It's a season of love where we need to show love to one another so my best present ideas is to give those people who are in need especially those who can't afford things for themselves this period. Sharing of food and drinks will be my best present because as humans we can't do without eating so it will be important to put smile on people's faces.
Food will definitely be a certain thing someone would get during the season
It's very important for everyone so gifting this will definitely put smile on people's faces.
Celebrating the festive season with food and drinks is important and I believe people would appreciate this more.
Food and drinks are quite important for everyone, it would make a perfect gift.
Food is life so sharing food wouldn’t be a bad idea for the season greetings
This is a great idea bro. Remembering those who don't have. Keep it up.
The basic necessities of life is food 🥘,before clothing and shelter. Thanks for this reminder which am on the same idea with you. Blessings and compliments of the season 🎄🎅.
My best Christmas present ideas depends on who I want to surprise so what I do before surprising them is to know what they like before showcasing the present. My mum most especially loves clothes and jewelries which I know that if I gift her any of those she would appreciate and feel happy. My siblings as well also have what they love and knowing each of everyone choices is my best ideas in surprising them with what they love and want.
That is true, the person you want to give will determine the gift for real.
Absolutely that the best ideas I got to surprise them with what they love.
That's a smart one bro, knowing people's need will definitely help to make the right decision about what gift to give them.
It really helps a lot and no matter how little it is if it is their preferred choice they would appreciate.
Exactly.
That's a very nice idea which will really help to gift those you love.
That is just it, the person would determine the gift
They would appreciate it since it is what they love.
WOW 😲! I love surprises. Thanks 👍 for sharing
This is so thoughtful of you @micheal87. Mothers love clothing and jewelries especially from their children. Knowing what the receiver will like really helps.
As it is a season of greetings that people share gift and love the best Christmas gift I have ever gotten was a headphones 🎧.
I am not that lucky with people giving me gift but my fiance always made sure that during the season he put a smile on my face with a gift.
My Christmas gift idea would be sharing food for people because it is not everyone that would be able to cook food in their house because it is not everyone that can afford it so if we can share food for people around that would definitely be a good idea of Christmas gift for me.
Having someone that puts smile on our faces are always very much appreciated because it is hard sometimes to have such people around.
Food or food items is a good to thing to share because it will go a long way for many people who don't have something to eat.
My family share cooked food on Christmas withing the neighborhood, it's not something much though but we enjoy doing it.
It's a season of celebration and showing love.
Sharing foods to those that can't afford the enjoyment is a great gift.
Clothing someone or people that wears worn out clothes is another great gift.
Making out time to spend with your love ones is an amazing gift.
That is the best gift for the Christmas because we all are celebrating so giving them food to eat that day will definitely put a smile on their face
That's true.
Thank you very much dear 😊
I completely agree with you. I often watch videos on YouTube of people giving food and presents during Christmas, and I always tell myself that if I were as rich as them, I would do the same thing.
That's true.
It gives people joy and warmth in their hearts.
It's the act of kindness that matters. If everybody understands that, the world will be in peace and harmony. ❤️
❤️🥰🤗
Giving present isn't just something I am doing for the first time and one thing I ensure is to give people what they really need, something that would fill in the space that the person is struggling to cover. It doesn't have to be enormous things bevause people are struggling with the smallest of things we can ever imagine.
Let's for instance say that there is someone who doesn't have what to eat, giving the person a bottle of wine wouldn't meet the person's need.
I try to know people's need before giving out presents, that way I can leave a mark on their lives and also make them realise that they aren't alone.
For my family, I know what they need so that's not an issue and even if I can't get what they really needed, they will still love any present I give to them.
Happy Sunday to everyone.
Food is the best gift I think everyone should share because it is not everyone that can afford to cook during that time
Food items took a huge hit on inflation and people find it difficult to cope. I expect things to escalate more this season so it's best to help people with what we have.
If we can give people what they really need, it will make them very happy.
Seeing people happy is the goal, you get my point.
If everyone can make this a priority, Christmas will be perfect.
Perfect would be an understatement because no one will be left out of the celebration. Thanks for your very thoughtful comment.
Yes. This is why we should first consider their status to know what to give. Greetings
Wow..I like how thoughtful you are based of giving presents. Discovering what people need is the best way to give..with that, you are leaving a better impact in their lives
Happy new week @george-dee . Many people don't have what to eat. I think you are right. We should first consider what is necessary to give out as Christmas 🎄 gifts. We should give what we know the receiver will appreciate.
My best Christmas present ideas will be to show love to those who cannot afford to cater for themselves. The needy. So by given them gift wl go a long way to show love
The needy should be a priority, a lot of people lack the smallest of things and it would be awesome for us to fill that space for them.
Day 3 Question:
For me, the best Christmas idea is to gather with family. You can create any type of game to play together.
