Easy Hair Related Christmas Gifts You Can Get Quickly

Christmas gift giving season is in full effect. Black Friday has come and gone and we are just days away from the big day. Before you know it, it will be next year.

Giving gifts to all those on your list can seem like a big task. And as with all big tasks, the best way to tackle them is to break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces. You can definitely apply that same concept to something like gift giving.

This can mean making categories or grouping those on your list by labeling them ‘family’ or ‘friends’ or ‘coworkers’, whatever works best for you. Once you’ve broken them down, then decide what types of gifts to give. Gag gifts, educational gifts, money, and so on.

In this article, we’re going to focus on hair related Christmas gifts. You will be able to pinpoint those in your life who will appreciate a hair related gift. You know the ones who are into the latest hair trends. Or that one cousin you’ve never seen without her hair laid just so. Those are the ones you can cross off your list by picking up these go-to gifts.

Why hair gifts?

Hair gifts fit into that subset of gifts labeled as useful. They’re often very practical and you can rest assured that the person lucky enough to receive it will not be looking at it a year from now trying to figure out how to re-gift it.

There is a catch to giving useful gifts, you have to either be very close to the receiver so you know exactly what to give, or you have to be vague, while still nailing it. No worries, the four gifts listed below all work.

How to make hair gifts fun?

Presentation is everything. This is especially true when it comes to gift giving. Take some time and put some effort into the way your package your gift. This year has seen the rise in popularity of gift bags over traditionally wrapped gifts.

Gift bags are easy peasy. Tissue paper, a decorative bag, and a well thought out gift tag get you where you need to be.

Another way to amp up a hair related Christmas gift is to DIY the wrapping paper and accents. That way, the person you’re giving the gift to will be pleasantly surprised when they tear into the gift and find that there’s an actual store bought present inside. Pair that with the personal touch of your DIY wrapping and you’ll have a WIN-WIN gift-giving session.

What to look for in hair gifts?

Be mindful of whether you are picking up a gift for a relaxed or natural family member or friend. This distinction will narrow your choices while keeping things relevant. Next, you want to decide on a hair product or tool.

If you know enough about them, you can opt for a product. When choosing a hair product, go for a smaller item. It doesn’t have to be a sample size, but you don’t want to give them a gallon-sized tub of moisturizer either. Keep in mind that the product may not work for them or their hair type.

You can go in a different direction and get a tool. This will open up a lot of possibilities for you. Styling tools are great gifts. Does she need a new flat iron* because hers shoots out sparks when she plugs it in? Maybe a new blow dryer* or even a hooded dryer* for the diva who does her own hair.

Basics are also great gifts when given in bulk. You don’t have to rack your brain for this one to be a hit. Simply buy a large quantity and see the steps above on getting creative with the packaging. Remember that you want your gift to be well received, but also useful.

4 Hair Related Christmas Gift Ideas

Heat styling tools

Titanium and tourmaline flat irons* have gained popularity lately. They’re marketed as being better than traditional ceramic irons. Picking up a new one would be a great gift. If you opt for this type gift, make sure to also pick up a return receipt from the retailer.

Bobby Pins*/Hair Pins

At first glance, this seems odd, but ask any woman with hair how many bobby pins* have mysteriously disappeared in her life and you will hear, “A million!” Very useful and practical gift.

Seamless combs*

These combs are beneficial, but they tend to cost a bit more than the average comb and they’re also not always readily available in stores. Grabbing one and gifting it would be a great way to say Merry Christmas.

T-shirt

A well-made t-shirt with a clever slogan or sassy saying is sure to go over well. With so many creative designs floating around, you can find the perfect one for the big day.

These gift ideas work well separately but don’t be afraid to mix and match any of them for added effect. Happy Holidays.
