It’s that time of year: Spencer’s ultimate Christmas gift guide is here for your whole family! There’s nothing better than when the entire family makes it home for the holidays! Ironically there’s also nothing worse…
Christmas is upon us once again, so it’s time to start shopping for all those crazy people in your family who, coincidentally, you only see when presents are involved! Here come the typical “Look how big you’ve gotten!” and the “What happened to so and so?” questions about your ex. As you skillfully maneuver your way through the gauntlet of questions from the older generation, you’re quickly overpowered by a swarm of children from the younger generation. And then there’s you, who’s not having any of it.
The struggle is real when it comes to shopping for family and friends! You could just go the simple route and gift everyone cash or gift cards but where’s the thought in that? In order to truly put some thought behind each one of your gifts and to give you a better look at who’s typically at the annual Christmas party, we’ve put together the ultimate gift guide for dispersing your Christmas gifts to the family this holiday.
There’s not much time left before Christmas, so you better decide who’s getting what soon! To help you out, here’s our official Spencer’s 2019 Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide: Home Edition.
For the Crazy Cat Lady Grandma
How many cats does she have now? Eight? Nine? Grandma gotta chill. It’s no secret how much Grandma loves her feline friends, so when getting a gift for Grandma, any of our cat-themed items would be the perfect Christmas gift for her. Grandma always gets up bright and early, so something like our Early in the Morning Cat Coffee Mug would really make her feel special and help start the day off on the right paw! Grandma also loves her Golden Girls, so anything from our Golden Girls collection will be sure to make her feel young again.
For the Disgruntled Lazy Grandpa
Why so grumpy, Gramps? No need to be a Grinch this Christmas! Cheer up your disgruntled Grandpa when you decide to gift him one of our many fleece blankets or pairs of slippers. He hasn’t had his daily nap yet or his shot of whiskey so he’s definitely going to be on edge! Get one of our metal flasks as a gift for Grandpa so he can get a little tipsy before he’s out like a light. A few more shots of eggnog should do the trick!
For the Angsty Teen
Who knows how long this phase will last? Hopefully it’ll pass, but for now it’s best to just go with the flow and accept it. Give the angsty teen in your family a way to accessorize their look with an assortment of body jewelry for Christmas. You can help them embrace their newfound sense of fashion with some official Steven Rhodes t-shirts to add a little dark humor to their outfit. And you know they’re not a morning person, so why not piss them off with an offensive attitude mug while you’re at it?
For the Aunt Who Always Gets Way Too Drunk
Dammit Aunt Kathy. Every year! Another family Christmas party means another year of Aunt Kathy’s drunk shenanigans! There’s nothing that would make Aunt Kathy’s night more, than receiving some quality wine glasses and shot glasses as her Christmas gift! And did we mention how much she loves Friends? Anything from our collection of Friends merch will make her drunkenly burst out into the classic theme song. There’s a reason she’s known as the crazy cool aunt.
For the Uncle Who You Aren’t Sure Is Really Your Uncle
You know Unc better than you know half of the family at the Christmas party. What you still aren’t sure of after all these years is “is if he’s actually in the family?” It’s an age-old question and yet no one ever asks or brings up. Is he just an old friend? An old college roommate? Who knows? But apparently he’s your “uncle.” He’s always been into scary movies and his over-the-top obnoxious reactions are hilarious! So getting something like a horror t-shirt or horror fleece blanket as a gift for your uncle would be amazing. Or instead, get him in the Christmas spirit by gifting him one of our officially licensed horror ugly Christmas sweaters.
For the Annoying Little Brother
He’s loud, full of energy, and a real pain in the ass. He’s your little brother, and he’s in the Christmas spirit tonight! Still need to get him that perfect gift? Getting gifts for teen boys can be pretty difficult, especially with their short attention spans and constantly changing interests. Luckily, any of our gaming t-shirts and anime merch will be sure to get them excited and on their feet!
For the Bratty Little Sister
She’s just like your little brother, except way more spoiled. Did you really expect anything else from Mom and Dad’s youngest? Of course not! She’s everyone’s little princess on the outside but in reality she’s actually a total brat! She’ll go crazy for some officially licensed merch from some of her favorite shows and movies like Lilo & Stitch and Stranger Things. Keep them warm with one of our officially licensed Lilo & Stitch fleece blankets or add to their style by securing them a Stranger Things t-shirt. We also carry a large assortment of The Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirts, fleece, and drinkware as well! The princess always seems to get what she wants.
For That Cousin You Only See On Christmas and Easter
They’re one of the only people you can truly tolerate in this family. They’re one of your favorite cousins, yet you only see each other around the holidays. But shopping for them is almost like shopping for yourself so this should be easy! Let the hilarity ensue when they see you gifted them official merch from Rick and Morty like licensed hats, tees, pillows, fleece blankets, drinkware and more! Not into TV so much? Try spreading some good vibes instead by getting him one of our many lava lamps or music t-shirts.
For the Awkward Next Door Neighbors
The Grant family has lived next door for years; almost as long as you can remember. So you’d think by now that you would be more than well-accustomed to their strange quirks. Well, here comes a newsflash! You aren’t! It seems like every year they always end up surprising you. Flip the script and surprise them this year when you go out on a limb and get them some officially licnesed merch from some of their favorite shows like The Office and Breaking Bad.
For the Misbehaved Nephew
We all have one of these kids in the family: Just a terrible little troublemaker for no reason. He literally has it so good and yet he’s so bad! Get the kid to calm down and behave once you get them some gear from our anime collection, like a Naruto T Shirt or some official Dragon Ball Z merch! We also have plenty of official My Hero Academia gear for you pick up as a gift as well.
For the Stressed Out Mother
After a long day of cooking and cleaning in preparation for the annual holiday dinner, you can probably tell that Mom’s exhausted. After hours of decorating and wrapping presents, a gift of her own would really make her night. Show love for your mama when you get her a gift that’s bound to make her feel young again! When getting gifts for mom, you can never go wrong with some extra style to add to her wardrobe! Check out the rest of our sassy attitude mugs and fleece blankets too, so mom can sit down and relax with a nice cup of hot cocoa at the end of the night.
For the Dad Who’s Obviously Dressed as Santa
C’mon, Dad; you aren’t fooling anyone! Not last year, not this year, and not the next year. Let Dad know he needs to give up the whole Santa thing and swap his suit for something a little more fitting. Our dad hat collection is the perfect place to look for gifts for Dad. We’ll have a new cap your pops will love no matter his style. He’ll feel just like he’s back in the ‘80s when you get him gear from his favorite bands of like Metallica and Motley Crüe.
For the Oldest One at the Kids Table
Many of us have probably been this kid at some point or another. As the years go on and each generation grows older, the children grow into teens, and then adults and then finally make their jump from the kids to the grown-up table. Getting gifts for teens is no easy task, but you can never go wrong with any of our officially licensed superhero merch. People of all ages love these timeless comic book characters so they’re perfect for someone who’s stuck in the middle.
For the Grinch in the Family
There’s always going to be that one person who for some reason just isn’t in the Christmas spirit. Try and bring a smile to their face when you pick out one of our hilarious gag gifts to give as a present. Whether you want to give them something silly and comical like a squeaking rubber chicken or something naughty and fun like a pair of squishy balls to release some tension, you most definitely won’t be having a silent night after the laughs you’ll get!
As the old saying goes, you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your family. But you can pick your family’s gifts! No doubt you’ll make the right choice this holiday and get everyone exactly what they need when you decide to shop at Spencer’s.
Be sure to check out all of our holiday items and more so you’re giving the best gives ever this year. Start shopping now!