If you have extra money, consider donating food to those in need, especially those who are celebrating on the streets without family.
If I were rich, I would give them more money as a gift in addition to the food that has been distributed.
Wow I love your idea, maybe I should add it to mine as well
My best Christmas present idea is to buy a new car for my Dad..
Speaking about my Christmas gift ideas it depends on who I want to give the gifts to. But I would rather share food for people around me because I believe that we all are not the same.
Some can’t afford 3square meal so why giving such person something else if not food so that they would have something to celebrate with?
Food is my best food idea for the season greetings.
Putting smiles on others people's faces is one important way of showing love and care which I will also love to do by gifting present to them but then it can't be everyone that I love and care for that I can give present so what I do is to organize a get together where we can hangout to have a good time and enjoy the festive season.
Yeah because it is a season of love so we should put a smile on people’s face.
Putting smile on people faces is the purpose of giving gift during the festive season and to make them really smile, I try to give something that will be valuable to whoever I want to give to.
My family and a few people is what I have the power to gift now but as time goes, I will be able to expand my giving.
If want do Anxiety and noise for Christmas too, .... so then I fill make A pack of four-tube firework box that are 50mm charges , this 50 mm is enough size to create a wow feeling. 😂😜😜
I will give my son HIVE ALIVE and Ecency Points. Let him understand what the Hive ecosystem is :)
Dear Saint Nick:
I want early 90's grocery prices when Mac & Cheese was $0.10/each, ho!
HO!
Ho!
Oh yeah. Ecency with a new amazing contest, wow.
Talking about some good Christmas present ideas, I have never experienced this before but let me share some of my ideas.
If you are going to give a present to your parents just spend some good moments with them. I bet there is nothing more special than this one. They will enjoy your company because your parents have everything in life when you are grown up and the only thing they want is some time from your busy life.
If you are planning something for your wife (I don't have one yet but still I can tell) give her a beautiful piece of jewellery. It can be a necklace or a ring but I would have preferred a necklace.
If you are planning something for your friend then go for a board game. And open it on the day of Christmas, enjoy the game with your friend and he will never forget those moments.
The main point was to make you people understand that present ideas can never be same. It depends on the situation and the person you are going to present. I have told about some but still there are many like your siblings, your children, your grandparents and many more relatives. It is up to you that how good you are, I have wrote about my mindset
When I came up with ideas for Christmas presents, I noticed two things. How much money will you spend? What age will you give? Children, youth, adults, men, women, etc. are also considered. Among the things that can be given to men and women of all ages, I think a beautiful pillow should be given as a Christmas present. A pillow is important for a good night's sleep. Getting up without a good night's sleep can be harmful to your health, right? You should give a Christmas pillow that is beautiful and cute that can help people of all ages sleep well and help their health.
I think presents should be tailored to the person, and generic gift idea lists are only good for people you don't know well but feel obligated to buy a gift for, and honestly I think that's often a bad idea! We spend so much money and resources on gifts for people we barely know that they probably don't want. If you want to get gifts for coworkers you don't know well or something, I think it's better to make them some treats or something perhaps. :)
That's a good question. This year we haven't done a Christmas raffle at work yet. I didn't know who to buy a gift for, so I couldn't think of which gift to buy. We didn't do a raffle at home either, but I'm thinking of buying a gift for my mom this year. My mom likes to spend time in the kitchen. I think I can buy an electronic gadget. I think I will buy an electronic food processor or a robot vacuum cleaner that she can use everywhere in the house. Thank you so much🎄
The best christmas presents are experiences rather than items in my opinion, that's why my best christmas present idea is to get my family a trip to our neighbouring countrys' zoo.
It allows us to spend time together and we will have an awesome experience.
Nice one @tsnaks. Am also on the same page with you. Holidays means spending some quality time with family, especially memorable ones. Greetings.
I want to tell you about the most fun present I ever got. My dad used to love to make presents special when I and my 2 sisters were kids. Once he gave a present to my youngest sister, which contained a note saying it was in my package. I unpacked mine and got a not saying it was in my elder sister's present. She unpacked and received the key to his dark room. That's were he had hidden our presents. They were ice scates, and a bag to keep them in. We not only got great presents, but lots of laughs also.
My own idea for a Christmas present is creating a photo album or a scrapbook that is filled with cherished memories together, it's a heartfelt gift that captures the beautiful moment and it shows how much someone means to you.
My best Christmas gift would be to collaborate with the children (toys) that day since it is difficult for many parents to give them that little joy. Seeing those happy faces is something that is truly priceless.
For me the best christmass present right now is i am still having family that love me and my family still healthy. And the best thing is i can make goal on my milestone in investing in Hive Network, i am very blessed.
Christmas is a superb time to present and make your loved ones satisfied!
