The holidays are in full swing, and if you’re like me, you are already starting to do some online shopping (or even venturing to a real store). To help spur some ideas, these 5 creative holiday gifts might be just the ticket for the hard-to-please.
1. Chasing Paper Art Print ($95)
For anyone who wants to order pictures that arrive framed and ready to hang, Chasing Paper is a good option. The company is more known for their wallpaper and decorative products, but the frame I tested looks great and is made from quality materials. They also has multiple, fun prints on their website for as low as $14.95. A friend of mine is having her second child around the holidays, a print for the baby room was my first thought when I visited their homepage. The prints are bright and cheery upon first glance. But whatever the occassion, they have tons of options to choose from.
2. Logitech MX Mechanical Mini Keyboard ($150)
A couple of our writers here use an iPad to do their reviews, and this keyboard from Logitech makes it far easier to type. (I still prefer a laptop, sorry colleagues.) The MX Mechanical Mini works with the Mac or an iPad; keys clack in a satisfying and productive way. The reviews over at Amazon are quite decent (4.3) and only costs $83 last time I checked. Not a bad gift for the college student perhaps?
3. Positive Grid Spark Mini ($230)
One of my favorite music products, the Positive Grid Spark Mini works with your phone so you can emulate different amps, play along with songs from a vast library, and even create songs that automatically add bass and drums. My husband is on the look out for a small amp to play bass by himself at home. It could be that this one finds its way under our tree.
4. Miir TruEnamel Tumbler ($15)
Here’s a tip for anyone who drinks a lot of coffee like me. You will save way more of the magic black liquid if you use one of these enamel cups, which has a tight-fitting lid that keeps your beverage warm. I have been on the lookout for awhile for a tumbler to take with to work, perhaps a good gift to suggest for secret santa. The price is quite excellent too.
For the holiday season, this roaster makes it easier to cook up a ham or a roast in no time. I liked the large handles on the side, and there are two different lids — one that you can see through and one that also doubles as a grill pan. It also works on any cooking surface, including induction. A serious win for the cook at home.
All of us have family members or friends that aren’t so easy to gift. I enjoyed researching the 5 creative holiday gifts listed above and am off to do some online shopping. Check out our other reviews on Gearadical for even more ideas.
