Holiday Gift Shopping, WooCommerce Style
Unless you are an exceptionally organised person, and did all of your holiday shopping between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, chances are you’ll be hitting the shops (whether physically or virtually) over the next few weeks.
Sound familiar? Well don’t worry, we’ve scoured the web to find a great selection of WooCommerce gift ideas.
Gifts for Kids
Let’s face it, the holidays are just more magical and exciting when there are little ones around. And there are some great WooCommerce businesses out there who’ve got you covered with fun—yet educational—gifts for kids.
Green Kid Crafts
Green Kid Crafts has some special holiday boxes available, including an Around the World Holiday Pack and a Mad Scientist Discovery Box.
If you want the fun to last all year long for your kids, you could consider a Science and Craft Subscription. Each month your little one will receive three to four Creativity and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) kits that are “designed by experts to build confidence, flex creativity, and make kids smarter.”
Laser Pegs
Another great site is Laser Pegs. Laser Pegs are kits that combine two things that kids simply love: lights and building. My favourite is the National Geographic Dinosaur Laser Pegs Kit.
Gifts for Your Spouse
Want to get something special for that special someone? Here are some great options.
Art Wolfe
If your better half is a nature lover, you could consider a gift from the photographer and conservationist Art Wolfe’s online store. There are DVDs, puzzles and shirts, and beautiful posters.
Or if you want to get something really special, you could consider one of the stunning Open Edition Prints or Limited Edition Prints.
Dafina Jewelry
For the more traditional among you, there are some beautiful jewellery stores using WooCommerce.
One company that has a unique take on a traditional custom, is Dafina Jewelry, designed by Pouya Tavakoli.
The Dafina online store has some distinguished pieces on offer, such as the Puzzle Bangle or Morocco Pendant.
Gifts For Your Relatives
Who doesn’t like fudge? Nobody, that’s who.
The Original Murdick’s Fudge
Even the fussiest of relatives won’t be able to resist this gift idea.
The Original Murdick’s Fudge is a Northern Michigan fudge business that’s been around for over 125 years.
Murdick’s has put together some delicious-looking Holiday Gifts, including the Murdick’s Sampler (when ordering you can select your favourite fudge and brittle flavours, and your prefered shipping date), a Sweet Sampler, a Perfect Pairing, and a Mackinac Summer selection.
Ragstock
Or, if like my family, you have a bit of fun with a “white elephant gift exchange,” Ragstock has got you covered. You might want to contribute a Snowman Hawaiian Shirt if you’re in a hot climate, or a Reindeer Sweater if you’re in a cold one.
I’m also rather enamoured with Ragstock’s recycled 90s Jacket collection.
Other WooCommerce Gift Ideas
As you can see, there are countless WooCommerce stores out there offering great gift options for the holidays. What better way to find a unique, niche gift than to seek out an independent seller?
And if none of the above takes your fancy, don’t forget to check out businesses we have mentioned previously, like:
- Comic Cartel (I predict their Star Wars boxed set will be a big one this holiday season).
- Causegear for a truly meaningful gift. (The leather Day Tote is a beautiful classic).
- White Gum Wool for some of Nan Bray’s gorgeous superfine yarn in quintessentially Australian hues.
Happy shopping!
