The countdown to Christmas is on and every year I make the same pledge to myself, get started early and take the time to find those unique gifts that deliver the authentic oohs and aahhs.
I’m not going to lie, it can be a daunting task to come up with the perfect gift especially when your scrambling from store-to-store wondering what your friends and family members really want or need.
This year, I’m changing the way I think about gift giving. A part of getting older is watching those around us begin their own lives, whether this is the start of a new and exciting career, a marriage or the birth of a first child. Choosing a gift that incorporates a special milestone in one’s life makes it all the more meaningful. Not to mention, it completely narrows down gift options for you to pick from.
Today, I collected a fun roundup of trendy and sentimental gifts from one of my favourite online shops, Minted. I categorized gift ideas for some of those special milestone moments.

I’m loving the footprint foil art. Such a great way to cherish those infant memories!
I love these — definitely something they wouldn’t be expecting to get.
I love that napkin set! Ant wait to do some shopping!
Custom gifts are the best! I’m looking at a few mugs from Uncommon Goods but wow are they pricey!
Awesome collections. I love all the gifts, especially the play tent for the little ones.
