Everyone loves to receive gifts. But it is no less pleasant to give them to relatives, friends and employees.
What are you guided by when choosing a suitable gift: your taste, preferences or the reason for the upcoming celebration? In any case, you must agree, Christmas is a special holiday, so it is advisable to choose the appropriate gifts.
Christmas is a special holiday
And let it be small and inexpensive objects, but they must necessarily be associated with this bright event.
Flowers are always beautiful
In the midst of a cold snowy winter, it is always nice to receive fresh flowers as a gift. A bouquet is good, and if it is a houseplant, then it is also practical: after all, it will delight its owner for many years (with appropriate care, of course). The most suitable in this case will be, without a doubt, poinsettia — no wonder it is sometimes called the Christmas star.
Poinsettia is not called the Christmas star for nothing
Another beautiful indoor plant blooming in winter is Schlumberger. It is often called a chanterelle, because of the bright colors that appear on it just in time for Christmas singing.

Not so popular, but no less beautiful apple tree of love or Jerusalem cherry, the scientific name is Solanum pseudocapsicum. Before the winter holidays, small bushes are literally dotted with bright red or orange fruit balls.

Thanks to them, the plant looks festive, so it will be a great gift for Christmas.
Angels
Figurines of angels were traditionally given for Christmas. They were used in festive compositions or as a decoration for a Christmas tree, just put in prominent places and admired all year round. Pick up a cute figurine of this heavenly creature as a Christmas gift for your loved ones. It can be quite a realistic chubby baby with wings.

Christmas and bell ringing
Another symbol of Christmas is bells. By the way, scientists have proved that the ringing of bells cures many diseases, cleanses the space, destroys pathogenic bacteria.
Bell ringing
Of course, it is unlikely to be possible to present a real church bell as a gift, and not everyone will be happy with such a gift. But it would be appropriate to give your family a small decorative bell for Christmas.

The fire creates a cozy atmosphere
Christmas holidays are always accompanied by a live fire. Unfortunately, not every family can afford a real fireplace, but there is always a way out: you can decorate the interior of any apartment or house with a cozy flicker of candles. Therefore, bright and elegant candles will definitely be a good Christmas gift.
Elegant candles will be a good Christmas gift
Gift candles are decorated with ornaments, sequins and rhinestones.

Unfortunately, even the most beautiful candle burns down without a trace. Therefore, it may be more “humane” and practical to buy and present an original festive candlestick. For example, made in the form of a painted Christmas story glass candle bowl.

Practicality is always a price
If you prefer to buy some practical items as a gift, then opt for dishes decorated with Christmas or just winter drawings. You may be lucky enough to find a whole set with a festive ornament, but it’s enough to give just a tea or coffee pair.
