The LW Holiday Gift-Giving Guide
The holiday season is all about making memories! From decorating the tree to baking cookies for Santa Clause (if you have little ones), these images live in our minds and hearts forever. It is often something small - the smell of hot chocolate, the glistening ornament, the cozy comfort of a cashmere sweater, or the Jingle Bell song played in the background - that brings a smile to our face every time we think of it.
Nonetheless, planning for the holidays can often feel overwhelming and stressful as we often get caught up in searching for the perfect gift for family and friends. Over the years, I’ve learned that the best guide to giving gifts is that which appeals to the five senses. The gift-giving trends of a “five senses gift” is a unique concept that’s all about intentionally giving the perfect present, or series of presents, that appeal to one or all of our senses: touch, sight, sound, taste, and smell. So grab your favorite tea or mulled wine (or both!), find a comfy seat, and prepare to shop through my carefully curated gifts for your family, friends, coworkers, significant other, and don’t forget about yourself!
Touch
Shatterproof and soft to the touch, this handmade embroidered ornament from LW Pearl Atelier can be gifted in two ways: as a gift topper or a hanging ornament. Thinking about sustainability, these gorgeous ornaments can make the gifts you are giving extra special but they can also be reused and loved every season as a favorite Christmas tree decoration.
Sight
Another amazing gift for giving or receiving is the LW Pearl embroidered mask. It has been a complete honor seeing Dr. Jill Biden wearing them in her many official visits. Besides, a lot of communities have a mask mandate in place, so if you’re looking for quality and carefully embroidered masks, I suggest you visit our website before they sell out.
Sound
With all the stress and anxiety that Covid has given us over the last two years, I can’t think of a better gift than the gift of Calm. Calm is an amazing app for sleep, relaxation, and meditation. You could also purchase their Calm X Gravity Blanket offered on their website which includes a one-year subscription to Calm.
Taste
No one can go wrong with a Christmas gift from Butlers Chocolate. They have a great assortment of Christmas Crackers and Chocolate Boxes for Christmas. If you are visiting Ireland for the holidays (or for the first time) going to one of their Cafes is an experience in itself.
Smell
If you love Butlers Chocolate you will also love their Chocolate, Orange, and Fig Luxury Scented Candles. “Inspired by the wonderful aromas and fragrances of Butlers Chocolate Cafés” these candles will surely bring wonderful memories when you light them in your living room.
For my American friends, you can also try Boy Smells’ Future Classics Holiday Votive Set. These candles will instantly lift your spirits, fill your home with exquisite fragrances, and will be a perfect gift for your tricky-to-buy-for friend or coworker.
