The holidays are a magical time!
The lights go up across the metroplex, holiday music is playing in almost every store, and your kids are (hopefully) being especially nice while waiting to see what Santa might bring. Not to mention the endless ways Dallas offers to spend time together as a family.
But with Christmas being closer than ever before, the stress of finding that perfect gift for that particular family member begins to mount! If you’re like us, you’re stretching your brain trying to think of something memorable and significant, but all that pops into your head is that same ol’ tie or set of pajamas you gave last year. It’s time to let Dallas Moms Blog help!
Our contributors have come up with a list of gifts that will be perfect for that special type of person you’ve probably torn the malls apart searching for!
For the Techie
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Perfect for anyone who loves to listen to music, movies, or watch their favorite sports games on the go! We can highly recommend a brand like SHARKK® Bluetooth Speakers
Cell Accessories
Shop local and purchase unique cell phone accessories like this Bluetooth POP Phone from Nest on McKinney that will please anyone on your list!
Give a functional conversation starter with the Pursecase as seen on ABC’s Shark Tank. This petite clutch allows you to easily access your phone on your wrist and store essential cards and money in its hidden back pocket.
You can make your gift personal with a custom monogrammed Otterbox phone cases from BoutiqueMe.Net. You choose the colors, patterns, and name or initials!
Got a Techie Kid?
Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 Kit
Every mom and dad should have a iGuy Freestanding Case for iPad
For the Husband
Who Loves to Grill
Give yourself a break in the kitchen and purchase him a Bradley Smoker
Who’s into the Extremes
Do you have a car fan? Texas Motor Speedway offers test-drives with their Total Driving Experience. Bring the family (and your camera), and watch him suit up to zip around the Texas Motor Speedway in 10-20 laps in a Z06 Corvette. Definitely a one-in-a-lifetime gift!
If your man spends any time outdoors, then Maui Jim Banzai sunglasses are a practical Texas gift straight from O’ahu.
For the Extended Family
Memberships
Family memberships to the Perot Museum, Dallas Arboretum, or Sea Life Grapevine Aquarium are all great gifts that provide a year of fun–and they’ll hopefully invite your kids along too!
If you happen to find yourself shopping in Watters Creek, make sure handmade chocolate from Sublime Chocolate makes your gift giving list. Their classic flavors like coconut, truffle, and milk chocolate caramel are an easy gift choice, but it’s their more modern, unique flavors that will make that person on your list feel special. Flavors like Pecan Pie, Pistachio, Passion Fruit, Peppermint Tea, and Turkish Coffee.
Get it Delivered!
Help decorate their homes for the holidays with a Lands End Fresh Green Wreath. Choose from a variety of tree types and have it hand-delivered before Christmas morning. The best part about this gift…when taken care of can be used as a door decoration well into Easter!
Make snack times a little healthier during the holidays with Harry & David. They offer monthly gift subscriptions, but even just a one-time delivery of their deliciously sweet pears and grapefruits would make anyone’s day. And Nuts on Clark from Chicago is another great way to send something special to family members who might not live nearby.
And don’t forget! While you’re shopping away for these great products on Amazon, make sure to check out Becky’s post on ways to save on Amazon through CamelCamelCamel.com
