Mystery & Thrillers, Drama, Sci-Fi, Romance, Travel, Self-help – with so many titles across diverse genres, you’re sure to find something that you’ll love.

2 An On-the-Go Coffee Maker

We can hear all the coffee lovers cheering for this one. While you can always grab a coffee from a local cafe, nothing can beat a cup that you’ve brewed for yourself. And that’s what makes a portable coffee maker a necessity.

There is a wide range of portable coffee makers available online, so prepare yourself to be spoiled for choice. You’ll be able to brew that perfect pick me up at home, at work, or even on the road.

3 Gym Membership

Gym membership is a gift that will kill two birds with one stone. By giving yourself this present, you will make a commitment to improve your mental and physical health. This is what investing in yourself looks like.

What’s more, with gym membership in hand, you can usher in the new year on a positive note.

4 Potted Plants

Move over, scented candles. There’s a new kid in the block. Moreover, you don’t need to have a green thumb to benefit from one or two plants in your house or patio.

From improving your mood and reducing stress to improving overall well-being, there are many benefits of having plants around. Additionally, pot plants can give your home or office space a bright and welcoming vibe.

There are plenty of plants to choose from, but if you want something that will give you the most rewards for the minimal amount of effort, you can’t go past succulents.

5 Stationery Sets

Let’s face it. Irrespective of what your age is, you can never have enough stationery. You’ll always need notebooks, paper, sketch pens, pencils, highlighters, and markers.

So what better way to prepare for the new year than by stocking up on these essential items and treating yourself at the same time with a lovely stationery set or two? If you don’t end up using everything you bought, remember that stationery sets can double up as excellent gifts for others.

6 Travel Backpack

An impromptu road trip with friends, a presentation at the office, a weekend getaway at a resort — it’s not hard to imagine a scenario where a travel backpack can come in handy. A sturdy travel backpack makes a great gift for yourself that you’re sure to get plenty of use out of.

7 Gift Coupons

Given the spontaneous nature of everyday living, you never know what you might need later down the line. If you don’t can’t think of anything at the moment, buy yourself some gift coupons that you can redeem them later to buy something you really need. The magic of coupons is that it puts this money away for your future self, so you won’t accidentally spend it on stuff you don’t need!

8 A Pair of Slippers

Ladies, this one is for you! It’s essential to wear the correct type of footwear, both indoors and outdoors. A good and sturdy pair of slippers can protect your feet, while keeping them warm and cozy.

Indoor footwear has been in vogue of late, with fur and sheepskin slippers making quite the splash. This trend is not surprising considering we’re all spending more time at home, and let’s you stay comfy and stylish at the same time!

Wrapping Up

While books, coffee-makers, comfy slippers, gift coupons, gym membership, potted plants, stationery sets, and backpacks are all excellent ideas – at the end of the day, you know yourself the best.

A present need not be something of material value. Even a promise to yourself counts as a gift. So, stop hesitating, and reward yourself with that Christmas present that you have always wanted. After all, you deserve it!
