Ultimate Gift Guide with 100+ Meaningful Holiday Gifts
I love putting together this list every year: sharing love and supporting our Changemaker Community. With the 100+ items below, there’s something for every budget and person on your list.
Since we’re an online business, allow me to first present…
DIGITAL GIFTS — Very Eco-Friendly!
Purchase NEW Domain
Perfect for supporting a new baby, creative project, or business idea, you can purchase ownership of a domain for up to 10 years! It’s a great way to show meaningful support.
Surprise with NEW Email Address & Messages
Whether you set up a FREE Gmail or easily add on email@newdomain.com, another way of taking this to the next level is to share that address with everyone except the future owner.
Encourage people to email sweet messages or years worth of media to this email address. It makes quite the unboxing for your special someone!
Gift a Custom Website — DIY or Pro!
While you could always work to personally make someone a website, we’ve had parents, partners, and BFFs purchase websites for their significant humans.
Want to discuss purchasing a professional website as a gift? Contact us! We always proceed with caution (and an easy return policy) to make sure this is the best choice!
CREATIVE GIFTS — Long-term Value!
Gift Photos or Video
Believe it or not, professional photos, videos, or even copy don't have to cost thousands of dollars! We believe everyone needs/deserves professional media—not just artists!
Think about gifting family or professional photos, meaningful videos (or video editing), or even a professional copywriter to help with someone’s business.
