THE ULTIMATE GIFT IDEAS FOR A MILLENNIAL
Apple Watch Standing Charge
Most of the people I know now have a digital watch and more often than not they have an apple watch. My charger that came with the watch is such a pain to use so this charger is great because it’s easier to use. Also it comes in a variety of colors and I use it everyday!
Air fryer
Air-fryers are a literal life saver. Coincidentally I got mine when I started Keto because they are so easy to use. Before long my family and friends all got there’s. There’s a huge sale going on right now so use this link to get yours. I use it cook sausages and fries which avoids deep frying them, I grill my steak in it and it’s great for quick meals during the week! This is a great gift because it’s highly functional.
Juicer
I used to be one of those people that bought juice at the local juice store. These juices are great because they are fresh and they are real with no sugar added. However at $7.99 for 10 ounces it just became too much.Get your friends who love fresh juice a juicer and they’ll save so much money by making their own juice. My sister has always made fresh juice for my nephew because it has much less sugar than store bought! AND you know exactly what’s in your juice!
Bluetooth Portable Speaker
I love this little gems and they come in all sizes. You can get a portable speaker for you friends or family who love music but always move around and ear phones are not optimal. Use these speakers in the shower, in the garden, gym or even garage. As far as gifts come this is perfect because it can be used everywhere!
Coffee Cup or Mug
Coffee cups and mugs are perfect for pretty much everyone not just millennials. They are so personal and can be personalized if needed. If your loved one lives in a state that has cold winters then a coffee mug would be perfect for them. I drink coffee every morning especially as I commute in and my mug comes in handy all the time.
AirPods
I have now been converted and I truly think that AirPods are one of the best inventions. Seriously though I joke but what did we do before them? I love not having to untangle wires and running with them in the gym or park is super convenient!
Pop Sockets
If you know someone who still hasn’t gotten one of this do them a favor and get this gift for them. Depending on what they like you can get quite a variety of styles online.
Steamer
My lovely friend introduced me to steamers and initially I got one because I travel a lot and sometimes hotels don’t have iron boxes. Steamers will change your life especially if your iron your clothes a-lot. There are many options that you can get at different price points but this one here has served me well.
Mobile Charger
These always come in handy especially as your phone gets older and you have more stuff on it meaning you need to charge your battery more often. My boyfriend got me a really good one years ago. It wasn’t cheap but it comes in super handy when I am on the go.
Bed Sheet Set
Before you laugh at this idea, when was the last time you bought bed sheets? If one of my friends or family bought me a decent pair of sheets I would not only be pleasantly surprised but really grateful! Some of the most common things make up for the best gifts which makes this the perfect gift for a millennial because we don’t think about these things!
Bag Organizer
All your friends who have a tote will thank you for this! Sometimes you have an expensive tote that doesn’t have separated spaces and that’s where an organizer comes in super handy. Remember that these gifts are meant to be functional so this will definitely be useful!
Journal/Planner
Get your friends and family started for the new year as organized as they can with a planner. As someone who swears by bullet journals they are extremely useful for keeping track of everything in one place. You can use different formats and personalize your journal as much as you want. I have included posts of how to use bullet journals here and here. You can add these markers and pens to get them started.
Smart Mug
For all you super techie people this mug is perfect for you. I haven’t tried it yet but it’s in my wish list and I think it’s probably a great investment! I always get pulled away from my coffee so this warming mug would be excellent for keeping my coffee warmed up!
There you have it! The ultimate gift ideas for a millennial. If you think I missed something let me know!
