SimplePrints Winter Holiday Gift Guide for 2024/2025
Our gift guide is packed with unique and thoughtful ideas to make your celebrations memorable. Let’s dive into holiday-specific gifts that will bring smiles and joy to your loved ones all season long!
November 28: US Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a favorite fall holiday for people all over the US. We love cozying up by the fire, sharing quotes for the fall season, and jumping in the leaves. If you are attending a US Thanksgiving holiday celebration, it is a nice gesture to bring a gift. If you aren’t signed up to bake a pumpkin pie or take on the turkey, consider creating a gift for the holiday, such as a custom canvas print of the whole family.
Your family might also enjoy giving back this Thanksgiving by volunteering at a food drive, participating in a winter coat drive, or even just spending time helping your family, friends, and neighbors.
Tip: Canvas prints are matte and won’t reflect glare, so they are the perfect piece to hang in a family room for everyone to enjoy from every angle.
December 01: First Day of Advent
Get into the DIY spirit and consider creating your own advent calendars with your family for the first day of Advent! Give a gift to all of the children in your family, it could be fun to create a set of mini photo books. Give each child a 3.5”x3.5” photo book with a photo page for each day of Advent. You can include treasure hunts, memorable moments, and special captions, such as a prayer for the first day of Advent, that show just how much you care.
Tip: You can order multiple sets of 3 mini books, if you are buying for more than 3 people at a time. This makes our SimplePrints mini photo books are great options for church, school, and work groups.

Whether you prepare for the big holiday by crafting your own DIY decorations for Hanukkah, sharing a prayer for the first night of Hanukkah, or remembering the history of the holiday and retelling the story, it is a special opportunity to spend time with your loved ones. We love the idea of making a custom photo book online for your family members, complete with photos of good times, accomplishments, and cherished memories.
Tip: Layflat photo books offer gutter-less viewing from one page to the next, making them the perfect book for coffee tables and fantastic holiday gift ideas for grandparents. If you plan to display your photo book during your Hanukkah celebration, the layflat photo book option might be for you!
