Backup Gifts
Is there anything worse than someone getting you a gift... and you realize you didn't get them anything? Even the best of us have gotten caught in this awkward situation. So how about grabbing some useful gifts that will work for just about anyone?
Food Storage
All. of. the. leftovers.
Holidays are never lacking in the food department! So when everyone has had their fill, then what? You'll want to make sure you have plenty of containers to safely store all of your delicious holiday food!
Phone Chargers
If you're going to be traveling, having a spare charger will definitely come in handy! It's a common item we forget to pack. Grab an extra one to keep in your purse, backpack or car so you won't get stuck with a dead battery!
Drink Charms
Hosting a holiday party? Having charms for your wine glasses will help with the whole drink mix up. A fancier way to mark everyone's drink, instead of using solo cups and markers!
Greeting Cards
This goes back to the whole having a back up gift. Having holiday greeting cards on hand can definitely be useful. Plus, you can always stick some cash in there-- that's a great gift!
Air Mattress
If you're housing holiday guests, and don't have enough beds, you'll definitely want to consider grabbing an air mattress or two. While they aren't always the most comfortable, it's still better than having to lay directly on the floor!
Extra Toothbrushes
With a lot of holiday guests, there's bound to be at least one person who forgot to pack their toothbrush. Have a few on hand just in case-- it never hurts!
Coat Rack
This isn't really a necessity... but if you hate scattered coats and hats during parties or when family is visiting-- having a coat rack will help you keep your sanity and space clutter free!
