How to Choose a Sleep Gift for Everyone on Your Holiday Shopping List

The holiday season is upon us! And you know what that means—it’s time to think about the gifts you’ll be giving all your loved ones this year. There’s no need to lose sleep over picking out the perfect presents, even when they’re hoping for something that’ll bring them a few coveted extra Z’s. 

Figuring out that perfect sleep-worthy gift without help from Santa and his elves can feel a little overwhelming, but luckily, you’ve come to the right place. Not to toot my own horn too loudly, but I pride myself on knowing how to choose a gift for a friend or family member that elicits tons of “oohs” and “ahhhs.” 

If you’re ready to do the same, keep reading. I’ve put together all the tips and tricks you’ll need to give the perfect gift and compiled a host of gifts that promote better sleep for everyone on your list (including yourself, hint hint).

How to choose a sleep gift for someone

First and foremost, it’s important to think through your gift giving strategy. Here’s what you’ll need to do.

1. Decide on a budget

How much do you want to spend? Maybe the sky’s the limit or maybe you only have a few dollars to put toward a gift. 

Either way is completely fine and also completely up to you and your budget. Think it through first, which can help you narrow down what types of gifts to look for.

2. Solve a problem

When you’re wondering how to choose a gift for someone, thinking about the issues they’re facing can definitely be helpful. 

Does your giftee need something in particular to improve their sleep situation? Maybe they’ve complained about having trouble sleeping. 

Perhaps they travel a lot and need to up the ante on their hotel sleep. Or what if they need to block out light in their room (oooh, maybe an eye mask would work!). 

3. What are their interests?

Here’s the thing. Any giftee wants to get a gift they actually, well, want. What does your sister, brother, best friend, mom, dad, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife (OK, you get the picture) really and truly want? What do they like to do? 

The sky’s the limit with great gifts, but what really makes one stand out from the crowd is when you show you know them. For example, one year I bought my brother a bunch of DVDs of all his favorite ’80s and ’90s movies because he didn’t own them yet, and he knew I’d thought about the movies he loved the most. 

4. Personalize it

If your loved one loves a monogram, a personalized gift will go a long way. Look for items that can be customized with their name, initials, even their zodiac sign—opening that up will be sure to put a smile on their face.

5. Treat their nightstand

When you think about how to choose a gift for sleep, it’s about more than just the traditional pillow or sheet set. Your loved one’s sleep experience encompasses so much more than just getting in bed and drifting off to dreamland. 

A well-appointed nightstand will bring them a little extra peace before bedtime too. Think about a gift like a scented candle, diffuser, or a high-tech alarm clock.

The perfect sleep gift for every budget

It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for…time to pick the perfect sleep gift, no matter your budget! I’ve rounded up gifts at a variety of price points to help you become a total wrap star.

FAQs

What is the 5 gift rule?

The 5-gift rule is exactly what it sounds like—each recipient on your list will get five gifts. However, those gifts aren’t random! The five gifts encompass these categories:

• Something they want: A fun item the recipient will enjoy
• Something they need: A practical or functional gift
• Something to wear: Clothes or accessories
• Something to read: A book, magazine, e-reader subscription, anything they actually have to read
• Something to experience: A special gift that creates memories, like a family outing or a girls’ trip

Figuring out how to choose a gift for someone is much easier by utilizing the 5-gift rule since it helps simplify shopping, curves overspending on gifts the person won’t need or enjoy, and focuses on the meaning behind each gift.

What should you consider when choosing a gift?

First and foremost, when you’re figuring out how to choose a gift for someone, it’s important to actually think about that person. Knowing how to choose a gift for a friend or family member is much easier when you really think about who they are and what they would like. Focus on their interests, activities, and needs to help decide what they’d like to receive.
