With ‘on sale’ signs adorning tons of shops coupled with online flash sales, it is easy to get sucked into this wave. But the good thing is that you have some time to plan and get a gift that your loved one would appreciate. Whether you need Christmas gifts for her or something for your kid, do not wait until the last minute. Here are some cool gifts to bring a smile to the faces of those you love:

For Young Kids

More often than not, shopping for kids is easy. They have probably told you what they want for the holidays every day for the past few months. But that is not to say that you cannot get creative in the gift-giving. Add something to that long-awaited gift.

A Smartwatch

With technology developing at a fast pace, kids have had to catch up, as have adults. With this gadget, they can not only tell time but also take cool videos to share with friends. Plus, wearing a watch makes them feel like grown-ups. Yes, they have finally made it.

Robot Toys

Tons of toys interact with body motions. Get your child one of these and watch them expand their creative abilities.

For College Students

Being away for school can have a toll on a young adult. What can you get your child to bring them back to the fold?

A utility bag

Having too many bags is not a problem. But lacking one with enough pockets for that road trip can be the start of a frustrating journey. Add to their collection of many bags by adding yet another backpack. They will think of you when they drive across state lines next semester.

A mini-fridge

Dorm rooms are pretty squeezed, and fitting anything more than a bed and study desk is hard. But that does not mean there won’t be days when your child will thirst for a cold drink. And instead of having to walk out of the room to get some ice cubes, how about a mini-fridge? Plus, it will come in handy in storing veggies, meds, and other perishable goods.

For Teenagers

Does anyone know what teenagers want? Do they? Well, shopping for teens can be hard. From the dull stares, you get for getting a dorky gift to the eye rolls on Christmas morning, the holidays are tough times for parents. But there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

Wireless headphones

Teens love blocking out the noise and getting into their music. With these wireless headphones, this should be an easy task. 

An external battery

Teens love their phones. They spend hours on end, bent over staring at their screens, unaware of the world around them. With this usage, their batteries drain at fast rates. An extra battery will have you looking like the doting parent, and it could earn you a smile- fingers crossed.

For Women

Shopping for women is more about showing that you understand and care for them. The gift should speak volumes of your regard for her. So be careful, because getting this wrong could earn you years of penance.

Instant Tea

Some women barely have time for themselves. When they are not busy running after toddlers, they are handling late reports and picking up dry cleaning. Instant tea would do them good. They can do away with the need for brewing without compromising on the quality of the taste.

Water Bottle

This container works in two ways: it can keep liquids fresh, or it can keep them hot. Get a bottle that does not retain flavors, as this can lead to an aftertaste.

For Men

Men often complain about being forgotten during the holidays. People expect them to give, but few remember to gift them. Well, do not be one of those non-gifting recipients this year.

A hoodie

No matter how old a man is, a hoodie is always a welcome idea. Not only is it warm, but it is also practical and can hold tons of things.

A goofy T-shirt

You can come up with the saying or get one online. With something witty written on the front or back, he will not have trouble seeing the fun in it.

Being a cool gift-giver lies in knowing your recipient. Do your research, and everything will work out as planned. All the best!
