You said: This is given to adults, children and Secret Santa

Oh, what should we give again this year? We already have everything. And actually a little more. But there must be something beautifully wrapped under the Christmas tree.

Since we also torture ourselves every year, we asked Watson users: what are the best Christmas presents? And: You have not disappointed us.

When it comes to gifts for adults, the spirit of the times is clearly visible – in the true sense of the word: because it is less about material gifts. By far the most recommended gift is time together. Whether as an experience, for dinner, for a game night or just for a walk. We have summarized the suggestions here. If it was not clear that the donor and recipient undertook the activity together, we have stated this separately (e.g. concert ticket, beer tasting, hotel voucher, etc.).

According to our users, they should not be vouchers. It is best to come up with a concrete suggestion or (if necessary) buy tickets in advance. Otherwise it will be forgotten again.

Classics such as alcohol, wellness, food and candles are also still very popular. We leave it up to your interpretation as to how serious users were about Lego and socks as the best gifts. But what was really good was the more concrete suggestion of the Lego orchid in 3D.

Spending time together and gaining experiences is also a top priority for children. Because it turns out to be a widespread ‘problem’: children’s rooms are full of toys, cuddly toys, etc. even before the Christmas gift round.

However, they are still surpassed by Lego and books. Board games, the Toniebox and Playmobil are also very popular.

Secret Santa meetings remain a tradition in families and workplaces. The rules in short: Each participant is randomly assigned someone to whom he can give a gift. Usually anonymous (often eventually resolved), usually not too expensive. For our user research, we set the maximum value at approximately 20 francs.

The absolute hottest tip here is something involving tea. Whether it is a selection of teas, homemade tea blends, a tea set or a cup (which we have also listed separately). If you’re doing a Secret Santa this year, chances are you’ll get something tea-like.

Chocolate, bath products, books and home-baked cookies are also very popular. We’ll leave it to you to decide how seriously Legos and socks were meant here. Although: the socks with the gift giver’s face might be worth considering.
