Christmas is approaching, and for many, it brings both joy and a bit of a headache: what gifts should I choose? Picking Christmas presents can feel challenging, whether it’s for family, friends, employees, or clients. Luckily, there are some clear trends that can make the decision easier – and maybe even a bit more fun.
Popular Gifts in Norway
In recent years, studies show that Norwegians value gifts with meaning and thoughtfulness more than expensive, impersonal items:
- Children: Toys, games, and specific wishes from their wish list.
- Adults: Experiences, gift cards, practical items for home and hobbies, or small luxury items.
- Elderly: Time, thoughtfulness, and practical gifts. Many also appreciate homemade or locally sourced delicacies.
- Corporate Gifts: Food gifts, experiences, gift baskets, or products with a sustainable and local touch.
In short: people value experiences, local connection, and quality over large and expensive gifts.
The Dilemma of Choice
Imagine this scenario: you need to buy Christmas gifts for 20 employees. Some want experiences, others want something edible, and some want practical items for the home. What do you choose? Many end up with gift baskets or food gifts because they appeal to most people – they are pleasant, useful, and adaptable to both budget and taste.
