Brownstone Holiday Gift Guide: Ideas #2-4

It's that time of the week again! In case you missed it, every Friday leading up to Christmas, Brownstone will reveal a gift idea (or more) from our Holiday Gift Guide. Today, we're focusing on gifts for your parents. Shopping for your parents can be very hard. What do you get the two people who have sacrificed so much for you? Well don't worry Brownstone is here to help and hopefully alleviate some of that stress. Check out this options:

Idea #2: Michael Jackson: The Experience (Wii)

Dance, sing and enjoy the holidays with the Michael Jackson: The Experience Wii game. Depending on where you purchase, the game runs between $35-$50. This is a great gift for parents because its the perfect way to bring the generation gap closer. I'm sure your parents grew up with Michael Jackson and now you can enjoy a fun family game night with the addition of this game to your collection.

Idea #3: Customize Your Gift

Get creative this holiday season and make your parents a gift. However, this particular idea is for dads. A online company called Zazzle will allow you to personally design a tie. You can put your picture on it or create your own design. This is really a cute idea that your dad will really appreciate the thought behind. Not feelin' the tie idea? You can also personalize other gifts on the site as well. Check out Zazzle.com for more information!

Idea #4: Spa Basket

Your mom works hard all year long, why not pamper her before the new year begins? I know it can be hard to treat your mom to a spa trip at 16, but that doesn't mean that you can't recreate the spa experience for her. Try putting together your own spa basket, with products that you know will help her relax. For example:
  • Scented candles (find her favorite scent)

  • Sugar body scrub

  • lofa scrub

  • Aromatherapy products

  • Bubble bath

  • lotion

You can easily find these products at Target or Bath and Body Works for a reasonable price.

  1. LOVE your gift ideas so far. I'm 25 years old and feel like I'm lightyears older than my 16 year old niece. I would love to create a "Survival Kit" for her this Christmas but can't quite figure out how to put it together. I was thinking about using a photo box or jewelry box and adding things like:
    Purse Mirror, Chapstick, Nail Polish, Basic cute tee, body spray, magazine, diary, make up bag... And that's all I have. It doesn't feel like a "complete" gift to me yet. Any ideas for other things I can add? I'm trying to keep it around $30.
    Thanks!

  2. Thanks so much! I'm glad that you're enjoying our Holiday Gift Guide series. For your survival kit I would also include:

    - a journal
    - picture frame
    - cute pens
    - cute pair of earrings/bracelet from Forever 21
    - one of her fav books or a book by an African American author

    But I think you have a lot of great things already! I hope our ideas help! Let us know how it goes.
