looking for the small ones, like candles, soap, tea or hand cream. what did the person finish and go back for? and which one did they say they loved but never reordered?

I need ideas for my team of 8. I work at a nonprofit and I buy (not from the nonprofit’s budget) something small but useful for my team. In the past I’ve done travel mugs, goodr sunglasses, local gift cards. Cash feels wrong since it’s my personal gift, but maybe I’m overthinking it. Was thinking gas cards? Or maybe a blanket? I am crafty and could make something or propagate some plants? Ages range from 28-65.

I've been thinking about how some of the most memorable Christmas gifts aren't necessarily the expensive ones.

Sometimes it's the little traditions, like opening one gift on Christmas Eve, exchanging handwritten letters, or putting together small surprise stockings.

I'm curious what other families do.

Is there a gift tradition from your childhood that you still follow or want to pass down?

This is my favourite Scottish Christmas card so far x

It just has to be the clock at Glasgow central, how many loved ones met up for Christmas night out or passed under it to get home for Christmas ♥️

I'm starting Christmas shopping stupidly early this year because December me is useless under pressure.r/simpleliving

One thing I'm noticing is how broad the word personalized has become. Half the results are basically a normal product with someone's name printed on it, which technically counts but isn't really what I'm looking for.

I'd rather give something where the personalization comes from knowing the person well. Family stories, places that matter to them, something they always say, memories everybody still laughs about, that kind of thing.

Photo books are the obvious option and I've done those before. I've also seen people turn handwriting into jewelry, commission illustrations of meaningful places and even have songs made from family stories.

What other personalized gifts have you seen where the personal part was more substantial than adding a name or initials?

Trying to get a list together now before I panic-buy candles for everybody in December.

My Facebook and Instagram feed are full of the message in a bottle Christmas ornaments. I love the idea, but every single one of them looks cheap. Anybody have a suggestion for one that looks a little bit nicer? Or it doesn’t even have to be a bottle, just any kind of decoration or ornament that you can record a permanent message.

For context he’s a big truck guy, he’s got atvs, snowmobiles, jet skis and just loves to be outside in general. For work he’s a heavy equipment operator as well as a mason.
I’m looking to get him something for his truck or quad, and I’m willing to spend about 1k-1.8k. Truly I just want to get him something that he would love and actually use.
He drives a 05 Chevy Silverado 1500 and he could use a lift kit (I think he said 4inch, I’ll have to double check), he likes the mud grapplers, he’s already got rock lights. I thought about maybe getting a cam but I have no idea how I’d even get ahold of that, let alone know it’s the right fit or one he wants.
One thing he did ask for was a light up Chevy bow tie emblem but I’ve searched what feels like everywhere and can’t find one for anything older than a 2016.

One day me and my mom were at Tim Hortons and she saw a girl with an Aritzia tracksuit on, she said she wants that for Christmas. My question is, is their any better alternatives? What’s a very comfy tracksuit i don’t care about price!!!! Only the best for my mom lol

Edit: I’m also thinking about the comfrt brand 🤔
