The Perfect Gifts For All Your Loved Ones According To Their Love Language
So. You’re a gift giver. You show your love through thoughtful pressies, careful wrapping, and heartfelt cards. Basically, Christmas is really your time to shine. But have you ever thought about how your loved ones like to feel loved? Maybe it’s time to speak their language.
If you’re not familiar, love languages are the five different ways people actually show or receive love. Some people live for compliments, others love little gestures, and you probably know a few that live for a good gift or two. Some people, on the other hand, just want a hug or to spend some quality time with a loved one.
Now, personally, I need all of the above, but I’ll safely assume the people on your lists are a little more reasonable.
So, in order to make the most of that money you’re throwing down on these pressies, we’re helping you find the perfect gift to match each love language, all from one easy, affordable, and irresistible spot.
The Body Shop has the perfect range for all your festive shopping, so whether you’re shopping for your partner, your best friend, or your work bestie, these thoughtful picks are the ultimate option to show just how much you care.
Words of Affirmation
If your mate lights up when you send them a wholesome text, or your mum melts when you actually write them a proper birthday card, their love language is probably Words of Affirmation.
This love language is all about what you tell the other person, AKA the little compliments and small moments of encouragement that help them feel completely seen, heard, and adored.
Look, it may be slightly needy (that’s a self-attack here), but you love them anyway, so who’s complaining?
For this person, you want something that says “you deserve a little self-love.” An essentials set, like this Strawberry Essentials Gift Set from The Body Shop, tells your loved one that you care for them wholly and completely. Add a very complimentary handwritten note, and you’ve officially won Christmas in their eyes.
Acts of Service
For those whose love language is Acts of Service, bringing in their washing, picking them up from the airport, or grabbing them a coffee when they’re tired can be just as important as any present. Now, this is all well and good but what if you’re a gift giver who shows their love best when it’s bought, wrapped, and handed over? Or you’re lazy and can barely take care of yourself let alone someone else (equally relevant, if you ask me)?
For this person, get them something to make their life a little easier, like the Almond Milk Hand & Lip Duo. They’ll appreciate that you’ve literally done the heavy lifting in the self-care department, and it’ll feel like a little act of service every time they use it.
Quality Time
It’s not about the present, it’s about being in the present! If their love language is quality time, they want to spend time with you, so it’s best to do just that. Turn the gift into a whole activity.
Grab The Body Shop’s Spa of the World Blissful Trio, light a candle, and set up a mini at-home spa night. You two can nourish your skin while you nourish your friendship, relationship, or othership at the same time.
Plus, this is basically a gift you can use as much as your loved one. Now that’s versatile.
Receiving Gifts
The easiest to buy for are, of course, anyone whose love language is receiving gifts. This lot loves a pressie (or 10), but more than that — they love to be thought of. It’s not about the money spent or how nice the wrapping is, it’s how well you know them and how much effort you put in.
A little hack for anyone in your life who loves a good gift: Get them a gift set. It’s multiple presents in one and, if you get something like the Almond Milk Collection Gift Set or the Mango Collection Gift Set, each part is going to feel luxurious, thoughtful, and full of love. Take it from personal experience.
Physical Touch
Whether it’s a hug, a hand hold, or a high-five, these loved up peeps are all about physical touch. But how do you buy that in a store? I thought you’d never ask!
For the tactile types, you want a little something that’ll create that physical connection without you losing your entire day holding hands or giving a foot rub. Grab a Hand Care Trio, which will make sure that every touch is extra soft and silky smooth. You can start by using it together but then cut and run, leaving them with all the self-care goodness. It’s basically a hug in skincare form — what more could they want?
When it comes to Christmas, though we talk about dinners and decorations, everyone knows that love really is at the heart of any festive season.
But not all of us can say it out loud or show love through actions. For many, the best way to show they care is through a gift. And with these gifts, you can be confident that whoever you give them to will know exactly how you feel. And, at the end of the day, isn’t that what it’s all about?
Oh, and if my boyfriend is reading this — I need every gift on this list, please and thank you.
