Christmas Gifts for Millennials
Leaving it at that, for sure everyone also has a millennial person to cheer up this holiday season. After all, the millennials are said to comprise the biggest bulk of today’s population. If the touted millennial demographic is right, these young people have a clear picture of the kind of Christmas gifts they want.
It’s perhaps part of their “feeling entitled” that millennials do expect to get a gift. And perhaps potential gift-givers want to give their favorite millennials something that will really delight them – something any young person these days want. If the gift-giver himself or herself is a millennial too, the choice of gift is easy.
The problem is when the giver and the recipient are generations apart. To lessen the possibility of a ‘miss’, Randy Mazzella at www.thespruce.com believes it is now high time to research the right gifts, for millennials in particular. And giftgivers will find good help in Massella’s ideas on what to give the millennial in one’s life:
Technology Gifts and Accessories. From Apple watches to iPods to an Amazon Echo, young people would love to receive tech gifts. Tech accessories such as Bose or Skullcandy headphones, or GoPro camera or Bluetooth speaker or portable phone chargers or mini speakers are also good options. For some lower cost tech items, cell phone cases or laptop covers are good gifts.
Sporting Equipment. Workout clothes, small weights and fitness smartwatches are all great gifts for young people who have put staying fit on their New Year’s resolution list.
Money or Gift Cards. Gift cards to places like the famous coffee shops or shopping centers are always highly appreciated gifts. And if all else fails, there’s nothing like cash or a check to help out a young person’s bank account.
Experiences. Show tickets, tickets to sporting events or spa certificates are all great gifts for young people and great ways to set a date to spend time together after the holidays are over.
Board Games. Board games never go out of style. Some good choices for young adults include classics like “Monopoly,” “Risk” and “Scattegories” or the popular “Cards Against Humanity,” “Loaded Questions” or “Apples to Apples.”
Cold Weather Goodies. Especially at this time of the year, cold weather accessories will be much appreciated. A cool mug and some gourmet cocoa for a gift will keep the recipient warm through the cold season. If the giver knows the size of the recipient’s size, a warm pair of boots is a good gift. Fun accessories such as hats, gloves, earmuffs, fluffy socks or a cozy fleece blanket are nice gift options too.
Household Items. Whether for those who live in a dorm or in their own apartment, household items make great and practical gifts for young people. Coffee drinkers will appreciate a singleserve coffee maker. Popcorn poppers or water filters are other gifts that can be used all year long.
Food. Young people would be thrilled to receive a gift of food. Food gifts from restaurants may now be delivered right to the recipient’s door. From cupcakes, bagels, to BBQ, there’s a lot of options on what to give.
Subscription Boxes. These are a great way to extend the holiday season beyond January. These boxes can contain a wide variety of goodies including cosmetics, sweet treats, and accessories. Subscriptions range in duration and price, so there are options for different budgets. If a monthly food subscription is preferred, one may arrange with a pizza and cookie store.
