subject: Alternative Christmas Gifts [print this page] Christmas is here which means that in a mere couple of weeks we will be opening doors to family and friends whilst stuffing our faces with mince pies. Christmas is a time to spend with loved ones and for exchanging presents with those around us. As we get older the need for trinkets and gadgets diminishes and it becomes much more practical to buy presents that will actually help our day to day life. More and more people are now choosing to forgo swapping gifts with partners or family and instead put money towards a useful gift that will make life that little bit easier. If the prospect of finding space for a multitude of unwanted Christmas gifts is leaving you dreading the 25th, here are some great alternative options.
No one enjoys washing up therefore clubbing together to buy a dishwasher is a great option for couples looking to spend time together away from the sink! Imagine finishing your Christmas dinner and simply placing all of the pots and pans in the dishwasher and letting your new machine do all of the hard work! Whether you use it on a day to day basis or prefer to keep it for special occasions, dishwashers are a great addition to any household but remember, a dishwasher is for life, not just for Christmas!
If you are having mobility issues or simply wish to treat parents or grandparents to the gift of movement this year, why not consider looking into buying a stairlift. Not only are stairlifts ideal for helping those with limited mobility get up and down the stairs, they allow those feeling restricted in their homes to regain some much needed independence. Modern stairlifts can now be added to straight or curved staircases and are operated via remote control. Once the stairlift is installed, you can make the most of it by using it to transport heavy goods between the floors of your homes. The handy remote control feature also allows it to be called from upstairs or downstairs when you require a lift!
If practical is not a word in your Christmas vocabulary list, how about treating yourself to something a little more lavish? With so many great deals on televisions, why not club together to add a bigger TV to your lounge and really enjoy the Christmas films in style? Whether you prefer entering the world of 3D TV or simply wish to upgrade your existing set, it is definitely the season to indulge!
