Holiday Gift Ideas For The Engaged Couple's Family


Ok, so you're engaged, and you're happy.. but you're kinda in between families at the moment. And the holidays are looming ever closer... what do you do for holiday gifts?? Well, no need to fret, just take a look at some of our gift ideas for everyone.

Gift Ideas For His/Her:
-Dad
Has he always wanted that expensive gardening shears to cut the hedges? Or does he appreciate a fine bottle of brandy? Perhaps that new golf club he's been eyeing lately? If those are a bit on the expensive side, how bout getting him a new pair of shoes (for your wedding, perhaps....)? Ties and socks are always safe and easy, but the gifts are a bit tired and uncreative.

- Mom
Giving moms some item to grace their home is usually a good idea. Take a look around the house, does she have a collection that she proudly keeps and displays? Help her add to that collection. Beauty items are usually well-received as well - perfume tops the list here. Take note of the brand she uses and what items are running low.

- Siblings
Again, the key to giving a good gift is to notice the interest that your recipient has and to get a gift in line with that interest. This shows that you have given thought and care into the giving of the gift. Are the siblings a more tech-y group? Do they like reading? What kind of books if so? What are their interests? Where do they spend their free time and what on? Think about these questions, the answers will normally give you an idea.

General Gift Ideas :
A bottle of wine, a fruit basket, or holiday cookies are always safe bets if you don't really know what else to get. To give a more intimate touch (after all, you're almost family now!), personalise it with a handmade card and finish up the decorations with some flowers.
