Gift Ideas That Will Brighten Up Your Inner Child!*
If you’re rushing to buy year-end gifts for yourself, you’re in luck. The period after Christmas and before New Year is full of massive discounts and sales all over. So, in case you have gifted everyone but yourself, it’s time to get yourself a little something. We’ve all spent a long, challenging year trying to do our best, so why not treat ourselves for all the good work? It was us who got through each day, after all! It also helps that these sales are available online, so you don’t have to deal with yet another exhausting outing during the holiday season! Today, we’re going to help you shortlist a few gifting ideas to get yourself that are light on the pocket but bring the same childish excitement out of you.
- New Gaming Accessories: If you’re a gamer and love to spend your time exploring the PlayStation or other VR games, there are plenty of gifts you can get yourself. For starters, LED or touch-based keyboards for your arcade, and VR glasses are trending among gamers. Get yourself one of these (or all three) to make playing more exciting and add to your collection of toys that can be proudly shown off to others like you!
- Geeky Collectibles: Why not pick up a geek t shirt that supports your favourite fandom? A personal favourite for me is picking up a star wars tshirt to wear on my next trip to Galaxy’s Edge. Doppamine dressing is a thing so get out there and pick up some nerdy clothes that truly represent who you really are.
- Traditional Mexican Chocolate Pot: If you share our incessant love for chocolate and all things decadent, this conventional Mexican chocolate pot is one of the best gifts for chocolate lovers that we can think of. Not only is this ritualistic vessel considered an entire experience, but it has also quickly become the talk of the town in 2021, with multiple celebrities raving about the amazing hot chocolate that can be prepared using this set. The cinnamon and nutty undertones will make your inner child reach chocoholic paradise!
- Star Wars Legos: Lego is one innovative company meant for not just kids but also adults. We’ve witnessed our own share of Lego fans losing it over their limited edition sets for Batman. Similarly, they have now come up with a Star Wars edition that could be yours this holiday season. The Toycraft and Ultimate Star Wars sets look absolutely stunning with spectacular details. It would be an exciting experience to bring out your inner child and put these together!
- A Book of Recipes: If you love to cook, what’s better than adding to your skills? Cook up a storm by getting yourself a book that covers recipes from new cuisines. It is always a fun experience to cook for ourselves and acts as a self-love ritual of nourishment. If you loved being served hot meals for comfort, this book would help you learn many more ways to please your inner child’s belly.
- Reiki Session: Spirituality and self-care often go hand in hand, and we all need a quick tune-up from time to time. Since the last two years have been highly stressful and challenging for all of us, there are bound to be energetic blockages along the meridians of the body. This can add up to depression, anxiety, or pent-up emotions if not addressed early on. Amp up your self-care regime and book yourself a reiki healing session to clear out all such blockages. Reiki therapy has shown significant improvements in people who have injuries, phobias, suppressed grief, and many experiences that cause a negative impact on our health. We’re sure that you will benefit from this little gift you give to yourself just before the year ends so that you can start 2022 afresh.
- A New Astrophotography Lens: Being a geek is not just limited to loving games and books. Many people love astronomy and have a hobby of capturing images from space. Well, if this is one of your favorite things to do, get yourself a new lens for your astrophotography camera! We’re recommending this idea because this is the perfect season to capture stunning night lights and planetary phenomena.
- Perfumes and skincare kits: It doesn’t matter whether you’re a man or woman; everyone needs a little R&R. Gift yourself a skincare kit that will help you get smoother and dewy skin this winter. As we age, our skin’s elasticity and regeneration capacity become limited. Get a skincare set that performs all the functions to repair and replenish your skin so that you spend the rest of the year glowing.
- Vintage Game Collections: If you started gaming very early in life and are a millennial, you’d probably have an attachment to the good old days. Revive those memories by gifting yourself a vintage game collection and hold on to your memories while making new ones!
- Spa Session: Need time to relax but simply can’t catch a break? Well, a session at the spa will help take out a lot of the fatigue you’re feeling. Book a spa day out and take yourself on a date with lunch, followed by your favorite massage or facial. Not only will you realize how much you needed this, but you’ll also thank us!
- Solo Trip: If budget is not a problem for you, we suggest that you take the weekend to travel solo. A little time alone is always healthy, especially as this year comes to an end. Treat yourself to a fabulous trip out, or take a road trip if you’re on a limited budget. Either way, this is the time off you can take to destress and regroup before diving into the following year’s commitments.
Wrapping Up:
Gifting others is easier than gifting yourself because you barely feel the pinch of a budget. However, sometimes it is good to remind yourself to deliver the same kindness to yourself as you do for others. We hope that you give yourself something amazing for making it past this year because you deserve the absolute best!
