Gifts for People Who Are Hard to Buy For!
November 28, 2017
There’s always one person on your holiday gift list who’s harder to please than the rest. The one person who has discerning or some might say particular tastes and it’s just harder to buy for them!
When it comes to Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa shopping, you want to please them and they want to be pleased. So, for help finding a gift for people we can’t quite figure out, we called in the gift-giving experts.
Unusual and Unique Gifts
BroStick.com has curated 56 gift ideas for her — your mother, sister, wife, boss, friend. Like the best-selling Birchbox beauty sampler subscription with deluxe beauty products for her to test and try every month. Or the comfiest robe ever, the hottest-selling perfume of 2017 (Chanel Mademoiselle, btw), the new Fitbit Alta and the portable facial “brush” everyone’s talking about: the Foreo Luna.
And these unique infinity scarves for the bookish have passages from some of the world’s great books (Pride and Prejudice, Alice in Wonderland, Sense and Sensibility) silk-screened on them.
Best Tech and Outdoor Gifts
While tech gifts are usually targeted at men, like the collapsible (to 10 inches) fly-fishing kit and the Vancouver Marshmallow Crossbow, some of these tech gifts have crossOVER appeal for the fairer sex.
Like the Stanley purse-sized flask and the Sonos Bluetooth speaker or even the Sennheiser wireless headphones. And for a compact EDC kit (every day carry) that has tools to cut, measure, screw, clip and, of course, pop beer caps, this handy version fits on your keychain!
