You either love giving gifts or you have no idea where to start. You are in luck because “Gifts” is one of my top love languages. I have outlined 10 different gift guides for Christmas 2020 for types of people you might be looking to get gifts for this year and ideas that you could get them. If you want homemade gift ideas, check out this blog post of gifts people actually want.
Get creative and let this help you get inspired or shop the links to purchase the exact items.

Best Gifts for Sports Lovers
- Personalize Hockey Puck – I feel like hockey gets overlooked as a sport unless you live in Canada. But maybe that’s just me. So why not get them a custom hockey puck, who would have thought, right?
- Photo Golf Balls – Don’t get your balls stolen again! These are definitely obvious whose these golf balls are on the fairway and it’s funny!
- Ping Pong Set – If you don’t have enough room for a full ping pong table, make any table ready for Ping Pong. This is perfect for game night and those who are competitive…or maybe it’s not.
- Basketball Mug – Okay how cute! You can shoot marshmallow hoops.
- Rechargeable Handwarmer – Outdoor games are fun until it gets cold. This hand warmer is reusable, better for the environment, and will be a lifesaver for those games.
- Golf Ball Marker – Every time your (Dad, friend, or significant other) goes out to the green without you because all you want to do is drive the cart around, they will always think you of when they are getting ready to get that birdy with this gifts.
- Basketball Waste Basket – How cool is this?! This is perfect for a bedroom or a man cave.
Best Gifts for Fathers & Father In-Laws
- LED Light Working Gloves – For the man who works in small, dark places this is great to have in their toolkit.
- Title Key Finder – Is the father figure in your life forgetful? Don’t let him misplace his keys again with the Title. This is an older model so it’s cheaper but still just as effective.
- Personalized Pocket Knife – A personalized item is a fun touch to a gift especially if they have a unique name. Just because they can’t find their name on a keychain at the gas station doesn’t mean they can’t have a pocket knife with their name on it!
- Leather Catch Tray – Even men need a little tray to keep their little things in. Like rings, wallets, keys, change whatever it might be. This leather one is more masculine than just a ceramic plate that I use.
- Beer Chiller – Keep your beer cold with this chiller. It’s essentially a stick that you stick in the beer bottle, perfect for a hot day.
- iPhone Charging Cable, Bottle Opener Keychain – Super convenient charging cable that you can plug into any USB port and a bottle opener. Double duty!
- Neck Massager – This is the best massager. So many people have this and have amazing reviews. This will be the gift of the year!
- Personalized Message Hammer – For the father who is a handyman, he will appreciate a useful gift with a special message on it.
Best Gifts for Mothers and Mother-In-Laws
- Personalized Wine Label – Whether you want to write a personal message or congratulate someone, this is a great idea for any wine lover. Maybe a wine lover who is also a new homeowner?
- Home Coordinates Pillow – Home is where the heart is, and a pillow with where the location of their home. Someone homesick? Give them this gift and they will feel like they are there.
- Mother & Children Necklace – Jewelry is hard to give but this multi-metal necklace has the names of her children or their birthday.
- Custom Message Candle – Now it doesn’t have “My Favorite child bough me this candle” but I do like the idea. All mothers love candles and for their house to smell nice.
- Fuzzy Slippers – Cold feet suck and since we are walking around the house all day, why not have cute slippers on.
- Coffee/Candle Warmer – For the mom who is busy all day and ends up reheating her coffee 3 times before finishing it. Now she can just set in on the warmer and don’t worry. Or if she doesn’t want to light a candle, this will warm it like a melter and fill the house with delicious smells.
- Personalized Welcome Mat – I love a good welcome mat and I’m pretty sure so does everyone else. It’s a nice touch to the front porch when someone comes over, and why not make it say their name?
Best Gifts for Him
- Photo Boxer Shorts – This could be a gag gift or a real gift if they need underwear but you want them to always be thinking of you. It’s a fun twist of a practical gift.
- Fidget Ball – Forget fidget spinners this is better for anxious hands. It has multiple different ‘things’ to do to keep their hands busy.
- “The Office” Puzzle – Who doesn’t love The Office? And with a farewell to the series leaving Netflix, this is a great gift.
- Insulated Water Bottle – This is the perfect water bottle. It’s like a Hydro flask but cheaper. It has a straw, a cover for the straw and it fits in cup holders.
- Shower Speaker & Beer Holder – I love that this was a shower Bluetooth speaker but that it can also hold a drink?! Sign me up! I didn’t know a shower beer was a thing but now they have a proper holder for it.
- Beard Trimmer Catcher – This is a necessity! Men can’t clean their beard hair off the sink, am I right? Get this for them to ensure your bathroom is beard hair-free. A gift for them and a gift for you.
- Mini Projector – Mini projectors are fun to take on the road or take to parties. You can just plug your phone into this and it is charged by a portable charger so you can literally take it anywhere.
- Portable Projector Screen – To pair with the mini projector, you will need a screen to project it on for outdoor movie nights with friends for the summer.
Best Gifts for Girl Friends
- Cozy Blanket – I’ve heard this is better than the Barefoot Dream blanket that is $140. Everyone loves a fuzzy blanket especially with winter coming.
- Ball Earring – These earrings are so cute and unique. Etsy has some awesome earrings that are different so you don’t feel like, “Hey, here are some plain hoops.” Unless your friend is into that. But also check out Target, HM, and even Walmart for earrings and other jewelry.
