THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT OF ALL: YOUR TIME It is the most precious and most highly appreciated of all, at least IMHO.

YOUR SKILLS/SERVICES Offering a skill you possess to someone you know could use it, takes the gifting of your time to the next level.

PAMPERING SESSION Pampering sessions, especially massages, make a wonderful gift because they improve your physical and mental wellbeing, releasing feel-good hormones, like oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine.

BABYSITTER Has one of your relatives or friends just become a parent or is about to? Are you looking for a gift for the baby shower, birth or first birthday of a little one?

(ECO-FRIENDLY) WEEKEND GETAWAY Not only new parents will appreciate a weekend get-away. Even better if the getaway introduces them to a unique, ecofriendly, or unusual location or property.

When was the last time they’ve slept in a tree house, a yurt, a tiny house or an off-grid earth ship?

TRAVEL ACCESSORIES Speaking of travel… Whether a day hike, a weekend get-away or a backpacking trip around the world, travel accessories are not only practical but are gifts that keep on giving… trip after trip after trip.

EXPERIENCES Want to add something really special to that weekend get-away or RTW trip? Why not gift an activity that allows the recipient to experience something they wouldn’t normally do due to time or money constraints?

PHOTO OR VIDEO SHOOT Whether it be for a wedding of a loved one or simply to create a special memory for another occasion, a professional photo or video shoot could make a great present.

LESSONS Receiving a voucher for a give-it-a-go type experience can determine if you like that particular experience enough to take it up as a hobby.

EBOOK/S Rather than adding another book to an already full shelf, consider gifting an eBook – an electronic book that can be read on a tablet, mobile phone or eBook reader.

GIFT CARD A gift card or voucher with a set value from a specific shop or business used to be the last resort type of present when you didn’t know what to gift.

MEMBERSHIPS Professional memberships are not cheap, but they can really further someone’s career. So, if your (grand)child has recently graduated from university and considers joining a professional association, paying for the first year (or annual) membership could be the professional boost they need.

It may also show them you believe in them and want them to succeed.

ANCESTRY DNA KIT Speaking of supporting someone’s journey… A DNA kit may not be the most obvious gift, but as we are getting older, we tend to become more interested in learning more about our background. By that time, our older relatives may not be around anymore. So, how do we find out more about our family history?

CHARITY DONATION While this is the last one on my list, it is another of my favorites.

A nice side-effect: charity donations are tax-deductible in most countries.
