10 things to give for Midsummer that are not shot glasses

Shot glasses are not wrong. They’re just the first thing everyone thinks of, which makes them the least surprising option in an already fairly predictable gift category.

Midsummer is one of the few times of the year when the mood is already set, people are in a good mood and receptiveness to something a little unexpected is unusually high. It’s a good time to do something other than the obvious.

Here are ten options.

1. a t-shirt that fits the mood Not a shirt with a generic summer message, but one with a motif that says something about the recipient. Worn instantly, visible all day and requires no explanation to those who understand.

2. a mug for your morning coffee the day after Midsummer’s Eve rarely ends early. A mug with the right motif is a welcome companion the next day, and every morning after that.

3. an apron for the grill master Someone is always responsible for the grill. That apron he or she is wearing might as well say something funny as be neutral beige.

4. A hoodie for the evening chill Midsummer nights are beautiful and often chilly. A hoodie with a good motif is both practical and memorable, which is an unusual combination.

5. Something that starts a conversation Midsummer is by definition a social occasion with people you may not see very often. A gift with a motif that requires an explanation, or even better, does not, is a great conversation piece.

6. Nothing edible if you don’t know exactly what they like Chocolate, sweets and snacks are not gifts, they are time fillers. Skip it.

7. nothing requiring assembly See point 7 from Father’s Day. The principle always applies.

8. Nothing that says “Midsummer” on themed prints with the year on it is funny for three days and then never again. Choose something timeless.

9. a combination of products A mug and an apron, or a sweater and a mug. It takes a minute to add to the cart and looks more elaborate than it is.

10. Something you actually enjoyed That is the best criterion. If you smile when you find it, chances are the recipient will do the same.