- Leather Phone Holder – Leather phone stands have just recently been making a big impact on our lives. Once you get one, you don’t know what you were doing without one.
- Plant Lady Mug – For those friends who are obsessed with their plants, this is the gift for them. Not only could they drink their tea from this, but also plant a little something in it too! Or you could do it for them.
- Silk Scrunchies – I love silk/satin scrunchies and everyone needs them even if they don’t think they do.
- Personalized Brumate – Whether it’s for your white claw or your energy drinks (Celcius is my fav!), it’s nice to have a cold beverage and a cute accessory.
- Designer Coffee Table Book – We all have those friends that love to decorate their homes, but we also have those friends that love fashion. Two favs into one present, a win/win.
- Customer Best Friend Picture – I love this idea! You can customize this to look just like you and your best friend or sister.
Best Gifts for Gamers
- Gameboy iPhone Case – It’s not super protective, but you can actually play games on the case.
- Cord Tags – If you have a lot of cords (as gamers do) or people in the house and want people to stop stealing the good charger that’s yours, these are a great gift.
- Retro Arcade Button Light Switch – This is perfect for the ultimate gaming room. You just place this over a light switch and you have a retro-looking arcade feel.
- Gameboy Fridge Magnets – Now, the wife of the house might not like this idea, but if you have a mini-fridge, this would be perfect!
- Game Console Remote Holder – This is for the ultimate gamer who loves all things nerdy. Video games, Star Wars it has everything.
- Gaming Socks – This is a great idea that every person needs. We all need socks, even gamers.
Best Gifts for Readers
- Blue Light Blocking Glasses – I have these ones and they really do help. Any blue light glasses that I have tried have worked for me. If the readers read on a Kindle, this will help with tired eyes and headaches.
- Sprout Bookmarks – These are so cute! If you have a plant lover and reader, a win-win. And no one likes to buy a bookmark so getting one as a gift is perfect.
- Book Holder – A great display for a fiction, textbook, or cookbook and it comes with a place to hold their blue light glasses..maybe?
- Neck Reading Light – This is better than a book clip light because it doesn’t weigh down the book. A great option for those people who love to read actually books instead of e-books.
- New Book Pages Candle – The smell of new pages is like crack to book lovers, this candle will set the mood for a perfect reading day.
- Fleece Blanket – Cozying up with a candle, a cup of tea, a good book, and a fuzzy blanket sounds like a perfect way to spend a rainy day.
Best Housewarming Gifts for First Time Homeowners
- Wifi Extender – If they have a big house, this will be nice to ‘extend’ the wifi, especially if they still work from home. And no one wants to buy this, but it’s nice to get as a gift.
- Amazon Gift Card – Let’s be real, new homeowners just spend 6 figures on a house, what they really want is money to buy stuff for the house or groceries.
- Coasters – No one likes to buy coasters but everyone needs them. Get something that fits their aesthetic or that is something in relation to what they like.
- Hand Towels – A personalized towel to hang on the stove is fun to have them remember the feeling of just moving in.
- New Home Candle – I love a good candle and getting one is so nice. Some people are picky with scents but this is a great way to acknowledge their new home.
- Dishwasher Clean/Dirty Magnet – Necessity! Never guess if the dishes are clean or dirty and run the dishwasher again or eat out of a dirty bowl.
Best Gifts for Runners
- Non-Bounce Running Belt – This is better than an armband as you can hold more and if it’s sunny, you won’t give you a tan line.
- Runner’s Recovery Kit – This kit comes with relaxing bath oil, soothing muscle rub, and a stretching elastic perfect for after a long race.
- Anti Blister Socks – These socks provide cushion, anti-wicking material, and helps to reduce friction so there won’t be any blisters after a run.
- Shoe Lace ID Tag – This is genius in case something happens to you while out on a run. It’s better to be safe.
- 8 Lbs Epsom Salt – Epsom salt helps reduce sore muscle and 8 lbs can last a while.
- Foam Roller – Rolling out before and after a run can help with soreness because if someone is training, they don’t want to skip a day because they were sore.
Best Gifts for New Mom’s & Babies
- Fleece Robe – The first month, all you want to do is wear a robe. And this one has so many amazing reviews. Easy to breastfeed, change, and just be comfy.
- Baby’s Name Necklace – Instead of their name, the name the new light of their life should be around their neck.
- Eye Patches – With lack of sleep, your under eyes can suffer. These have hyaluronic acid to help with hydration and they feel so good if you put them in the fridge.
- Name Pacifier – This is like a really modern-looking pacifier clip if you ask me. The neutral colors, the wood, and it’s personalized, so if you have twins or you and your friend are hanging out on a baby date, you won’t accidentally put the wrong binky in the wrong mouth.
- Name Puzzle – If they are a newborn, they probably won’t be able to play with this for a while, but it’s a cute decor piece and something that is practical.
- Back Massager – New mothers need this. Soon everyone in the family will be using this. You can move it with your hands in the arms to the desired spot on your back.
- Personalize Birth Block – You see the signs, the pictures, and blankets with the birth information but that about a cute wooden block?! This is a cute decor piece for the baby’s nursery and gives something a little unexpected.
I hope these gift guides help your Christmas shopping go a little smoother and give you additional ideas.
