5 Thoughtful Gift Ideas That Are Perfect for Quarantine Life

Published

on

The pandemic has created a stand-still in our society. Multiple businesses, ranging from bike shops, restaurants, and movie theaters, had to close their doors due to the rapid spread of COVID-19.

In the middle of March, the majority of the world announced their nation’s quarantine, where citizens had to remain at home as much as possible.

Although the quarantine has been lifted and businesses have been attempting to resume their routine, the culture of the pandemic is still alive and well.

People have a sense of fear and caution in regards to COVID-19 that does not seem to be going anywhere soon. There are plenty of individuals that still refuse to leave their homes even though the quarantine is not technically enforced.

Despite this worldwide health crisis, people took it upon themselves to make use of their quarantine in a creative way. From working out to baking every possible dessert, this pandemic has got our creative juices flowing to pass the time.

These new-founded hobbies at times need certain objects or tools, and, in the spirit of trying to uplift our spirits, we can give our friends, neighbors, and family something special to make their quarantine a bit easier.

Here are some gift ideas that are ideal for the special someone in your life that is living the full quarantine life:

  • Water Bottle

Regardless of a pandemic, a reusable and eco-friendly water bottle is never a poor gift.

But since we are battling against COVID-19, staying healthy and hydrated does not hurt

Even during the quarantine, it is recommended to get as much fresh air as possible,

which prompted people to take up healthier lifestyles through exercise.

Hiking has become popular, not to mention socially distant hiking with friends, due to the pandemic. Needless to say, a water bottle is a great addition to this form of exercise,

especially one that promotes saving the environment.

The Kool8 water bottle, for example, is great, as seen with its eco-friendly, BPA-free, sleek, and double-walled insulated qualities. Moreover, the water bottle can keep the drinks cool for up to 24 hours. You can find it in this Cool Things Chicago gift guide, a water bottle that also has a tea infuser in case your friend, spouse, neighbor, or family member likes to end yet another quarantine day with a nice cup of tea.

  • Puzzle

Puzzles have also become a popular purchase amongst families staying in their homes during the pandemic. Some even want the challenge, as certain puzzles can be quite difficult to construct.

It is a known fact that puzzles sharpen cognitive function and bonding, which makes this

an extremely healthy activity to do during the quarantine.

Color-gradient puzzles are a great gift for someone who wants a different kind of puzzle that they could show off. Once the puzzle is done, it is perfect as wall art due to its calming tone.

The quarantine will fly by much faster with a new puzzle to build, especially for a person in your life that responds to these kinds of activities.

  • Bottle of Wine

Some would argue that getting through the quarantine and the fear surrounding the pandemic could be handled a bit better with a nice bottle of wine. In a way, wine has become an “essential” product on the grocery list.

There are plenty of fantastic wines to choose as your next gift for someone that you

could share in a socially distant and healthy manner.

For example, the Lambrusco is a semi-sweet red wine perfect for a lunch with your family. The Nerello Mascalese has beautiful aromas of black current and spice, as well as smoky and berry flavors.

A beautiful bottle of wine can go a long way, especially during a quarantine that may negatively affect our spirits. So we might as well turn to other spirits for some uplifting.

  • Coloring Book

Although supposedly an exclusive gift for children, coloring books can be designed for adults as well. Coloring books, in general, are effective stress relievers, which is a perfect gift during these pandemic times.

You don’t have to be a child to enjoy a coloring book, and this gift could become a new activity for the person that needs to undertake for productivity’s sake.

From themed pictures, such as Disney princess or Marvel superheroes, to simple animals, a coloring book may seem to be a silly gift, but it does alleviate stress and will be colored in record time.

  • Bubble Bath Products

What could be more relaxing than popping a few candles, dimming the lights, and enjoying a hot bubble bath? Even during a highly spreadable virus such as COVID-19 a

bubble bath can do wonders for us when enduring stress or discomfort.

Not only does a bubble bath is a great remedy to get some relaxation, but it can also

become a nice event to look forward to when quarantining at home.

Bath bombs, coconut milk bath soaks, and other bath accessories are a great gift for

someone who could benefit from some relaxation during this pandemic.

You could also match some of these bubble bath products with other accessories, such

as towels, candles, and champagne, in a large gift basket.

The quarantine life that we are all experiencing should not be filled with complete and unstoppable anxiety. A simple bubble bath could do wonders nowadays, so make sure

to give it to someone who needs it.

Everybody deserves to somehow occupy their minds from the whirlwind occurring all across the globe. From essential workers to children staying at home, plenty of activities could be done to get our minds off of the effects of the virus.

Not only is it amazing to find new productive activities, but gifting some of these products also promotes camaraderie and togetherness during these troubling times.

Gifts, such as those listed above, are a great way to show your friends, neighbors, family, and others your support, sympathy, and openness in a time when these qualities are needed most.

We wish you good health and strength during these unprecedented times.
