Buying and giving gifts is harder than you might think. A lot of people dread having to go Christmas shopping in the later year, and God forbid anyone has a birthday coming up. It doesn’t help that a lot of people don’t know what they want to receive, and thus we’re desperately left to scrabble for a good idea to invest in.
If you’re the kind of person who dreads that scenario, this post is here to save you. After all, we’re not all gifted with the gift of…gift giving, and it’s time to change that! Here’s a couple of ideas that’ll hopefully spark some inspiration in you when the time comes to impress your friends and family with how well you know them.
Focus on Transport
Transport is an important part of life as we need to commute to work and go out, or meet our friends and travel for a good holiday when we want. And there’s plenty of gifts you can buy within this sector that are both practical and nice to receive. A traincard, for example, or a year long bus ticket that’ll take them all around a certain region. Or maybe even pay for their first 5 or so driving lessons. These will help make transport less of a hassle here.
If they have got a personal transport, you’ve got a bit more freedom here. You’re probably not going to be able to afford exactly what your mom wants; after all, cars are expensive, and you just can’t fork out for one on a whim! But you can still buy some practical items that can customise their old one, or signify that a bigger gift is coming in the future. You could even tell your mother that you’re going to try and ‘Find your Perfect Private Number Plate!’, and let her start rolling around town in style.
Find Some Clothes
If you want to buy someone a gift that’s going to keep on giving, try investing in the clothes department. Whatever you pick out here is going to serve someone for a few years to come (as long as you know the general themes of what someone else likes when it comes to their style).
Socks are an especially good gift to give, as long as your giftee is over the age of 18. Kids don’t tend to be all that impressed by such a mundane item, but adults love them. You can get creative patterns and funny slogans on them as well, so there’s something for everyone.
Actually, accessories as an overall work well here- hats and scarves are always nice touches, especially if you have your knitting skill to put to good use; and everyone loves to open a box and see jewellery inside it. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, whatever!
Give some great gifts this year, whenever you need to, by using guides like this as your steering wheel. People often don’t know what they’d like to receive, so make your gift good enough to show them!

Huawei has surprised the world with its revolutionary P20 smartphone and to be honest, ever since news of it came about; I was very much tempted to get my hands on it because the P20 is not just an ordinary smartphone. In fact, the P20 is the world’s first Leica triple camera smartphone that is armed with the world’s largest 40-megapixel lens and a ridiculously high ISO of 102400! What this means is that low-light photography is possible and every image taken by the P20 can be printed billboard-sized without being pixelated.
What I also do like about the P20 is its big battery capacity of 4000mAh and that is almost one and a half times more than the iPhone X! This means that with the P20, you can take more photos than usual and share them on social media all day long!
Running on Huawei’s one Kirin 970 AI chipset, the P20 can optimise itself to your usage habits and dedicate more RAM to those more frequently used apps!

Having heard and read so many positive reviews about the P20, I have no doubt that Huawei is one step to becoming one of the top market leaders in the highly competitive smartphone industry with a niche in smartphone photography.
With an attractive price point, the P20 is definitely the smartphone to get if you’re into photography because you don’t need to lug all your gears to take those visually stunning photographs!
