It\u2019s not long now until Thanksgiving, a time when family and friends get together to share turkey, cornbread and pie, exchange gifts, then loosen their belts and pass out on the couch for a few hours. If you\u2019re hunting for the perfect Thanksgiving gifts this year, we\u2019ve put together a few ideas to help you out.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Gift Ideas for the hosts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make no mistake, hosting Thanksgiving requires a lot of hard work and effort. You\u2019ve got to arrange the decorations, organise the seating so that the kids can\u2019t hear the jokes Uncle Mike and Uncle Phil are telling, get up at 6am to put the turkey in the oven and spend most of the day trying to keep the dog out of the kitchen. Then there\u2019s the washing-up to handle afterwards. Your hosts deserve something truly special for Thanksgiving, but you can also think about what they\u2019re really <\/em>likely to appreciate, such as a dessert dish, a big bottle of something alcoholic, or a handwritten promise that you\u2019ll host next year!<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Experience Gifts for Mom<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost everyone loves Thanksgiving, but maybe none more so than Mom. This is when the whole family comes together under one roof, often with people traveling hundreds of miles to get there in time. For that reason, you might like to think about ways to keep the memories, such as with a Polaroid camera to capture impromptu scenes, along with a photo album, or having an artist friend hand-draw a sketch of all the family together around the table.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Gift Ideas for Dad<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If your Dad<\/a> is anything like mine then he\u2019s going to be happy with anything that makes his Thanksgiving as relaxed as possible. You could try for a classic like a new pair of comfortable slippers, or a warm cardigan; something funny like a spare set of batteries for the TV remote, or something really cool like a fancy new set of carving knives for sharing out the turkey.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Gift Ideas for Kids<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a kid you look forward to Thanksgiving for months in advance – seeing all your cousins, gorging on amazing food, watching great movies on TV, and of course the gifts. If your Thanksgiving is going to involve what feels like an army of kids running around playing, then it might be an idea to think of gifts that they can all either share or play together, and things that are going to keep them quiet. What about handicraft sets, with plenty of paintbrushes and paper to go around, or the all-time classic for parents needing a break sometimes – board games!<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Gift Ideas for Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s still time if you want to create really unique Thanksgiving gifts for your friends this year. It doesn\u2019t need to be a box set or the obvious bottle of wine. Find an afternoon to jar up some homemade jam, put together a collage of pictures of you all together, or even make them a mixtape of songs that are special to your group.<\/p>\n

Remember that if you\u2019re looking for something really different, a Tinggly experience voucher is the ultimate unique Thanksgiving gift idea. From thrilling bungee jumps to romantic hot air balloon rides, wine-tasting in prestigious vineyards to memorable meals for two, there\u2019s a whole world of experiences out there just waiting to be explored.<\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at Tinggly!<\/strong><\/p>\n
