The holidays are approaching and shopping days are few. This year we are off to an early start in an attempt to get ahead so that we can actually enjoy the holiday season and its many festivities. Our halls are decked and the trees have been trimmed, and we only have a few gifts to purchase and wrap.
The most fun part about shopping for gifts is finding the right one for each and every recipient, because it really is the thought that counts. If I don’t know exactly what exactly a person wants, I try and figure out what he would like. That being said, it is not always possible, especially if you don’t know the person really well. Holiday shopping can be stressful but that doesn’t mean it has to be, because there is one gift idea that’s perfect for everyone.
This year the New Jersey Lottery has introduced four new Holiday Instant Games including $1 Holiday Sparkle, $2 Holiday Luck Times 10, $5 Holiday Spectacular, and the $10 $10,000 Bonus. These make the perfect gifts to everyone from your mail carrier to your favorite Uncle and they’re already holiday themed so they don’t even need to be wrapped. I’m sure you’ve seen the instant lottery wreaths that have been made, and I though this lotto box was adorably clever too!
Gamblers
We all know at least one person that enjoys gambling and playing the lottery. If that’s the case, you’ve probably already purchased instant games for that friend. Much better than those argyle socks he’ll never wear.
Mail Carriers
They’re not suppossed to accept cash from people on their route, which makes New Jersey Lottery Holiday Instant Games a great choice and one that shows your appreciation for their service.
Teachers
I love to give teachers practical items that will actually get use. This includes classroom supplies, gift cards, and of course instant win games. After all, teachers are underpaid and I’d love to see one win big!
Nail Tech / Hairdresser
They keep you looking beautiful. Why not treat them to the thrill of an instant game?
The Boss
Looking to move up the ladder? Give the gift of the lottery and maybe he’ll win so you can take his job! Or he won’t and you win the best gift award.
No matter who you want to treat for the holidays, you can do it without a lot of added expense. The NJ Lottery is so affordable that you can afford to be generous with just about everyone. Tickets are available at any brick and mortar Lottery retailer. Feel free to mention the store name (i.e 7-11, Quick Check, Wawa, etc). You must be 18 or older to buy a lottery ticket. The New Jersey Lottery reminds players, it’s only a game…remember to play responsibly. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1800-GAMBLER®.

These sound like fun instant games. My whole family gets lottery tickets in their stockings each year.

At my job they give us lottery tickets from time to time. I always think how great it would be if I won…especially at work!

I like to include a NJ scratch off tickets in stockings. We have fun scratching (and hoping for a win).
Emily says
This is a really great ans fun gift idea! I mean, the possibility of winning money would be amazing, and also makes the holiday season interesting. This would be a good stocking stuffer too.
Heather says
This isn’t a great idea, but I expect anyone who wins the lottery from a ticket I give them, to split it with me! ;) okay just kidding. I too love to give practical gifts to teachers so they don’t have to spend their own money.
Sarah Bailey says
Now this is an awesome idea, myself and the other half always put £1 scratchers into crackers for the Christmas table.

I know some people purchase scratch off tickets to put in stocking stuffers. The person must enjoy scratch offs for me to ever purchase them one as a gift.
Mimi Green says
New Jersey is a quick roadtrip for me. Lottery tickets are a great stocking stuffer and great gifts for people you don’t know well.
