Out of gift ideas? Here are a few

There is always the dilemma of what to get for who.

Here are just a few simple ideas to ignite that spark for a special Christmas gift for your family.

For women:

• a cookbook, as one can never go wrong with delicious recipes,

• no woman would ever say no to a little pampering, a spa voucher would thus come in handy,

• jewellery and perfume are an age-old gift, but are always very appreciated,

• an elegant Pandora charm would also make a nice gift for a woman.

For men:

• a watch is always a winner amid gift-giving on any occasion,

• men are never without their wallets, especially if the wives are with them, so a new leather wallet would make an excellent gift,

• no person can ever go wrong with giving a man a mini keg to put either in the bar or next to his favourite couch,

• after-shave or ‘manly’ perfume can go a long way as a Christmas gift.

For teenagers:

• you can never go wrong with buying a nice pair of earphones for your teenager,

• music or a music voucher,

• an mp3 player or portable audio system can never fail,

• if all else fails, buy a shopping voucher where they can decide what they want.

For children:

• Barbie dolls or remote-controlled cars are champions when giving gifts for children,

• children are artists, buying a complete colouring-in kit with all the equipment and colours imaginable and a colouring-in book, will encourage their artistic talents.

Top these gifts off by wrapping them in colourful Christmas wrapping and sticking a bow on it and there will be smiles all around.
