With the holiday season just around the corner, we are scrambling to find the perfect present for our loved ones. If your family and friends are anything like mine, this can be the most stressful part of the holiday season. However, there are some generic ideas that you can get your loved ones that they will enjoy. 

Here is a holiday gift guide for this year: 

Women: 

Women are very easy to shop for even though we may not tell you exactly what we want. There are some basic gifts that most women would love to receive. 

• Leggings

• Fuzzy socks 

• Bath bombs

• Lotion 

• Face wash 

• Shoes 

• Jewelry 

• Coffee mugs 

• Water bottles with a unique design 

• Blankets 

Men: 

Men are typically the most difficult people to shop for. If the men in your life are similar to mine, you will notice that if they need or want something, they go out and buy it themselves. I always find it difficult to think of unique and clever gift ideas for my dad, brother, uncles and boyfriend. However, there are some basic gifts you can get for the men in your life.

• Cologne 

• Coffee 

• Travel mugs 

• Facial hair kit (Scrub, lotion, oil, brush) 

• Wallet 

• Watch 

• Hats 

• Speaker 

• Drinking glasses 

Anyone: 

If you are absolutely lost for what to get someone for the holiday season, there are popular items that anyone would be happy to receive. These items are simple and can be found almost anywhere: 

• Sweatshirts 

• Loungewear 

• Gift cards 

• Socks 

• Board games 

• Phone cases 

• Charging station 

• Candy/food 

When making your shopping list for the holiday season, consider these items for the loved ones in your life. Keep in mind how difficult it is to shop for others when someone asks what you want for the holidays. Keep a lookout for deals that stores will be having and find the perfect gift for those in your life!
