Our Xmas Guide To Buying All Your Fam’s Pressies Online Without Leaving The House

As December keeps zooming on by, suddenly Christmas is just around the corner which means that every neighbourhood shopping centre is now the Bad Place.

I hate shopping at Xmas time because it drains all the fun out of normal browsing and turns into some kind of endurance sport —it’s even worse than the beep test. Nobody needs that kind of stress right now, as we all get ready to take a much-needed work break over the holidays.

So what if you just bought all your presents online in your pyjamas rather than actually leaving the house? We’ve got you sorted and below are some gifts you can buy online that offer express delivery, so you can get it all sorted before the big day.

Here’s Our Online Christmas Gift Guide If You’ve Left Your Fam’s Pressies To The Last Minute:

Your Mum

VS Sasoon, Frizz Defense, AC Salon Hair Dryer, $69.95

Let’s start the new year right by getting your mum something she will actually use. No more soaps shaped like sea creatures, your mum gave birth to you and it’s time to treat her like a queen. Every queen needs a good hair dryer and this one doubles as an anti-frizz treatment and will sort out any unruly mane.

Your Dad

Philips, QP6510/20 OneBlade Pro, $89

Just like your mum doesn’t need anymore potpourri, your dad doesn’t need any more novelty t-shirts or another book about cricket. Instead, get your dad something he can use on the regular and something he may not buy himself, like this fancy shaver.

Your Sister

No matter what your personal taste is, it’s hard to be disappointed with a Lush gift and ‘Snow Fairy’ is one of their most popular scents. The smell is so damn addictive and this above set includes all the necessities for a relaxing summer: a bath bomb, bubble wand, shower gel, and a body conditioner.

Your Brother

Spiegelau, Beer Classics Tasting Kit Set Of 4, $69.95

Brothers are famously difficult to buy for, so it’s best just playing it safe and getting something beer-related. There’s simply no chance he can be disappointed with a beer tasting set and at least he will use it and not immediately return it.

Your Aunt

Biologi, Organic Rose Hip Oil, $28

Buying skincare always feels intensely personal but you can’t go wrong with rosehip oil as it’s perfect for all skin types. I’ve been using this brand for the past three months and the oil is much thicker than other ones I’ve tried, so you can really feel it soaking into your skin and it leaves you super hydrated.

Your Uncle

AncestryDNA Kit, $89

Uncles generally want something a little bit quirky for Xmas, especially a gift that can become a bit of a summer project. The AncestryDNA test determines a person’s ethnic mix, along with uncovering interesting details about their history. It was basically made for Uncle Steve, who always harps on about being one-fifth Italian because he makes a mean lasagne.

Grandparents

Canvas Factory, HD Metal Prints, 45cm x 30cm Rectangle, $68.40

When it comes to grandparents, anything sentimental always goes down a treat. All you need to do is unearth a few baby photos and boom: the perfect gift. These prints on aluminium look a bit more modern than your typical canvas print.
