Top 5 Laundry Gift Ideas For Christmas!

T’is the season to be merry and spread the festive cheer! With 10 days away from Christmas, you still have time to do Christmas shopping. For most of us, laundry gifts aren’t what you expect when you open your Christmas gifts but if you’re thinking of making laundry chores easier for someone, here are our top 5 laundry gift ideas for Christmas!

1. Detergent Cup Holder

Doing laundry work can be tedious and sometimes clumsy – especially when the laundry detergent accidentally spills onto the floor as you pour it from the bottle.

This Christmas, to save your friends from laundry fears, get them a detergent cup holder that is convenient, useful and will prevent any detergent spillage! It is also easy to assemble!

2. Dryer Balls

It’s hard not to include dryer balls in our Christmas list of laundry gift ideas! They are becoming popular in households due to their benefits and ability to prevent clothes from clumping together inside the tumble dryer.

3. Handheld Steamer

If you want a Christmas gift that tells the recipient ‘I appreciate you and want to make your chores easier’ then you can’t go wrong with the handheld steamer! It doesn’t take up much space and can be easily packed when travelling. It is also a great alternative to ironing.

We know ironing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, especially when you need to clean the ironing board from time to time, so getting your friends and family a handheld steamer is thoughtful!

4. Dryer Sheets

Much like wool dryer balls, dryer sheets are becoming increasingly popular in households. Nobody likes it when clothes get glued together in the dryer but with dryer sheets, clothes will be kept apart and will reduce static electricity!

Dryer sheets are also great for friends that love fragrances!

What’s more, if you have friends that love cleaning chores, dryer sheets can also be useful for cleaning and scrubbing due to the fragrance chemicals in them!

5. Laundry Signs

Buying a laundry sign is a great light-hearted gift! If you have an organised friend who likes to put signs and labels on items, then we suggest you buy a laundry sign that pokes fun at their habits! It’s witty, fun and will no doubt make them remember you every time they come across the sign on laundry day!

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Don’t have a gift yet for Father’s day? Don’t worry! Here are some last minute gift ideas you could get for your dad this Father’s day.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

  • Gadgets & Tech

Most dads love cool tech and gadgets. Think about the kind of things your dad is in to or what he’s been hinting that he needs.

If your dad is in to music, get him a speaker or wireless earphones. If he’s active and loves working out, get him a Fitbit. Maybe he would love a smart home product like an Amazon echo. 

  • Car accessories

For the dads who take great pride in their car, why not get your dad some car accessories or gadgets. Purchase a car vacuum so your dad can always keep his car clean or maybe get him a magnetic dashboard phone holder as an upgrade to the suction cup ones. If you think you’re dad could use some car security, get him a dashboard cam.

  • Toolbox

Every dad needs a toolbox/ tool set. If you feel like your dad needs to upgrade his tool selection, get him a toolbox that has all the handyman tools included.

You can also give him a tool set that doesn’t involve handyman tools, like a bbq tool set. If you want to make it more personalised, you can purchase an empty toolbox and put all your dads’ favourite things in there, like his favourite drinks, an educational book, a DVD a travel mug etc.

  • A Day out

Treat your dad to a meal in a fancy restaurant. A steak house or seafood place perhaps? Wherever you decide to eat, I’m sure there will be many father’s day deals where your dad can eat for less or even for free!

  • A Gift Card

The most simple gift choice you can give is a gift card. If you still can’t decide what to get your dad, get him a gift card to a shop that he will love. Get him an Amazon gift card or send a gift card from voucher express so he can choose which retailer to spend it on. You can even send him a laundryheap gift card!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

You don’t always have to spend a large amount of money to show appreciation because it’s always the thought that counts! If you want to give more than your usual flowers, chocolates and a card, check out these gift ideas.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

  • Personalised Gift Basket

If you want to give your mother a selection of items that she’ll love, what better way to do so than with a hamper filled with some of her favourite things! This idea is easy and can also be done on a budget, depending on what type of goodies you’ll be filling it with.

This hamper can literally be filled with all sorts of little things that your mother likes, whether that be candles, bath bombs, sweets, face masks or accessories. You can purchase a hamper basket for cheap at any local store and doesn’t need to be expensive because you can even decorate the basket if you wish.

  • Photo Book

Gather old photos of you and your mother and create a simple photo album or even a scrap book. If you’re a 90’s baby, chances are the photos you have when you were a kid are from film, but you can always get these scanned and digitally printed. Freeprints is an app that will print out 45 free photos for you per month and you’ll only have to pay for the delivery (free delivery for the first month).

If you’d rather have a more professional approach to making to your photo book, photobox will create it for you. Just choose the design that you want- this includes everything from the layout of the pages to the colour, and simply upload your photos where you want them to be placed.

  • Gift Sets

There are all kinds of gift sets available, from wine sets to bath and beauty sets. Most of these come at an affordable price, so if you want to give your mother a bit of luxury, you can do so without splashing out a ton of money. Just make sure you get her something she will actually use.

  • A Day Out

Why not take your mother out and treat her for the day? Maybe take her to her favourite restaurant or café, an afternoon tea, a day with her at the spa, get her nails done, go to the theatre or just do any thing that she will enjoy doing. As long as your paying for it all. 

  • Do The House Chores

Now, if you still live with your parents, this is something that should be done daily anyway. However, to make it extra special, have your mother relax for the entire day. Do all that she would normally do, like the cleaning, cooking, the laundry etc and take care of everything that needs to be done around the house. I’m sure you mother will appreciate you cooking her favourite meals and baking her favourite cake. You can also purchase a laundryheap gift card for your mother so she can have a few laundry-free days.
