Family is at the heart of a traditional American Christmas, but due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, this year is certainly going to be quite different. With lockdowns, social distancing guidelines and spending less time socialising and getting merry with family and friends, Thanksgiving and Christmas will likely be a more quiet and intimate affaire. For those with relatives in different cities and states, catching up over Christmas dinner might not be possible this year, so sending a unique Christmas gift might be the only way to show loved ones how much you’ve missed them over the holidays. At Great American Gifts, we understand how difficult it has been for many families across the US this year, but as the New Year finally comes into sight, it’s time to look to the future and celebrate the importance of family by sending a heartfelt, personalized present to family and friends this holiday.

Global Pandemic & Family Celebrations

Hundreds of thousands of families across the United States have been affected by the on-going global pandemic. From those with sons and daughters working on the frontline, saving lives and putting themselves at risk of infection, to families struggling to keep businesses ticking over and those sadly left unemployed, 2020 has undoubtedly been a significantly tough, stressful and worrying year so far. Although, this shouldn’t impact how we celebrate special occasions moving forward. Yes, the global pandemic and social distancing measures might be making it increasingly hard to celebrate birthday parties and plan gettogether for Halloween and Thanksgiving but, this shouldn’t put an end to marking a special occasion, and making family memories together. In fact, thanks to technology, we can now plan family quiz nights, attend children’s birthday parties and even catch up with grandparents digitally. Using video call software, instant messaging apps and social media, we can still share news about our children, catch up with parents, celebrate achievement and make relatives feel loved online. As we start to think about Christmas, it’s important to consider how you help to support loved ones currently isolating or unable to visit this over Christmas. To help them feel included and appreciated over the holiday season, consider buying a thoughtful and unique Christmas gift idea.

The Importance Of Family

The bonds that tie family members together are hard to break. Family and loved ones support, appreciate, respect and love unconditionally, and family will always be there to catch you should you fall. The importance of family has become even more apparent due to the global pandemic. With so many fatalities this year alone to the virus, it has shown us how precious life is and how things can change in the blink of an eye. With this in mind, the importance of family and friends is clearer than ever before, and many people are feeling the need to show their love and appreciation, not with material items and expensive gifts, but instead by spending quality time with loved ones and creating meaningful memories together. If you are unable to spend time with grandparents, parents or loved ones this holiday season, due to social distancing measures or perhaps another lockdown, you may be searching for a unique Christmas gift to send. To find a gift that will put a smile of your family’s face, consider a piece of art, a family canvas that they can hang in their home and will remind them of you while you are required to stay away.

Unique Christmas Gift Ideas

People don’t need lots of presents under the Christmas tree to feel loved. In fact, children often prefer your undivided attention over a shiny new toy. This is the same when it comes to finding a gift for adults over Christmas. Don’t be swayed by spending your hard-earned cash on a designer perfume, expensive piece of jewelry or perhaps a new smartphone. This year, find a gift that offers something different. A surprise that will warm their hearts. A unique Christmas gift should include an element of personalization. Anyone can jump online and find a standard off-the-shelf gift, but when you take the time to add a personal element to your unique Christmas gift, it really shows that you’ve put time and effort into the present you’ve chosen. A gift that you can add someone’s name to, a present that can be custom-made or perhaps a piece of art that includes your family’s picture or names, makes for a wonderful gift idea. Whether you’re searching for a unique Christmas gift, or perhaps a birthday present, feel free to take a look at our online collection at Great American Gifts.
