With the holidays fast approaching, people are starting to plan their holiday shopping. But what do you get for people who aren’t living a normal life, or at least not the normal we’re used to?
We have compiled a list of some valuable items you can get for your loved ones this holiday season.
10 Gift Ideas for a Year Spent Under the COVID-19 Pandemic
- Air Purifier
Appliances are usually made for great gifts during the holidays. One of the best home appliances you can buy for your loved ones now is an air purifier since almost everyone is conscious about keeping their surroundings free of any germs, bacteria, or viruses that could compromise their health.
Note: When buying brand-new appliances, always make sure to ask for a warranty for parts and services. For instance, when you buy a dishwasher and it malfunctions, a dishwasher repair and services warranty will cover for the repairs or a replacement unit.
- Dehumidifier
A dehumidifier is another great choice in light of the current health climate. It takes out the humidity in the air and lowers the risk of allergies and other sicknesses triggered by mold, mildew, and other types of allergens.
- UV Lamp Sanitizer
UV lamp sanitizers have increased in popularity in the market with the coronavirus outbreak earlier this year. While it really doesn’t do the trick in eliminating the virus, it is quite helpful in disinfecting and taking out other harmful germs and bacteria.
- Hand Sanitizer Dispenser
Since the WHO and CDC outlined their coronavirus safety measures, hand sanitizers have been one of the items that sold like pancakes earlier in the pandemic. A nice hand sanitizer dispenser makes for a great gift for any household.
- Laptop Computer
Remote work and distance learning have boosted computer sales over the past six months. There are now a lot of affordable yet highly capable laptop computers that can take on a wide array of functions such as video editing, rendering, and gaming on top of the typical office and schoolwork they’re used for.
- Tablet
If laptop computers aren’t your thing, perhaps a tablet will suffice. Tablet computers are great for online classes and for entertaining kids after their classes. A lot of the apps used for both work and classes are compatible with tablets plus they offer greater portability compared to desktop or laptop computers.
- Exercise Equipment
Since most gyms and fitness clubs ceased operations due to COVID-19, a lot of folks have started working out at home. Getting your friends or family a kettlebell, yoga mat, resistance bands, or even just workout gear will contribute to their fitness journey.
- Stand Mixer
From banana bread to blueberry muffins, folks kept themselves occupied (and maintained their sanity!) under lockdown by keeping themselves busy in the kitchen. Getting a stand mixer for them might actually be therapeutic for them.
- Blender or Juicer
We all know how important it is to make sure our immune system is at optimum performance, especially since a strong immune system keeps the coronavirus at bay. A juicer or blender can help your family or friend get healthier by making their own high-nutrition drinks.
- Shelf-Stable Food Items
Sometimes, the biggest pleasures come from small things. Food that comforts us helps brighten our day. Some baked sugar-free treats or coffee or things to eat during cheat day can help lift people’s spirits.
Time to start working on your holiday shopping list. Happy shopping and stay healthy!