I actually have some fantastic present thoughts for this excursion season.
How about a luxurious makeup set for that beauty-loving pal?
Or a cookbook for the passionate foodie.
I can also present reports, like a wonder experience to a dream vacation spot.
And I bear in mind customised gifts, like an engraved piece of jewelry or a framed own family photo.
The options are limitless to make this Christmas a sincerely special second!

My idea for a Christmas gift is always a sharing.
It is very nice to receive a gift, but if you share a good moment, this will be engraved forever in the memory, that's why it seems to me the best gift, it will always be with you wherever you are.
We can have a very personal detail, from giving a charm or a toy to our children, but undoubtedly the best of all is to share with them at this time, that's my best gift definitely.
Today marks the first day in the calendar and the beginning of the advent season and at the same time the preparation for the Christmas festive period.
This is a a time of celebration and gifting period, so in that notice, my best Christmas present ideas will be in the donation dimension:
First: I will Go for a personalized gift item such as jewelry, a picture frame, or a bag for the person to always remember this time.
Secondly, I would love to gift items on technological gadgets like wireless wifi, laptops, Bluetooth, and headphones for proper and comfortable ecency hiving
Good day everyone my first time partaking
In challenge in this platform,
My best Christmas idea present will be on charity gifting and donation on items and food since this period brings to us celebration as we start advent today in the liturgical calendar
I can say there is no gift to celebrate Christmas in particular, any gift can be shared in as much as we are in the season of love, but my opinion is that sharing foodstuff among the less privileged will go a long way.
There is no amount of money we can share, or give someone that already has more than enough, all we need to do is to extend the hand of love to one another.
The best gift during the Christmas season is love, show love to one another with any time you have particularly to those who need it more than we do, to people who can not afford three square meals, to people who are looking up to us, and finally to the orphans.
Good morning, my best Christmas gift is not material, it is through a smile or support in difficult moments, it may seem little but all I can give.
Hello! For me, the best gift will be the attention of relatives. I am mostly given a mug with a Christmas pattern, tea or coffee and warm Christmas socks. This year I will receive warm house slippers from my mother and this is the best gift this year. My mother is far from me, but she always makes sure that I am warm and happy. I love my mother very much and thank her for everything she does for me.
The idea of a Christmas gift 🎄🎄 is subjective since each of us has different ideas and what is important to some people is not so important to others. Having already explained a little about the context, the tranquility of being at home with the family as well as being able to offer a good dinner, with toys for the children.
My best Christmas present ideas depends on the person I am gifting. To some people food is their most need items, to some, they prefer cosmetics, to some , it could be money for them to buy whatever they want.
There are so many options and ideas for great Christmas presents. But I'll say the present you get depends on who you are shopping for.
For example you can get a blanket or cozy slippers for your family or loved ones that just like relaxing at home.
A personal gift like maybe a photo album or maybe a nice jewelry and just add a little by doing their initials on it.
They are people that like fun and anything that could make them happy or the ones that like trying new things and have fun experiences, getting them tickets to attend a concert or just paying the fee to participate in a baking or cooking class.
A person who loves to cook or try new recipes can get a new set of kitchen utensils that can help them with their recipes.
People who love to take care of their skin and just relax their body can get a free spa day or a gift basket of self-care items or maybe a book for the readers.
The best gift is one that is personal and meaningful. Something a person can cherish and make and keep special moments.
This are lovely gift one can get as a Christmas present
Yes of course
They are
Get one for your loved one today
Alright I will
I am going to express the gifts I would like to be given:
A drone with a bed to make my content spectacular.
An Ecency Ultramarine Cologne by Givenchy
A good brand Smartwatch
A case of blue-label whiskey
A good quality Tablet for my Photoshop and Illustrator designs
And grossly oversized Smart TV to watch my favorite movies and videos made with my drone.
The best Christmas present idea I ever had was to take my mother and father on a trip of their choosing! They raised me and supported me all of these years, now it’s time to thank them and give back!
My best Christmas present or rather, presents are those things that I could not afford for myself.
Yeah, I really need a good quality laptop, at least core i7 with over 2.6 GHz processor.
That's among the things that have prevented me from getting jobs online.
Secondly, I really need an electric heater in my kitchen. The cost of using cooking gas in Nigeria is very alarming and the quality of gas is not as it used to be.
I really need that item and lastly,
I need a ticket to Silverbird cinema to watch any movie that they can view on Christmas day.
Talking about Christmas gifts, I think it should be something personal and thoughtful.. And its very hard to choose few from every idea we wish. For me, i have never gotten Christmas gift before. But i believe a presented gift should be given in other to create memories. my idea is a framed photo to create memories. not everyone are always lucky to snap photos and frame then. Another idea is gifting then clothes, shoes or any valuable lasting items for the sake of memories. And of course food, very important. it isn't necessary to cook, you can just decide to take the person to any eatery and buy food and drinks of their choice. this are my little ideas.
