There is a mere week left until everyone’s favourite holiday — Christmas! Soon, the colorful lights and decorations will be put up around the school and also around Hong Kong. The holiday is dedicated to merry and bright days, but it can also be stressful for many who are struggling to pick a gift for their peers. Juggling between school work, after-school activities and other hobbies, who has the time to come up with thoughtful and useful gifts? Before the jolly season begins, have you yourself thought of any present ideas to give to your friends and family yet? Well, the RCHK Leek’s guide to the top 10 fun gifts for Christmas is here for you!
2. Custom T-Shirt
The t-shirt printing business will always be lucrative. This is the perfect gift for the friend who always wants “nothing.” Come on, there is no way they would want nothing for Christmas at all. After all, everyone loves receiving gifts, no matter if they are intentional or not. Getting a custom t-shirt is great because you can put whatever you want on it, whether it is an inside joke, a funny phrase or just any random text in general. This can be ordered on Amazon, Ebay and many other vendors that do custom designs for their customers.
3. Bluetooth Banana Phone
“Talk More, Smile More, Save Gorillas.” Ever known someone who loves the idea of getting a new phone? Well, this is a spectacular gift for them! With fantastic features such as allowing up to 20 hours of talking time, 120 hours of idle time, a rechargeable battery and an environmentally friendly design, who would resist this fun cell phone? The Banana Phone uses Bluetooth technology to connect to your smartphone and acts as a silly accessory to bring around and prank others. Once it is paired with a smartphone, you will never want to use a smartphone again! The Bluetooth Banana Phone is sold online on www.bananaphone.io.
4. Student Loans Candle
Hopefully this candle will allow the recipient to forget about their student loans…
Student loans. Who would want to be reminded of them throughout Christmas? Christmas should be happy and should be distracting you from the constant burden of student loans. Not only does it give out a sense of relief, but it also smells good! Get a candle to burn all of those worries out! Any student would be grateful and glad to receive such a present. Buy a candle and write LOANS” on it with a black permanent marker, any cheap candle from shops like Cottthe words “STUDENT on On will work just fine!
5. The Rock Christmas Sweater
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. Everyone wants a Christmas Sweater from their grandma to stay warm due to the cold weather. Since normal sweaters are boring, why not get a sweater with The Rock’s face on it? Its attention-drawing design attracts many pedestrians and gets the person in the right mood for the merry season! As The Rock says, “You either play the game or let the game play you.” With this sweater, the game will definitely not be able to be played by you! This sweater can be found on Amazon with many reasonable prices.
6. Electronic Talking Bird
Chirp Chirp! What was that? An electronic talking bird?
This is the ideal gift for someone who is dying for a pet but cannot have one. An electronic bird not only can chirp, but it can also sing songs and jump around. Its incredibly realistic and cute design has attracted many children to beg their parents to buy it (trust me, I have one too.) This can be found at any ToysRUs nearby your home!
7. Gallon of Ketchup
Who doesn’t love ketchup? Do not try to tell me you don’t use up all the ketchup when eating fries at Mcdonalds. With this gift, you will never run out of ketchup to use at home or outside (but preferably at home because it might be awkward bringing around a gallon of ketchup outside.) Its red color is also perfect for Christmas! Buy this at Wellcome or ParkNShop!
8. ‘Cards Against Humanity’ Card Game
The Cards Against Humanity card game has always been popular amongst people our age, especially on holidays when we can all play it with our friends and family members! Along with the other party games, Cards Against Humanity will surely give your peers a good laugh and start up the holiday spirit. Although this card game is a bit hard to find in Hong Kong, it can be found on big websites such as Amazon, Ebay, or even Taobao!
9. Inflatable Tube Man Costume
What can be better than an inflatable tube man? An inflatable tube man costume! Can you imagine walking around the streets on Christmas Eve with this fun costume counting down to Christmas Day along with many other citizens of Hong Kong? Looking at the picture below already looks incredibly tempting! Anyone with a sense of humour would love to receive this gift. Again, it can be bought online on vendors like Amazon and Ebay.
10. Toe Socks
Socks have always been a classic Christmas gift, but why not spice it up a little?
There are plenty of fun designs for toe socks and it is an interesting gift for people of all ages. With its funny gap between the toes, it is sure to make a hilarious gift! Toe socks can be found all around Hong Kong in clothing stores in places like Sham Shui Po, Tsuen Wan, or basically just any place that sells socks in Hong Kong. Not to mention they are also really affordable too!
11. Lumps of Coal
“Santa Says You’ve Been Naughty!” Last but not least on our list, is everyone’s favourite fun (and easiest to find) Christmas gift — lumps of coal! This gift is not necessarily given to people who have been naughty, but it can be just for laughs too! Pick up some rocks from your local garden/park and put them in a bag or a jar. This present will definitely earn you some cool points throughout the holidays!
