If you have a loved one feeling trapped by isolation, then a socially inspired gift that you can use together, will no doubt provide the pick me up to make their holiday special. Here’s a list of our top quarantine Christmas gift ideas to cheer up your loved ones in isolation.
Online classes to take together
There’s nothing more satisfying than learning something new. When you’re also able to bounce ideas and discuss your newfound skills with a loved one, it’s even better. There are a number of online learning providers that offer courses as gifts, with the most popular being Udemy. If you’re already enrolled in a course that you think would make a great gift, you can do it with a single click right from your dashboard. There’s no shortage of courses, so pick one that you know they’ll enjoy and use this time in isolation to grow your skill sets together.
Read the same eBooks
With the plethora of online communication mediums available, reading your favorite books can easily become a social affair. Why not grab an online Kindle Unlimited subscription for an isolated loved one, directly from Amazon? Once they have a subscription, take it upon yourselves to discuss your favorite genres and read the same book together. This turns isolated reading into a social affair, inspiring each other to read more so you can discuss that next exciting plot twist on next week’s call.
Stream music together
Live music at bars and arenas is on temporary hold during the lockdown. Why not bring the tunes to them?

Trust us, there’s nothing quite like that feeling you get when you’re jamming to the same tunes together.
Help your loved one find themselves
While a lockdown can seem quiet on the outside, a lot can be going on inside your loved ones’ minds. Help your loved one clear their mind through meditation with the Headspace app. Though this app is free to download, you will get the most benefits through a subscription. If you know someone who is particularly struggling with isolation during lockdown, talking to them should be your number one priority. However, meditation can help calm nerves and stress related anxiety.
