6. Lovely indoor plant to keep the blues away

Still searching for an eye-catching and unique Christmas gift? Consider this pot of wholesome succulents to make the holidays merry and bright.
Succulents are excellent at air-cleansing and toxin-removal to spruce up the space. They are the most forgiving of plants, even those with less than green thumbs would find them easy to grow and bloom.

8. A basket packed full of healthy Christmas treats
Healthy Pleasure by Gift Hampers
Price: HK$830
Surely, Christmas is the time of year filled with plenty of sugary treats, but holiday cheer does not have to be grounded in baked goods and candies. Your friends, family and relatives will appreciate this festive basket of healthy snacks that are low on sugar and high in nutrition — and you for keeping nutritional value in mind.
9. Throw a merry Christmas dinner
Relish Christmas at home in style
Price: depending on your budget
What is more precious than celebrating Christmas exclusively with your loved ones at home, away from the crowds?
Whether it is cooking your own nutritious feast from scratch, buying ready-cooked meals or having your roast turkey cooked and delivered to your door, you can cozy down spending quality time together at the table with Christmas spirit in full swing.
Feather & Bone is one of the delis to help sort out your dinner spread, from a roast turkey roulade with fig and cinnamon stuffing served in cranberry sauce to a variety of classic side dishes.
10. Alternative therapies for the ultimate surprise
The unorthodox nourishing experience
Hesitant to call for a staycation wellness retreat, out of worry that it will not be worth the price? You can consider alternative therapies — an unorthodox option that goes a far longer way towards regaining or enhancing health. Naturopathy, meditation, homeopathy to name a few, may better cater your parents and loved ones’ needs.
You don’t have to offer them a package plan right away, a one-time experience can be the doorway to discovering and exploring their real needs.
Happy Holiday Shopping & Merry Christmas!
There you have it! This Christmas gift guide only aims to be a reference, what matters is that you do it mindfully.
One more tip: Doing it the old-fashioned way — attaching an extra Christmas card still works like magic in sending love and wishes.
Merry Christmas everyone!
