How to pick out great Christmas gifts

I love giving Christmas gifts a lot more than receiving them. Is that weird? I get a kick out of seeing a loved one’s reaction when they open their presents – it’s one of the reasons why I adore this time of year! I mean besides baby Jesus, Christmas gifts are the best part of the festive season!

According to experts (*cough* – me, according to me) a really great Christmas gift has to meet at least one of these three requirements:

1. It must hold sentimental value
2. It must be something the person would definitely use (practical)
3. It must be something that would suite the gift receiver (I call it the “this made me think of you” factor)

This year, I tried to apply my strategy while choosing gifts for my family. I’ve done my research and found a couple of fabulous Christmas gift ideas on Superbalist. My family will  love these!For the kids

Superbalist’s range of kids’ fashion is SUPERB (see what I did there). I spotted the most stunning crossbody bags for little girls on the website. They come in a variety of colours and will make for such a pretty Christmas gift. I would definitely fill it with lip glosses and girly things, to make it extra special. Find it here.

My boys are superheroes crazy. They would absolutely love these character metal drink bottles. I also spotted a really cool My First Magnet Set from Edu-Science. Your kids can use this to experiment with cause and effect. It includes various games and activities. Find it here.For the teens

Buying gifts for my teens can be a tad bit harder because, well, first of all, I’m not a millionaire.

But also – what do teens even want these days? Well, I found just the thing! I absolutely adore these bright-coloured Skull Candy wireless headphones. They are such a cool yet practical gift. The headphones are collapsible, they use Bluetooth wireless tech and they have up to 22 hours of battery life! How impressive is that? Find it here.

Another really great Christmas gift idea, which definitely ups the sentimental factor, is an Instax mini camera kit. Superbalist stocks a great range of Instax products. I especially love the camera kits. They usually come with a camera case, film, batteries, and even a camera strap. Find it here.

For him

If you’re wondering what to get that special man in your life for Christmas, you need to check out Superbalist’s range of Fossil, Casio and Daniel Wellington (and more) watches.

I love the spunky Adidas Originals and Puma timepieces. The classic Fossil watches are always a firm favourite. Of course, if your man wants to up his wrist game, he would love to have an Armani Exchange timepiece on his arm. This is probably something that he would never splurge on, but definitely the type of gift that I would like to spoil him with. Find it here.If all else fails, why not pop on over to the Superbalist website and purchase an e-gift for your loved one? You can purchase a Superbalist gift voucher on the website, and have it emailed directly to your loved one. Or, simply print the voucher, and tuck it into a card. Easy peasy.
