I can say with relative confidence that there are very few people in this world who dislike Nutella. If you are determined to gift something that comes in a glass bottle for Christmas, swap the old bottle of wine for a “lifetime supply” of Nutella, which is the perfect present for people of all ages. You can buy several packs of the stuff on sale, since the holiday season is here, and dig into it after a hearty Christmas dinner.
If you have the time and resources, then you can also get personalized jars of Nutella, with the recipient’s name printed on the label, in the same font and color. If that isn’t one of the most unique Christmas gift ideas ever, know what is!
4. A five-year journal

A five-year journal is one of the most romantic and nostalgic things you could give someone, and Christmas is the perfect time to go around giving out five-year journals. These are diaries, where you fill in a line for each day of the year, and once the year ends, you start from the beginning, and fill in another line for each day, under the line you had written for that same day, only last year.
It is a wonderful way to keep track of your life, your progress, your mind, your growth and your memories. Also, because these are special journals, they come in super pretty colors and designs, and make for the most perfect gifts ever!
