The Annual SKNappy Festive Season Gift Guide
The most wonderful time of year is here! And no, I’m not talking about the budget season for hoteliers though who doesn’t love a good spreadsheet under the tree? I’m referring to the other Silly Season, the one filled with gift-giving madness! By popular demand, I’ve rounded up this season’s best goodies and presents to ponder:
To begin with, you should be aware that I've taken the Christian Louboutin bejeweled boots I had previously requested from Santa off my list. It seems the quality has significantly declined. Just ask Taylor.
If you wish for your hands to smell like the hills of Sicily at all times, consider this inexplicably priced tomato leaves hand soap. On the other hand (literally), perhaps consider an actual holiday to Italy instead which may be a better value. Italian hoteliers will love you for it and they’re the best hosts on Earth!
For the person on your list with much love for their matcha, invest in this bit of home kitchen gear for them.
What the tech? The Ray-Ban Meta glasses seem to be all the rage; "It’s like having a personal tour guide and a super-smart assistant all in one.". For me, even when I go on a tour I ignore the tour guide and frankly I've already got too much Meta all up in my devices.
Got someone on your gift list that's keen to be one of the cool kids? The wearer of this fine set of threads can pretend they were ever groovy enough to be permitted to play at the Palm Springs Ace Hotel Swim Club.
The calming orthopedic dog bed for humans is extremely extravagant and utterly ridiculous. Consequently, I've decided to purchase just one for myself.
Also, I implore you to put any spare hard-earned cash toward one of these worthy recipients:
Support Aussie Rural Fire Service at this critical bushfire time of year.
Givit has terrific options to support someone doing it tough this season. You can donate items, donate time, or donate funds.
The pawsome people at Assistance Dogs Australia woof wuv it if you gave a gift to support Australians living with a disability.
For the adventurer on your gift list who’s keen to explore a spectacular part of Australia, start their journey with a Rawnsley Park Station Resort gift card.
Everyone knows someone who deserves a rooftop cocktail at the QT Wellington New Zealand or the opportunity to "wake up where the pleasure seekers stay" at the QT Auckland. Oh go on!
Got a person in your life who deserves a Wonder. Full. Experience? Search no more, click right here for an Ovolo gift card.
Know someone in the hotel industry who is not yet a member of HSMAI? Do them a favour, get an annual membership for them to join the hotel sales, marketing, and revenue professionals who enjoy the benefits of this 98-year-old not-for-profit organisation!
*Although heavily biased, none of these gift suggestions is a paid ad or an incentivised promotion by SKNapp Consulting. Especially not the Meta glasses, yikes.
**No AI was used in the editing of this content. You have only me to thank.
Additionally, even though Spotify accused me of being in my "Psychedelic Rap Turntablism era" (I mean, what even is that?) I still used the app to curate this year's SKNappy Songs for the Silly Season. Save it and sing your way into 2025. You are welcome.
Meanwhile, you can leave the Christmas lights up ‘til January.
