Our Final Christmas 2022 Gift Ideas


With just 4 days until Christmas, we thought it would be fun to do a final post with some more last-minute Christmas gift ideas. If you’re a last-minute shopper, you’re in good company and you’ve come to the right place. We’ve shown you some of our favorite Christmas gift ideas as well as some good last-minute Christmas gift ideas. However, now we want to share some of our favorite Giftly Christmas gift ideas. 

Our favorite types of presents are the ones that give friends, family, and loved ones the gift of an experience or item they really want – such as a dinner at their favorite restaurant, a stay at their favorite hotel, a book from their favorite author, or an item of clothing from their favorite brand. However, what if you don’t know all their favorite things or live too far away to hand them a tangible present?

While it’s sometimes difficult to find the perfect present for someone, it’s easy to give a Giftly and a Giftly is the next best thing. When you send your recipient a Giftly, you give a suggestion about how they can use it, but then the choice is up to them! They can use it for the place or item you suggested or whatever else they like best since a Giftly is not limited to a single restaurant, hotel, item, or store, like most traditional gift cards. 

Whether you’re home for the holidays or traveling, here are some great gift options you can send to your recipient via email, text, or printout. Customize them or send them as they are!

The Gift of Brunch or Breakfast 

There’s nothing like a tasty brunch with friends on the weekend or a hearty breakfast with family members on vacation. If you know someone who enjoys omelets, mimosas, Belgian waffles with maple syrup, or heaps of bacon, the gift of Brunch at Any Restaurant will most likely bring a huge smile to their face.

The gift of Concert Tickets for Any Concert is a wonderful present that works for shows at huge arenas or tickets to see a local band.

If you have someone in your life who could use a break from work or school, a Spa Day at Any Spa is a thoughtful present that can help them relax.

Any Clothing Item at Any Store

Nothing beats a shopping spree! Since everyone has a different sense of style, it can be hard to find the right size or pattern for someone when it comes to clothing, shoes, or accessories. Take the guesswork out of the process and send the gift of Any Clothing Item at Any Store and give them the chance to shop at their favorite places!

image

The Gift of Dinner

Grabbing dinner with friends and family members is a great way to celebrate special occasions, make memories, and get to know each other better. Date night dinners at a nice restaurant are a relaxing way to spend quality time with a significant other. Girls’ night out at a cocktail bar is a fun way to unwind and catch up. Family night at a local pizza place is an excellent way to get the kids out of the house and not worry about making dinner. Pretty much everyone can enjoy the gift of Dinner at Any Restaurant

Treat Them to Dinner: Restaurant Gift Ideas 2022

Getting someone the perfect holiday gift is like getting a new recipe just right — exciting, rewarding, and challenging!

For the food lovers in your life, maybe the perfect holiday gift and new recipe are one and the same; maybe you gift loved ones with a delicious dinner or their favorite baked goods during the holiday season. 

However, if you’re not a food expert but still want to give something special to the food lovers in your life, you’re in the right place. We’ve tracked down some of the best restaurant gift ideas and compiled them into a few categories. 

Here are some of our favorite options. Enjoy!

Holiday Restaurant Gifts

Food lovers often have a list of favorite restaurants where they go for certain meals, beverages, or desserts. However, they’re usually also adventurous and enjoy trying new places. If you want to give a family member or friend the gift of a night out at a sit-down restaurant, there are a lot of good options out there. 

At Giftly, you can search based on their preferences (e.g. tacos, vegetarian, coffee) or browse national chains and local businesses. With restaurants in big cities and small town coast to coast, wherever your recipient is, you can pick out a place you think they’ll enjoy. 

Or, if you don’t want to pick out a specific place, simply send them Dinner at Any Restaurant and let them pick. Other options include Brunch at Any Restaurant, Lunch at Any Restaurant, Beer at Any Bar, or Wine at Any Restaurant, among other options.
