Christmas season is here and it’s beginning to be the time to find some presents to share. Here are some of the best gifts to get someone for Christmas.

  1. Hot chocolate:

In this cold Illinois weather we all need something to warm us up. Hot chocolate solves this problem, so why not give it to others for a Christmas gift? A good cup of hot chocolate can be made with Swiss Miss and warmed in the microwave.

Swiss Miss sells for $7.13 for a 39 oz can at Walmart.

  1. Warm soft Blanket:

When winter rolls around, the temperature starts to drop, and the wintery season is the best time for a warm soft blanket to snuggle in. So the question is why not get one for a friend?

A warm soft blanket goes for around $15 at Target.

  1. Warm PJ’s:

During these cold months in the winter, everyone needs something to keep themselves warm. Warm PJ’s from Target will definitely keep everyone warm this Christmas. This makes a great gift for anyone, and will last a long time.

Warm PJ’s normally sell for about $15 and you can find them in the clothing section at any store.  

  1. Fuzzy socks:

Fuzzy socks can be found for $1 to $3 at Target and Old Navy

  1. Bath and Body Works Candles:

A candle is a great gift for the holidays because it can truly make the cold air smell delightful. A great place to get a christmas candle can be Bath and Body Works.

  1. Back scratcher:

Everyone has that one scratch on their back they can’t reach, and a back scratcher would solve that problem, so why not get one for a friend for Christmas. This will solve their back scratching needs.

A back scratcher retails for about a good $5 at about almost any store, but a good place to go to get a $5 back scratcher would be at Five Below.

  1. Bath Bombs:

Bath bombs are good relaxers for Christmas season stress. The best place to get some bath bombs for a reasonable price is from the store Lush. Lush has a bunch of bathing goods with good and reasonable prices. But if the travel is too far to the Lush store, a backup store to get some bath bombs is Jewel Osco.
