December is an extreme sport, especially for the wallet, but when it comes to the characters in our lives, the last thing we think about is money. We want to go back to Santa Claus so much, just to see him happy, but along with the desire, comes confusion. What gifts should we give?
We could easily ask Chat GPT, but that dulls the enjoyment of the process and above all insults your imagination. How else can Chat know what your friend who only complains wants?
However, we are making a simple guide for you, based on the types of characters we have around us.
1. "The friend who says she doesn't need gifts, but gets offended if you don't get her anything"
Profile: Minimalist. Until the gift arrives. Then: “how I’ve always wanted this!”
A super-aesthetic journal that you'll never fill up. Or a very elegant candle that you can only light for special occasions.
2. "The college that seeks rest, detox, tranquility, escape from everything"
She's always tired. From everything. From life. Even from you, a little. Maybe she's waiting for a plane ticket, but we're sure she'd hug you tighter if you bought her a new IQOS device as a Christmas present, since she's a smoker and is thinking about switching to a better alternative.
3. The cousin who sees herself as a character from 'Emily in Paris'
Profile: Lives in Tirana, but mentally is in Paris drinking cappuccino with Pierre. What to get him? Beret hat. Floral chic perfume. Or a pair of pajamas so he can continue watching TV series. :)
4. The one who doesn't like anything!
Nothing is ever enough for him. He won't even want a gift, but you certainly won't leave him without anything. Get a philosophical book that he probably won't read, but he'll find himself intellectual enough. Black socks (he never makes a mistake).
Or a chic IQOS device if he/she is a smoker and is looking for a better alternative.
5. The mom who says 'don't bring me anything' and then says "just don't think about me"
Mom, the selfless character who, around mid-December, decides not to book at all. As she sees you packing for others, she begins with her own special irony. To cut it short: Get something for the house that she will only use when people come over. Or a good lipstick.
6. The friend who is always 'on a wellness journey'
Profile: Drinks matcha, keeps a yoga mat in the car, and even speaks "holistically."
What to get her: A water bottle that screams "I go to pilates." A set of candles with scents that only she understands.
7. Mommy to be friend
You probably have one in your group. Buy him an Ebook so he knows what to expect. He'll appreciate it. Save the expensive gift for when the baby arrives.
However, we have another suggestion for every occasion. You can end December with nothing but hugs, or in other words, emotional funds.
