ALT-4 Gift Ideas for any Occasion
Whether it be for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries or you just feel like sharing the love, coming up with ideas for gifts can be difficult sometimes, especially if they seem to have it all! Also, there's hundreds of lists out there which give you vague answers and which don't actually help you. But there is a solution; after reading this list of present ideas, you will at the very least have an inkling of where to start...
1. Tao© Digital Photo Keychain *thoughtful*
This is something which I have recently bought for my boyfriend, and it didn’t fail to live up to my expectations. Working on exactly the same principal as a digital photo frame but in miniature, all you have to do is upload your favourite photos and they will be displayed as a slideshow on the keychain. It’s a simply adorable little product which has a better quality display than many of its competitors. It’s a tiny photo album which you can take with you anywhere, and a brilliant little gift. And I bought it for £9.99 (approx. $15); what a bargain!
2. Nintendo© Mini Classics *fun*
Also a keyring, but one which (quite literally) packs a punch! Available in Mario’s Cement Factory, Donkey Kong Junior or Super Mario Bros, these mini games can be taken anywhere and played endlessly. For all those lovers of retro games, childhood memories or simply those who love to play any game (i.e. those pesky children!), these keyrings will never fail to please. Priced at around £10 (approx. $15), it is definitely worth the investment for the hours of fun gained. Go on, unleash the child within…
3. Experience days *timeless*
No doubt you will have heard of these, but have you ever tried them? They are a wonderful present as they are brilliant for people who have everything and leave you with wonderful memories. There is something for everyone, including supercar/truck/tank driving, paintballing, spa weekends, romantic getaways, skydiving and even Zorbing! Don’t worry if you’re a little strapped for cash; there are packages to suit every budget, from £50 to £300. You can’t beat that for value.
4. Colour Phasing Stars Umbrella *entertaining*
A fantastic little contraption which is guaranteed to brighten up any rainy day, this umbrella contains tiny LEDs which twinkle like the night sky. We all know winter can be a depressing time of year, but you will definitely have a spring in your step after buying one of these. It’s also a wonderfully versatile present; it’s suitable for children, mums, girlfriends, aunties, cousins, etc. And it will also keep you occupied on the drizzly commute to work. Just what we all need when we’re struggling to get out of bed in the morning!
And if none of these presents give you an idea, here’s a list of websites to get you started:
Happy gift hunting!
