift ideas for everyone in the family

Halls are decked with lights of all colors. Stars sit atop the highest of trees. Dinner tables are set to hold mounds of holiday food, and all roads lead to home. With just five days before Christmas, everyone waits with enthusiasm for when they can finally open the gifts that have been lying around.

Whether it was a year full of triumphs or failures, the people who have always been by your side deserve to know that you appreciate them. The thought is what counts, and presents, both simple and grand, will surely make them feel that they hold a special place in your life.

If you haven’t ticked everyone on your list yet, don’t worry! You don’t have to step out of your house to get your hands on these, in time for your family’s Kris Kringle!

1. For the working mom

There’s no room for scrimping when it comes to the most important woman in your life! The working mom bears all late nights and early mornings to give you the best in this world, and she certainly deserves the same thing. These gift ideas for her serve as a reminder that while she is the boss everyone looks up to, she still manages to see each milestone you achieve.

2. For the dapper dad

Before strands of silver slowly lined his crowning glory, he was once the dashing debonair that made the ladies swoon during his hey-day. Need verification? Ask mom next time. Though time may have added a few pounds and signs of aging to his physique, make him feel that he’s still got the swank with these:

3. For the sporty brother

Whether your best bro is a professional athlete or just another gym buff, support his road to a healthy lifestyle with apparel and accessories that will help him move in style. Mere fans of athleisure count too!

4. For the stylish sister

There may be times when you don’t get along, but you know deep down that you’re lucky to have her as your sister! You always catch her browsing the latest make-up trends, donning a dainty dress, and maybe even stealing your denim jackets. Stuff her stocking with items she will definitely not stop thanking you for!

5. For the cool tita

Love her or hate her, you can’t deny that she can pass as your family’s version of Kris Jenner or Mrs. George. She’s the tita who tries to learn millennial lingo, goes to her kids’ recitals in white sneakers, sees her amigas every weekend for a Zumba session and parties with the rest of your cousins. Who knows, you may be her next favorite once you put these under her tree.

6. For the traveling tito

He’s the one you look forward to seeing in reunions every year because of the stories he has to tell. He’s probably seen half of the world already and tries to convince your parents to let you go on your dream solo trip. His house is adorned with mug, magnet, or a soda’s bottle collection. Greet him a bon voyage for the year to come with jetsetter essentials.
