With birthdays, anniversaries and holidays all throughout the year, you may find yourself in need of gift-buying assistance. But worry not – here are some useful tips that may help get you out of this dilemma!
Dependent upon your personality, gift shopping can be immensely satisfying. Who do you hope to wow with an impressive present?
Romantic Partner
Errors in choosing gifts for your romantic partner can be easy – you might get something they may find useful but do not really enjoy or wasteful of money. To avoid making mistakes when buying presents for them, it is advisable to first take note of what interests they share and their actions over time to give an idea of the type of present to give.
For instance, if they talk about loving a certain bakery or high-end dessert shop, gift them vouchers so that they can visit whenever they please and satisfy their craving. Or treat them to an extravagant meal or event tickets they have been discussing attending.
Another fantastic thing you can do for them is find solutions for problems they face, like sore necks. Perhaps they would appreciate physical therapy sessions or Alexander Technique classes as a thoughtful gesture showing their care and attention; these will also make them feel loved and appreciated by you!
Best Friend
Your bestie has been there through it all – sharing in your successes, celebrating them together and being there when things fell apart. She deserves something truly incredible in return.
Your bestie knows you well, making selecting a thoughtful gift easier. Consider getting her a personalized password book to keep all her online data organized or go for something with more of an aesthetic feel like a grow-your-own flower kit that allows her to see how her plant blossoms every time they see it!
For something truly thoughtful, why not give her this ceramic planter with room for a heart-shaped succulent and an inspirational quote to remind them of your friendship? Or for your bestie who enjoys minimalist fashion or TikTok trends, get her these dainty earrings personalized with their nickname, full name or funny inside joke that only they would know. Finally, this year could also be the ideal time to surprise them with tickets to see an artist they adore or a local exhibit they’ve wanted to visit – perfect!
Colleagues
At an office holiday party, White Elephant exchange or Secret Santa, giving gifts that make work life more pleasant is always a smart move. Depending on your relationship with each employee, practical items such as new commuting bags or meal services could make an excellent present; otherwise you might opt for something fun like an inside joke gag gift that highlights all your inside jokes!
Alternatively, give them a book that features 101 short essays with colorful illustrations and motivational quotes to keep their mind focused and motivated in the office environment. Or make their day by getting them this Mercer41 sheepskin throw that can double up as seat cushion.
If your colleague is embarking on a new chapter of their career, give them an unforgettable farewell gift that will remind them of all they’ve achieved. This adorable Mars-inspired Zen garden comes equipped with a resin tray, red sand, four lava rocks and an astronaut figurine – sure to help them find some peace while exploring their new space and plotting where their future may lead them!
