As the leaves begin to turn and the air gets a little cooler, the holidays still feel comfortably far away. The rush of September has settled down, but before we know it, we’ll be gearing up for the sprint through the end of December.
Now is the perfect time to start thinking about who’s on your holiday shopping list. Take a moment to consider each person and their interests. If nothing immediately comes to mind, start looking for clues and paying attention to the little things. A bit of thoughtful planning now can save hours of shopping and plenty of stress come December.
If you have a mahjong player on your list, you’re in luck!
There’s no denying that mahjong is having a “mahj-moment.” Whether taking lessons from a pro at Mediterra on Beverly Road or gathering regularly at a friend’s house, mahjong has become the new book club, girls’ night out and “keep your brain sharp” activity all rolled into one.
And we’re here for it!
From gifts for your mahjong-loving girlfriends to a thoughtful surprise for the hostess of your next “Dots & Drinks” gathering — or even your wife who’s just learning to play — there are plenty of fun and creative options.
With its colorful tiles, quirky terminology, cocktails and growing fan base, it’s no wonder mahjong has inspired an entire category of playful gifts.
Gift ideas for the mahjong enthusiasts in your life include cute “carry-it-all” totes, bracelets crafted from mismatched vintage bone and bamboo tiles, cocktail napkins, cocktail mixes, dice dishes, colorful playing mats, holiday ornaments, stemless drinkware, tea towels, interchangeable serving trays, handmade fabric clutches, decorative throw pillows, Nora Fleming minis and plenty of other mahj-must-haves.
As always, we’re here to help you navigate your gifting decisions with a personal, face-to-face local perspective and a passion for meaningful gifts for every season of life.
