Buying Christmas gifts this year is going to be weird. Things we relied on as good gifts like tickets to events, meals out and anything to do with being out of the house are looking like they’ll be off-limits. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t still get a great gift. Here’s some ideas for those who want to embrace the uniqueness of 2020.
1. Plants
Everyone got a bit obsessed with plants this year, didn’t they? Well, it makes sense, especially in Winter when we’ll be indoors a lot more. Plants are proven to boost mood, productivity, concentration and creativity so they will always make a great gift. Why not get this Chinese money plant from Urban Outfitters where you can get 10% off with UNiDAYS.
2. Books
The statistics are in and books sales are soaring! With all this extra time on our hands,a lot of people turned to books to escape from the constant COVID updates! Get Barack Obama’s new book or the thriller of the year Where the Crawdads Sing from Waterstones, where you get 10% off with UNiDAYS!
3.Bedsheets
Let’s face it, we’ve spent A LOT of time in our bed this year- binge watching, logging onto lectures. Giving the gift of bedsheets can transform this sacred space and Urban Outfitters have some dreamy sets, like this black and white moon set that you can get 10% off with UNiDAYS.
4. Disney+
About halfway through the year everyone had ‘completed’ all their streaming services and then along came the shiny new Disney+ with great new memeable series (the Mandalorian) musical premiers (Black is King and Hamilton) and throwback movies! If you know someone who hasn’t got it yet,this is the perfect gift.
