It can be
tricky trying to decide what to buy friends and family for Christmas each year,
so why not try some of these more unusual ideas. The added bonus is they don’t
really need wrapping – great if you’re as hopeless at it as I am.
Magazine
Subscriptions
It can be
great to curl up with a good magazine and there are so many available, ranging
from general women’s/men’s interest, to specific hobbies and children’s
favourite comics. There are currently plenty of good subscription offers
around, providing the recipient with something to look forward to all year round,
when their favourite mag arrives on their doormat with a satisfying thump. IPC
Media have some great value 12-month subscription deals currently available
including: Marie Claire £18.99, Woman & Home £24.99, Living Etc £26.99, In Style
£18.99 and Rugby World £35.99 – all available with a gift card as part of the
deal.
An
Evening Out
Gift cards
for places such as Cineworld, Nandos, Zizzi, Ticketmaster etc make great
presents. Instead of buying your loved ones material goods that they can never
find a place for, it can make a real treat to provide them with an evening out
instead.
Adopt An
Animal
For animal
lovers it’s possible to adopt an animal in their name at one of the many
wildlife parks and zoos that offer this service. Check out some of the animal
attractions local to the person receiving the gift, so that they can use the
tickets included in the package to pay a visit. For example, Colchester Zoo,
Essex, offers a gift adoption package for £45 including adoption of animal of
your choice, a personalised laminated certificate, information sheet, 3 issues
of Zoo Matters newsletter, mounted photo and two day tickets (usual adult entry
price ranges from £12.99 in winter to £17.99 at peak season). Drusillas Zoo,
East Sussex, offers packages for £40 (including one entry ticket), £50 (2
tickets) and £60 (3 tickets).
