26 Genius Minimalist Christmas Gifts
Minimalists love decorating with plants because they bring life and a pop of color into a clean space.
Gifting a beautifully potted houseplant, or even a bouquet of wildflowers, is always appreciated by people who keep simple spaces.
Candles
Candles provide a bit of calmness to a space, and make great gifts for minimalists.
I especially love meaningful candles like the Homesick Candle line, which smell like places, and unique scents, like Sherlock’s Study, by bookish candle line, Frostbeard Studio.
Christmas Ornaments
Ornaments make the perfect minimalist Christmas gifts because they’re small, festive, and can be very meaningful.
I absolutely love decorating my tree yearly and reminiscing when we hang our ornaments.
Minimalist Gifts for Him
Of course most, if not all, of the minimalist Christmas gifts above will suit men. But guys are notoriously hard to shop for so I wanted to highlight a few extra minimalist gift ideas for that impossible to shop for guy in your life.
Ridge Wallet
The sleek Ridge Wallet is one of the most popular and best selling minimalist Christmas gifts among men.
Though my own husband isn’t exactly a self proclaimed minimalist to the extent that I am, he does prefer using a slim, minimal wallet. The Ridge Wallet specifically has been on his radar for quite some time.
It’s durable, made with military grade materials, and uses RFID blocking technology. The Ridge Wallet can hold 1-12 cards and has a lifetime guarantee.
Man Crates
Perfect for the guy’s guy, Man Crates are unique, masculine, and purposeful. From sausage making kits to DIY growlers and hot sauce, Man Crates truly fill a void when it comes to shopping for guys.
They’re my favorite place to shop for original and minimalist Christmas gifts for my husband and dad. And I say that with full disclosure that Man Crates does NOT even offer an affiliate program. I just love em!
You can even add “diabolical duct tape” wrapping to make the opening of the gift even more ferocious!
Universal YUMS
My mom always told me that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach…
Universal Yums create and send out boxes filled with snacks from different countries on a monthly basis. You can gift 6, 12, or 20+ snacks with different subscription levels.
Golf
Lastly, you cannot go wrong with a round of golf. What guy doesn’t love an afternoon out playing 18 holes?
We joke in my house that my husband, dad, and brother in law simply continue to take one another out for a round for every special occasion. They never seem disappointed, though, and are always thrilled to experience a new course or score better on one they’ve played before.
Experiences for Kids
As with all age groups, our favorite minimalist Christmas gifts are actual experiences.
Children (and parents) love tickets or memberships to zoos, aquariums, splash pads, and children’s museums.
Montessori Toys
For very young children, even minimalists, Christmas gifts can and should include toys and actual wrapped gifts. There’s just something exciting about unwrapping something new to play with. Children do love the instant gratification.