My Best Christmas Present 🎁
For me i really am the type that prioritize material things to love, I'd prefer that the love we share should grow stronger during festive season.
Presents aee not just material things, i think its more than materiality, you could write a latter that can inspire someone on Christmas day or a latter that would nake someone feel loved 😍, its sometimes more than material things.
I would prefer gift s that can give lasting and great memories, gifts that would make someone feel important.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANKS EVERYONE, FEEL THE LOVE
DAY 3. MY BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT IDEA.
Everyone has a very special way of spending Christmas. Some gives presents of gift and some prefer just saying sweet words to celebrate with others.
For me, my best idea of Christmas present is showering my with special gift. I love gift especially when it is a surprise. Christmas is a special thing that people should celebrate the best way. Because I love gift it also helps me to give out different gift to people who will appreciate them
Happy Christmas 🎄 to everyone in the ecency community.

What are your best Christmas present ideas??
Well as for me what I would consider as my best Christmas present ideas for this particular year is for someone to sponsor my education. Kind of weird yea
My greatest desire is for me to further my education but since there's no more I would have to work for some years before going back to school.
So the best Christmas present ideas I would ever think of is someone wanting to sponsor my education so I wouldn't have to stay back at home long enough and loose interest in education 😁😁
As I told you in yesterday's commentary I like to prepare little boxes with varied content that I do mostly with relatives but this year my idea is to give something to some girls I know who have few resources, it is not much what I will give them but it is something to smile at them and help the baby Jesus. 😉😇🥰
My best Christmas present ideas will be experience gifts, Instead of a physical item, I could gift an experience, like concert tickets, a spa day, or a cooking class. This allows the recipient to create long lasting memories.
Saludos es primera vez que me presento en esta comunidad, me gustó mucho esta forma de participar, e aquí mi opinión, lo primero que haría cuando voy a obsequiar un regalo, es saber que es lo que la persona necesita y le gusta, buscar algún cómplice y de acuerdo a lo que haya investigado 😁, sorprenderla (o), casi siempre dependiendo la persona sea niño, (juguetes); si es mujer (artículos de belleza o prendas) en caso de ser caballero (ropa o perfumes). También hay personas que con el simple gesto de cariño con que se lo obsequias se conforman, no les importa que tan pequeño sea. Por lo menos a mí me encantan los chocolates, salgo barato jajaja, si me lo regalan yo feliz.
Ohh it's a hard question it depends to whom I want to present this gift. For parents it can be tickets to theater. For sister earrings. Or maybe neck ring. And of course visit of Santa to kids!
Presents 🎁 and gifts during the Christmas 🎄 season varies. When we are celebrating, we come across so many wonderful presents , but we first have to decide what will I give to a friend, my husband, my wife or maybe our parents. First considering the recipient will determine the kind of gift 💝
To my friends this Christmas, I will bake sone delicious unique cakes 🍰 I will give to each and everyone of them and their family.
To my family I will want us to take a trip out of the city. Go to some quite resorts where we can enjoy some quality time that will be memorable. My daughter loves traveling 🧳, so am hoping this comes through.
And to the less privileged, I will want to make out time to visit some homes and make some donations no matter how little it will be
Thank you #ecency for giving us this opportunity of expression .
A FAMILY REUNION
The Christmas present I hope to give is to buy tickets for my grandparents to come and visit us. It is a surprise I have in mind for my grandmother (my mother's mother), they have not seen each other for a long time and that would be my Christmas present for my family.
It is my immaterial gift for my mom and for the family in general.
💕💕🙏
Best Christmas present ideas? Well it's always to gift someone with something useful. It should always be something they can use for a long time or at least something they would enjoy using.
Let's be practical when giving gifts. Although sometimes there are gifts that we don't think are useful at all but turns out it is, after a few yrs or so. Haha. This one happened to me a decade or so ago. Maybe I will write a post about it. Anyway that's all.
Presents are always welcome and expected by everybody. People have diverse concepts of what the best present is. In my opinion being healthy, being with my family and having a home are the best presents for Christmas. You asked me for three presents ideas; from my point of view one may be a special card with holiday decorations done by oneself with beautiful hopeful messages, photos or draws. Another special idea may be chocolates (many people love chocolate) sweets, cakes or cookies. The third one may be that thing that the person you should give the present wants the most.
Sometimes it's difficult to know what the best present is for someone special. Something that really be motive of happiness, love and smiles. For giving the best present it's necessary knowing well how that person is, and taking into account this, you will know what to give.
My best Christmas present ideas is a Charcoal painting of a portrait. This may sound classic but I believe it is less appreciated now in the modern times.
