Do you draw a blank when people ask you what you want for Christmas? If “yes” is your answer, this is the article for you.

For some, creating your Christmas wish list is an easy task. 

For the rest of you who are stuck on what to ask for, or what to get for others, take out your wishlist and prepare to add some things to it.

If you’re the athletic type: It is never a bad idea to ask for a new pair of cleats, skates, or shoes. Maybe you really need them for your next season, or, you’re just looking for another part to add to your collection, either way, this is a fail-proof gift request.

If you’re the outdoors type: Ask for new gear or a trip to a national park you’ve been wanting to go to. If you want enjoy the outdoors at your own home, an ENO hammock could be the gift for you. Being able to enjoy the great Florida weather year-round could make this the gift for you.

If you’re the artsy type: Get a record player. Shop for some classic albums at the record store and you’ve got yourself a blast from the past.  If you’re into drawing, ask for a new drawing set. On top of that, you could even add in a stand, shelf, or something in your room to display your favorite creations.

If you’re the gamer type: Don’t hesitate to ask for that new console, monitor, or game you’ve been wanting. With a wide range of items to pick from in this group, most gamers will have something already on their wishlist, just add it over to your Christmas list. Just make sure whoever you ask knows EXACTLY what you are looking for.

If you’re the car enthusiast type: That new exhaust you’ve been drooling over for the past year; those new wheels that’ll complete the look of your car; a toolkit to install your new mods; these are just a few of the possibilities. Anything related to modifying your car, whether it is the parts or the tools to do, so is always a safe bet.

If you’re indoorsy: Maybe ask for some new speakers for your room. Being able to jam out to your favorite music is always a good feeling and a new speaker system could bring you just that. A small RC helicopter is another gift that will bring you some fun times in the comfort of your own home.

If you’re in need of winter necessities: Ask for a new coat, some fluffy socks, or a new pair of boots. All of these will keep you warm in our “cold” Florida winters and will add to your seasonal look in the winter.

We hope that if you ran out of ideas for your Christmas list, this article has been helpful. Merry Christmas!
