Christmas is that time of year where families get together and friends spend time playing games like “Secret Santa.” However, shopping for gifts can become incredibly stressful around the holidays. The biggest question one usually has around this time of year is “what do I get them?” Luckily for you, I have gathered the top 5 most popular and wanted Christmas gifts for the 2023 season.
1. Shoes
Everyone has been craving over the famous UGG boots once again, and Jordan’s have been selling out left and right. Specifically, the UGG Disquette Slipper is the style that everyone has been dying for recently. For Jordan’s, any original Jordan 1 will do you the trick. There are multiple colorways that can be picked based on what your gift recipient is into. Whether your loved one is a sneakerhead or not, shoes are always a necessity in one’s life and you can’t go wrong with buying a nice pair for them.
2. Cameras
With digital and disposable cameras rising back to fame, more and more people are interested in owning their own. If you are interested in cameras that require film, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 and Polaroid Now Generation 2 i-Type is the perfect fit for you. However, if you are interested in digital cameras, the Camkory FHD 1080p Digital Camera is an affordable yet high quality camera you can buy for your friend or family member.
3. Legos
Whether you’re five or fifty-five, Legos are an incredibly fun activity to do with your friends or by yourself. Although it can be on the pricey side, there are countless different types of Legos including Lego Architecture, Lego City, Lego Friends, Lego Marvel, and many more. Whatever your loved one is interested in, there will most likely be a lego set that corresponds with it. While building the masterpiece is fun on its own, the final product is a great touch to any living space in one’s house. It allows children to build fine motor skills, and adults to travel back in time to their childhood.
4. Electronics
Electronics have evolved tremendously across the past decade. Currently, the new electronic obsession is the new Apple Airpods Max, Apple’s first new headphone. When asked why the Airpod Max’s are so popular, junior Shreya Shah (11) says, “I feel that they are a lot harder to lose and are overall better when it comes to sound quality.” Another popular device by Apple is their Macbook Air, which could be perfect for your soon to be graduate in your life. If your loved one is a gamer, the PS5 or the new Xbox series X|S will be a perfect fit for them.
5. Gift Cards
If in the end there is nothing that really catches your eye as a present for your family or friend, a gift card can never go wrong. You can take into consideration their favorite stores, for example Target or Sephora. There could also be popular clothing brands that your loved one shops from a lot, like Pacsun or Tilly’s. The most popular type of gift card is from Amazon, since you can buy absolutely anything off the site. Overall, if you do not want to restrict them to one store, you could always buy a Visa gift card that can be used anywhere, whether it is online or not.
Whether the gift is ten dollars or a hundred dollars, the thought and consideration behind the gift is what counts when it comes to gift giving this holiday season.
