All I want for Christmas is you~

Christmas is a time to gift your loved one with something he or she wouldn’t fork out for, for getting a nicer version of an item he needs or loves.

It is also even to buy something you want and like, but knowing that you wouldn’t buy it for yourself; and knowing that someone else would definitely like it (complicated, but true!)

 

1. Pets

Why do we love our pets so?

 

The happiness of our pets isn’t complicated the way human happiness is. And when we see them happy, we are happy too.

 

Mr HSB, can I get a dachshund for Christmas this year? *puppy eyes*

 

One important note though: Do not buy a pet if you cant be responsible for its happiness and well-being. And make his Christmas, by adopting him from a local shelter.

2. A survival kit for work/school

With school starting soon, your kid will be happy with a Christmas/back-to-school survival kit. 

Show your kid/girlfriend your love by remembering what she likes and make her happy with her favourite mid-noon snack or her favourite figurine. Take time to assemble it.

Also, add on personalised messages for each:

Instead of “Is your dad a baker? Cos you’ve got great buns”, say “I will be the cheese to my hun-bun bun, sticky and gooey and being your favourite sun”.

Just kidding, but think of a message for each item!

3. Lunch bags

There are two ways to read this. You can get her a cute bag for her to put her wallet, phone, tissues in when she goes for lunch, or make her a packed lunch and put it in a lunch bag on Christmas Eve.

Yes, girls find their man cute when they don the apron. A man who cooks, always earns an extra brownie point for me!

4. Smartphone Attachable Lens-style Camera

This works for girls (and guys) who want to experiment with DSLR – simply mount these lens to your smartphone to capture DSLR-standard pictures and videos, and share them with your friends and family afterwards.

5. Luggage Covers

Had enough of unfurling the plastic wrap that your girlfriend paid for at the airport? Get her a pretty luggage cover to protect her luggage from the elements.

A little more about the author

Missy HSB will also be writing for HSB in future, if you have been keeping up with our HSB posts. She grew up in the era of Missy Elliot, an American rapper, and Adee. She also likes it that Missy Elliot is different, strong and excels in what she does. She doesn’t like the term Mrs because it makes her feel old, and hence chose Missy – her go-to term when she scolds anyone ;)
