If you’re struggling to figure out what to get that special someone in your life for Christmas this year, put your best foot forward by keeping their feet in mind! In today’s blog, we share five foot-inspired gifts that your parents, your spouse or your kids will enjoy.
Foot-Inspired Christmas Gift Ideas
Here are some creative gift ideas inspired by your hard-working feet, with some links included!
1. Foot Impression Ornament – If there’s a newborn in your life, commemorate their first Christmas or celebrate Grandma and Grandpa by making a foot impression Christmas tree ornament. You can put your child’s foot in fast-drying clay to make an ornament, or you can apply some skin-safe green paint and have them place their foot on an ornament to act as the tree, which you can then decorate as you please (see picture for an example).
2. Slippers – Slippers are a perfect way to help keep your loved one’s feet warm this winter. If you think they’ll put them on to go outside to grab the mail or the newspaper, make sure the slippers have grips on the bottom to prevent slipping. And if your loved one constantly has cold feet, consider getting them a microwavable pair that you can safely heat to help keep their feet warm.
3. Pedicure – Not only does a pedicure feel good, but it can also help to keep your feet and nails clean and prevent problems like Athlete’s Foot and ingrown toenails. Buy a gift certificate to their favorite salon, or better yet, book and appointment for the two of you and offer to pay.
4. The PediEgg – If you want to keep your feet healthy without the cost of a salon-level pedicure, grab a Pedi-Egg or similar product. This product helps to keep your feet healthy by gently removing dead skin and calluses on your feet. Dry and cracked skin can be a pain, especially during the winter, but you can help to remove dead flaky skin with the hep of the PediEgg.
5. Foot Massager – A foot massager is another great gift to help protect and pamper your feet after a long day of walking and moving. There are more advanced electronic options, or you can go with an old fashioned wooden roller massager, whatever you think will work best for that special someone in your life.
And finally, one thing we hope you’ll do for your feet this holiday season is to pay attention to them and get them the care they deserve if something starts to hurt. Don’t put off care, because odds are pain will only get worse. If you’re dealing with foot discomfort, set up an appointment with Dr. Silverman and the team at Silverman Ankle & Foot today.
