2010 Hot Christmas Gifts
We start counting down; so here you go...
Number 10 - Nintendo Wii
Wii slips down the list from last year, but still retains a position in the top ten gifts, for the plain fact that it’s cool to have one! It is one gift that can be enjoyed not just by the person whom you give it too, but by his whole family and even you. The great thing about Wii is that you can play it within the house in front of the television and with your family, but still enjoy real outdoor fun. Though new consoles are arriving with similar ideas, they would take some time before reaching the level Wii has already attained. And the games available are just awesome. The latest buzz is that Wii is launching a new super Mario game. Isn’t that enough to lay your hands on one this Christmas for real enthusiasts! Go ahead try it.
Number 9 - Digital Camera
Now here is something can help you capture those beautiful moments of your life in crystal clear images. Digital cams are your one shot solution for bad memory and undisputed enjoyment. With new age, digital cameras have gone way down the price lane, as they cost you for less than a 100$. And if that isn’t reason enough to pick one, know that even the most decent of ones today possess amazing quality, up-to-date features, editing options and tons of storage. This Christmas, a digital camera is definitely the weapon of choice!
Number 8 - New Apple iPods
YO my hommies!! These are the coolest little gadgets available right now. With Apple unveiling the latest iterations to all its models, starting with iPod shuffle; entertainment has become so much more 'Applesque’.' The new iterations are neater, sleeker, handier and less costly. With the latest shuffle costing just $50, it’s a great bargain for gifting music enthusiasts. So what are you waiting for? Of course, Christmas!
Number 7 - DVD Specials
For those of you who enjoy television series and enjoy special performances, you can always find a fresh new DVD collection out there. It can be the long forgotten collection or a collector’s edition only, but it’s worth it. Just imagine a box set of all episodes of your favorite series even those you missed. Well, that can add glitters to anyone’s Christmas celebrations. You can also find DVD of special performances or DVDs of movies with added footage for real hardcore fans!
Number 6 - Favorite Accessories
This is especially for people who spend a lot of time with different things and are either semi-or fully obsessed with something. For example, if your friend spends way lot of time with his lappy, buy him something for his laptop and see his face light up. If he plays guitar, get him something related to that, even if it means buying that exotic pick! After all, this was something which he always wished for, isn’t it? If your teenager holds his/ her cell phone dearer, then buy him neat accessories for that and rest assured, your thought shall be rewarded with endless gratefulness.
Number 5 - Gift Certificate
A hassle free and very convenient option! Also it, in reality, becomes the most personalized option. If you are confused and facing a choc-o-bloc as to what gift to buy or feel that your friend/relative/child/parents may not like your gift; then don’t buy a gift. Simple! Well, that doesn’t mean you don’t get anything for the person. Just get your buddy a gift certificate from one of the places you think he loves to shop. It can be from anywhere, right from a designer shopping to his/her favorite eatery. During the holiday season, all shops offer gift certificates either at discounted prices or bundled with offers. So, just go and grab them before they run out of it!
Number 4 - Holiday Package
If your parents have been busy for a longtime and you have overheard them say that they wish to get a break, then getting a vacation package for them would be an ideal bet. Even better, get a deal in which you all can go for a family trip together or they can take a few of their friends along. With the advent of the holiday season, all travel companies, hotels and airlines around the world start offering great deals. Don’t let this chance slip away!
Number 3 - Personalized Gift Basket
Now this will involve a great deal of research and lot of dedication, but be sure that the result would be a smile as wide as the English Channel on the receiver’s face. You can go the traditional way and gift your acquaintance chocolate or liquor baskets. A great choice will be filling a great looking basket with the most favorite candies, chocolates, treats and even beer or liquors. However, if you are ready to tread the less known path, then go for hobby baskets. If the person likes playing baseball, give him/her a basket with memorabilia, limited edition stuff and some new gear. If he/she loves collecting something, then fill in the basket with some new collectibles.
Number 2 - Collection Of Old Memories In A Scrapbook
Again, a very touching gift! Real tears will welt up your own eyes even as you compile it and by the time you will be finished, you may not want to gift the scrapbook away. A very touchy and sensitive gift, this can be for people with whom you share a close bond of love, such as your parents, in-laws, siblings, partner, children, friends and so on. Even the coldest of hearts can melt away with such a gift. Get going and warm the heart of your beloved with this poignant gift!
And finally...
Number 1 - Very Personal Surprise
A truly customizable idea completely dependent on you and how you execute it. A popular trick is wrapping a gift in so many covers that by the time the receiver gets to the real gift, he imagines it’s all in vain, only to get something very precious or beyond expectations. Ideal for people who wish to present some really great surprise! Well, then what are you waiting for - now is the time to arrange in a special surprise for that special someone. All the best and yes, Merry Christmas!
