This year, if you do what everyone else only dreams about and get your Christmas shopping done early, you'll not only be ahead of the game but you'll end up with items people actually want for gifts. Here are some early shopping ideas that are healthy, helpful and will get used year-round making you the gift-giving hero of the year.
Sunglasses. While this might not seem like a winter gift, you'd be surprised how useful sunglasses are year round. You need sunglasses in winter almost more than in summer due to the fact that in winter there are no trees for shade, and the sun does not feel as hot so people don't take precautions. Meanwhile, the sun reflects off the snow or puddles from rain and damages your eyes and skin. It is a healthy, thoughtful gift that your loved one will keep, use and think of you often.
Lotion Kit. For women, nothing is more important in the hygiene department than skin care. Buying high-quality, designer skin products for a loved one means you are treating them to a gift they'd love to treat themselves to but don't. We're talking high-end lotion, sun screen, fragrances or night cream. Anything skin related will get used, and will make a difference in your loved one's health. Don't worry about offending your loved one, just don't buy acne cream and you're good to go.
Fragrances. Every man and women, even if they don't want to admit it, loves to smell nice. But, fragrances can also carry harmful chemicals. This year, get a gift that smells nice but doesn't kill brain cells. All-natural fragrances are a bit expensive, but the smells are authentic and vibrant, and it is an item your loved one can use year round.
