Best Gifts For Redheads & Ginger Lovers

What do you buy as a gift for a redhead? If they’re particularly proud of their ginger hair (which all redheads should be, of course), then giving them a present that relates to their red hair will land you top marks.

We’ve done the legwork for you and put together a list of the perfect gifts for gingers. Most are silly – all are awesome.

Part of the gang!

Not on The High Street

Bright orange (of course) and emblazoned with ‘Ginger’s Socks’, there will no longer be any mix-ups of whose socks are whose.

Boosting red hair shades

Available in the Ginger Parrot Store or gingerfulhair.com

Gingerful’s hair products for redheads work in complete harmony with each other to enhance multi-tonal highlights and lowlights found in red hair, while nourishing and protecting it in ways mainstream products don’t.

Armed with natural henna for amplifying your colour and rose for a touch of sweetness, these products treat your hair like it’s rare.

Nothing says you appreciate your ginger friend’s uniqueness than buying a gift that enhances and cares for their red hair. It’s thoughtful, unusual, and a winner in any redhead’s eyes. Try the Henna & Rose shampoo, conditioner or hair mask (or all three!).

Gingerella treats

Available from Amazon

Gingerella is a crisp ginger ale, containing Mother Nature’s magical healer, ginger, and a blend of lemon, vanilla, sugar and spices grown by farmers in the developing world.

So not only does it taste good, it does good, too. Plus, the packaging is kinda pretty.
