A gift guide to make the yuletide gayer

Finally, it's that time of the year to think of loved ones and give gifts in appreciation to honor them. An unexpected present can liven up a gathering and unique ideas can sometimes be a lofty goal. Here are a few gift guide ideas that can make the yuletide even gayer while shopping for your chosen family or even yourself.

Being full of pride is every day and when the weather outside is frightful a rainbow can lift the spirits. Leave it to a young person named Cason Dean to shine a spotlight on diversity at a time when America is not united on those who don't fit in a box. The sixteen-year-old started Inclusive Christmas, a firm based in the Big Apple. Dean was inspired by his heritage of a mixed-race family after not finding an Asian Santa inflatable in New York.

The company offers a wide range of items including lawn inflatables, garden flags, coffee cups, festive ornaments, tote bags and warm apparel.

While Christmas is still a narrow term, this corporation has its holiday heart pumping in all the right places. Support a step in the right direction at inclusivechristmas.com and subtract 10 percent after signing up for the not-naughty, but nice, email list. Friday is now more diverse than ever with options for a rainbow of ethnicities to be celebrated this season!

The holidays can be a sensory overload for many shoppers and sleep is essential. Unwind the stressful day with a LetroFan Micro 2 that will assist in a long winter's nap for up to 40 hours of sleeping sounds. Take a sound bath as a variety of non-looping sounds will wash over one in bed with an extensive array of colorful speakers.

Pair two together for double the fun and 20 hours of Bluetooth audio between charges with a built-in battery. Play directly from your smartphone or electronic device and go for a sonically appealing ride without leaving the house. Visit soundofsleep.com and sleep tight!

Whether it's a loud or a silent night the Jockstrap Candle will keep one's spirits bright. Warm up with wax and let it shine. Modeled after an NFL player's jock, Odell Beckham Jr. allows patrons to bring the locker room to their doorstep. Online gambling site BetUS has teamed up with the sporty hero and has mixed up a batch of his actual sweat, citrus, neroli flower, green lavender and amber ingredients for just the right concoction.

The company is betting that consumers will snap up this jockstrap work of art at $50 a pop. Take a whiff and enjoy a Miami scent sent right to the purchaser's doorstep. Visit betus.com.pa/nfl/the-jockstrap-candle/ and experience this kinky candle from a wide receiver yourself. Enjoy the smell of victory without the odor of da' feet!
