How to Choose a Fun Holiday Gift
A Christmas to remember.

Oh, the challenge of finding the right gift for someone on your holiday shopping list.
Will they like it?
Even better, will they scream in delight when they open it?
Here’s how to make this Christmas one they’ll never forget.

It helps if you know the gift recipient very well.
Does this special person like to collect something? For example, chickens?
Not real chickens. Glass chicken candy dishes. Chicken-and-rooster salt-and-pepper shakers.
The challenge would be to find a unique chicken-themed gift not yet in this person’s collection.
Temu has you covered: a chicken egg lamp.
A what? A statue of a hen…uh…popping out an egg (the light bulb).

Maybe your family has inside jokes no one else would understand.
For example, my family thinks crows can talk. (I don’t know where this idea came from. Fairy tales, maybe.)
If you give one of my relatives a Gothic Crow Lamp with a light bulb dangling from its beak (also from Temu), your gift will earn hearty laughs.
Why did I pick lamps as examples of fun gifts? Because they’re practical. Everyone needs a lamp on their desk or next to their bed. Every time they use it, they’ll think of you.
That’s why this next gift is so fantastic. People of all ages would love it!
It’s a little astronaut who projects a starry night on your walls.
Whoever invented this cute idea is a genius.

The ultimate fun gift is an empty box.
But not a boring, discarded carton. (That would be a sad present.)
How about a cardboard box decorated with a picture of a completely useless item (“Pet Sweep: Animal-Powered Debris Removal System”).
But a nifty present is hidden inside:
- A cashmere sweater.
- A collectible book.
- An iPad.
- Maybe even a diamond necklace.
Ah, the element of surprise.
