The holiday season is in full swing and we often find ourselves spending, spending, and spending some more on gifts that end up sitting in a dark closet within a few days never to be seen again.  This year let’s switch it up and give gifts that will keep on giving long after the holidays have come to an end.  Ready to end 2020 on the best gift giver list?

Check out these presents that your loved ones will be talking about (in a good way) well into the new year. 

1. Club Loofah– the gift of self-care is the name of the game this year. Club Loofah is a monthly subscription service that conveniently ships loofahs, candles, and other premium products right to your loved ones’ doors! You can choose from 6-month and 1-year subscription options. 

Price: $40 and up, loofah.club

2. Netflix– everyone knows that binge-watching great shows and movies is everything! To give a Netflix subscription, you can purchase a gift card, either online or in-store. The recipient then redeems the gift card for the plan of their choice: Basic, Standard, or Premium. The amount of the gift card will be applied to the monthly fee for that plan.

Price: $8.99 to $17.99, Netflix.com

3. Stocks- let’s normalize buying assets for the holidays! When you buy stock for a loved one, they own part of a company. Go to Stockpile.com, type in the amount you would like to give and the name of the company stock. The recipient will receive a code and can change the company stock if they wish. They must open a Stockpile account to redeem the gift.  

Price: $1 to $2,000, Stockpile.com

4. The Little Gym– nothing beats the gift of experience especially for the little ones in your life. With classes, events, and annual memberships available there are many options to choose from. Give them an outlet to run around, have lots of fun, and build social and physical skills! 

Price: $40 per class and up, thelittlegym.com

Don’t let the holidays stress you out this year! It’s better to give than to receive, and that includes giving yourself one less thing to worry about. Give from the heart and choose something that will bring joy for months to come.
