Are you looking for a unique, personal gift to give this holiday season? Something that helps someone make incredible discoveries about themselves and shows your interest in them and their journey?

With over 6 million people tested, an AncestryDNA kit can help you discover more stories than ever. It has linked long-separated siblings and helped users uncover lost paternal lines. This wealth of information makes it the perfect present for anyone on your list.

For people who have everything

Every family has people who seem impossible to shop for. An AncestryDNA kit is one gadget even your uncle doesn’t have. With just a few drops of saliva, the testing technology will survey his genome and compare his DNA to over 150 world regions and ethnicities, leading him to unexpected corners of the globe. The kit gives families something to talk about besides the football game, opening up new conversations and deepening relationships.

For the adventurous

Love to cook or travel? AncestryDNA users can take advantage of finding new heritage and ethnic regions by exploring different cuisines or countries. With your ethnicity estimates you can join in on the recent trend of heritage travel. You could even use your estimates to expand your cookbook! If you learn you’re part Indian, you can perfect the Chana Masala recipe you’ve been meaning to try. No matter what you discover, an AncestryDNA kit is sure to get you excited about history and the wider world you can relate to.

For the average Brit

Lots of Brits think of themselves as fully English, but a study by AncestryDNA revealed the average UK resident is only about 37 per cent British! According to the study, English people are largely Irish, French, and German in addition to Anglo Saxon. You might think you or your family’s English lineage goes back for generations, but you might find a surprise only your DNA results will reveal!

For family historians

If your grandmother has already dug into census and birth records, an AncestryDNA kit can help take her research to the next level. Paired with the world’s largest online family history resource, this kit helps users identify common ancestors among genetic matches. An AncestryDNA test will point to new directions for research, link her with distant cousins, and open up new stories about her relatives.
