'The 6 Gift Hack' (aka Simplicity Gifting)

Focused on thoughtful selections - rather than excess - this approach to gifting ensures each gift holds meaning and purpose ... and keeps everyone from going overboard.

And if you're wondering if a 'six gift hack' means having to buy even more than usual? Nope. We promise that's not it. ↓

A Purpose for Every Gift:

Something they Want
Something they Need
Something to Wear
Something to Read
Something to Do
Something to Share

Let us explain...

1. Something They Want

The first category is all about that thing they really want. They've been eyeing it off, talking about it, and it's top of their 'Santa list'. It could be a gadget, a trendy item, or a special toy they'd just love.

2. Something They Need

Next, consider practical gifts that can genuinely improve your loved one's daily life, and that honestly? You'd be needing to purchase anyway.

Some ideas are:
- New backpack / lunch box / water bottle
- New bedding
- Sun hat
- Name labels / Bag Tag
- Skincare / Toiletries
- Hair accessories
- Sleeping bag / Camping gear
- 2025 Diary

3. Something to Wear

Clothing and accessories make for great gifts! (And help tick off items you'd need to purchase anyway!)

Ideas:
- Dress Ups
- Bathers
- Summer clothing
- And outfit for Christmas day
- New PJs
- Summer sandals
- Earrings or other accessories

4. Something to Read

Books are always an ideal gift, for any age. Take time to choose something meaningful.
This could be:
- A bestseller in a genre they love
- A beautifully illustrated picture or board-book
- A subscription to an audiobook service

5. Something to Share

Encouraging connection is key, and gifts that can be enjoyed together create lasting memories.

Ideas:
- Board game, card game or a puzzle
- Baking kits, or a kids recipe book
- Walkie-talkies
- Water pistols
- Beach toys
- Trampoline / frisbee / dart board / any outdoor activities
- Box of chocolates, or lolly bags
- A video game or gaming accessory
- Slip 'n' slide

These gifts promote togetherness, making the holiday season even more special.

6. Something to Do

Lastly, consider gifts that provide experiences rather than physical items. This could include:

- A science kit / activity
- Colouring pages
- Tickets for the zoo / movies / fun park / beach / day out as a family
- Handmade tickets to an at-home movie night
- An adventure picnic day
- Craft ideas
- Letter writing / card making kit
- Calligraphy set
- Play-dough / slime
- A recipe to make and share together

 

By starting the 6 Gift Tradition this Christmas, you can focus on quality over quantity.

Each gift becomes a meaningful expression thoughtfulness ... and helps promote a less overwhelming gifting plan that is easy to map out, explain, afford and organise. ✔️

 

This year, let’s prioritise what truly matters—thoughtfully chosen gifts that enrich our lives, promote thoughtfulness, and strengthen connections.

(And making Christmas a heck of a lot simpler 🙏🏽)

Happy gifting!
