2022 Holiday Gift Guide for the Person who says ‘I Don’t Want Anything’

-

So, you’ve missed Black Friday, didn’t buy enough on Cyber Monday, or you just have too many loved ones to buy for— sometimes, we wait too long because we don’t know what to get.

Whatever the reason may be, don’t be that guy or gal who grabs a hoodie off the rack from the local gas station on Christmas Eve.

Messenger Papers has your back this holiday season.

Sentimental and Heartfelt

When it comes to showing someone how much you love them, the perfect gifts can be hard to find. Personal and custom shops can be all the help you need.

“Custom Star Map” is a personalized frame of the star constellation that was out on a special date of your choosing. It’s great for astronomy and zodiac lovers, and available on Amazon.

A “Photo Poem Print” is another great way to show someone you love them without having the exact words. You can add your own poem or trust the artists discretion painted next to your favorite photo. Shop for this gift on Etsy!

Find more “Sentimental and Heartfelt” gifts at Things Remembered. The site is having a site-wide sale for up to 75% off per item. You can also visit a sales representative at their store in the Smith Haven Mall.

Creative and Fun

For some people, the best gifts are intangible. Therefore, creating new memories can be the most exciting gift of all.

iFly, the one-of-a-kind indoor skydiving experience, is having up to 35% off this holiday season. Though, feeling like Superman is priceless. There are no locations on Long Island but make it a day trip in Westchester and Paramus, New Jersey– fun for ages 3 and up!

Give the gift of speed at the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience on Riverhead Raceway with an array of packages and laps. To drive, you must be 18 or older. Rusty Wallace also allows a ride-along with a professional for anyone 14 and up!

Both experiences can be found with super affordable deals on Groupon.com.

Random, yet Useful

You know those items you desperately want, but can’t wrap your mind around actually purchasing? These are those gifts.

For chefs who live alone- behold! The Automatic Pan Stirrer.

Found on Uncommon Goods, this pan stirrer will keep your sauce from burning while you complete other tasks. When the recipe calls for you to chop an onion and peel a zucchini, stirring remains uninterrupted.

A desktop vacuum cleaner works as a subtle hint to your messier coworkers as well. From crumbs to pencil shavings, this is the gift that keeps on giving (reminders that clean spaces are professional too!). Find it available for discounted rates on Amazon.

Don’t Forget: Free Shipping Day – December 14

It’s hard not to love this online holiday. Get the best deals with free shipping on some major retailers including Target, Best Buy, and GameStop and more. Some even guarantee shipping by Christmas Eve!
