Gift Ideas for Easter, Graduation, Birthdays, and More!
Many people associate gift-giving with Christmas and other major holidays during the winter months. However, a person might need a gift any time of the year, including for Easter, graduation, or a birthday. A unisex gift is often best in these situations, as you can stock up on gifts and always have one on hand when needed.
What is a Unisex Gift?
A unisex gift is one that any person will love, regardless of which gender they associate with. This item is useful and adds value to their life without expecting them to adhere to outdated stereotypes about what is appropriate for a person based on their sex or another characteristic. What are some popular unisex gifts today?
Hydrations
Reusable hydrations benefit the environment in many ways. These hydrations are also convenient; you can take them anywhere and refill them as needed. However, when buying a hydration as a gift, you want to avoid plastic versions. Splurge and buy the person a hydro-insulated double-wall hydration. Why does this hydration make the best gift?
Stainless steel holds up with time. You won’t need to worry about the hydration developing a leak when needed most. Furthermore, steel won’t leach chemicals into the beverage, which is a concern with plastic. It is also easier to clean stainless steel because it isn’t porous. The cup won’t retain water like plastic does, so bacteria won’t be able to hide and make the user ill.
The insulation establishes a buffer between the drink and the external temperature, so your beverage stays hot or cold just as when you filled the cup. Double-wall construction is preferred because it helps keep the cup from developing condensation. This is a great gift idea for girls and boys.
Furthermore, when the recipient no longer needs the cup, they can recycle it. Until that day arrives, the steel holds up well, even when the owner uses the cup daily. Recycling the used hydration means miners must pull less ore from the earth. The planet benefits from its use.
Emergency Kit
New drivers and those who have been on the road for many years now benefit from having an emergency kit in the car. You can never know what will get wrong when you get behind the wheel. Having this kit ensures they are prepared for any situation that arises.
A basic emergency kit will contain items such as jumper cables and flares. Consider upgrading to a kit featuring items like a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker. When choosing this kit, make certain it is small enough to fit in the vehicle’s cabin, so the driver and passengers have access to those items when needed. No price can be put on a loved one’s safety, so look into purchasing this gift for every driver on your gift list.
Essential Oil Diffusers
Those unfamiliar with essential oils think these products make a room smell good. Research proves they do much more than this. They can boost your mood and improve your health.
These concentrated plant extracts may help you get a better night’s sleep, reduce nausea when you are feeling ill, and relieve headaches. While some oils might be applied topically, many people prefer to diffuse them in the air. Doing so allows more people to reap the benefits of these amazing extracts.
Purchase a diffuser and a bottle of quality lavender oil as a gift. The recipient can diffuse this oil to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Studies have shown lavender is ideal for this purpose, which is why many manufacturers include it today in products designed for infants. You might also wish to include tea tree, lemon, and peppermint oils with this gift to give the recipient many options to try.
Weighted Blankets
Purchase a weighted blanket as a gift and the recipient will feel as if you are enveloping them in a hug every time they use it. The pressure applies gentle pressure to the body when used, and it helps relieve anxiety, promotes better sleep, and calms an overstimulated child. It appears these blankets also help relieve the pain associated with conditions such as fibromyalgia. Regardless of why the blanket is used, it provides the person with a sense of security.
Researchers believe weighted blankets stimulate serotonin production. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate your mood. In addition, using the blanket also helps promote melatonin production for a better night’s sleep. At the same time, cortisol production decreases, so the user feels less stress.
Many gifts today are gender-neutral and recipients appreciate this. They prefer not to be labeled as one gender and like when others respect this. When purchasing a gift, look for one any person can use. Doing so ensures they will enjoy the gift. You will not have wasted your money. More importantly, the recipient will cherish the gift and think of you fondly each time they use it.
