Gift ideas

Confessions of a Christmas tree
Every year, from my corner of the living room, I witness the same spectacle: the techno uncle, the cake grandma, the annoying little cousin who causes chaos, and so on!
Under my branches, each gift tells a story: that of the one who chose it. Touching, original, or improvised, believe me, I can always guess their origin even before the wrapping paper touches the ground.
After so many years of observing everything, I decided to reveal my biggest secrets as inspiration!
The annoying little cousin
Ah, I spot him as soon as he enters! Always ready to grab a cookie before dessert, he fidgets with impatience before the gift opening. His packages? Often wrapped crookedly, taped haphazardly, but with a lot of vigor. Inside? Funny, quirky, and unexpected surprises!
The cake grandma
With her, everything smells of sugar, vanilla, and love. She always takes the time to adjust a poorly hung ornament on my branches and has an impressive talent for making you give in to one more cream candy. I recognize her gifts at first glance: floral paper, golden ribbon, small handwritten tag. Inside, there are thoughtful, delicious surprises filled with love.
The techno uncle
He always starts by testing the nearest electrical outlet to plug in a new gadget. His gifts often beep, blink, and require some sort of update or an impromptu demo. As for the wrapping, it’s precise, neat, and adorned with a nicely aligned ribbon!
The family artist
I really like her! She once decorated me in a ‘bohemian minimalist’ style. Her gifts are identifiable by their recycled papers, natural fiber twine, and handmade finishing touches. Inside? Creativity and always a personalized surprise! With her, every gift becomes a work of art.
The fashion aunt
She always turns heads when she arrives. Always impeccably dressed, she never goes unnoticed. Under my branches, her packages are true accessories: metallic papers, perfectly tied bows, and matching card. Thanks to her impeccable sense of the latest trends, her gifts are elegant and perfectly chosen.
The last-minute guy
Ah, the one who always sets me up at the last minute too! I recognize his packages first: gift bags still warm from the store, often with the receipt still inside. Even if he starts his holiday shopping when everyone else is finishing theirs, he always manages to find something practical, classic, and useful!
I’ll leave you to your shopping… I can’t wait to see what you’ll place under my branches this year.
