December is a crazy month because everyone is preparing for the New Year holidays, decorating their homes, finishing unfinished business, and of course looking for gifts for family and friends. But it is not always possible to buy everything on time.

OBOZ.UA has compiled a selection of simple but useful gifts for the New Year that will definitely come in handy. If you are still looking for interesting ideas, then choose from the list below.

Battery-operated LED candle

This is not only an original but also a useful gift that will come in handy in case of a power outage. A candle is a beautiful decorative element and an alternative light source.

Home textiles

Towels or a warm blanket are versatile gifts that will come in handy during the cold season. You can also order an individual design or inscription, for example, for a bath towel.

Thermos

A thermos or a thermal mug is a good option for a gift if a person travels a lot or if they need it during a power outage. Buy some delicious tea, coffee, or cocoa, and your friend or family will drink hot drinks while remembering you.

Socks

At first glance, it seems that this is a boring idea and such a gift will only unpleasantly surprise your loved ones. But you need to be creative with this gift. You can choose socks with a bright New Year's design. There are also many options with humorous inscriptions and funny drawings.

Calendar

Choose calendars with recipes, interesting stories, or detailed information about a particular holiday. This gift will be useful and informative. It all depends on the person's preferences.

A set of cosmetics

Care cosmetics are always a good gift. Face, body, hand cream or shampoo will always come in handy.

Home fragrances

A pleasant scent in the house creates a special and cozy atmosphere. You can buy scented candles or incense sticks. The main thing is to know what kind of smell your loved ones like.
