We all love to be gifted on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and thoughtful days but we constantly keep on struggling with the dominant question what to gift to our dear ones on their special days. It also depends on how well you know a person and to what extent you value their presence in your life so wish to gift them something that is remarkable, exceptional and noteworthy.
I personally feel that the gift should be useful so make it count by creating a difference and it completely depends on your budget. I would like to share my insights for planning a gift in below mentioned ideas-
- Add a personalised touch by cooking their favourite meal, create a card, letter, video clip or personalised gift items available online like photo book, frame, mug, calendar, magnets and many more. Make them feel special on the big day every moment by gifting the no. of items in terms of years like 18 gifts for the 18th birthday. Above all, give your precious time and cherish the good memories together.
- Gifts related to Self-care like fitness kit, health check-up, beauty treatment, spa or a just a relaxing massage treatment for your loved ones.
- Hobbies: Gift books, puzzles, trekking accessories, camera accessories, diary, latest technology gifts for lovers of music, cooking, gardening, etc. also home improvement items to organize their space and decor.
- Useful in day-to-day life: Daily items like bedsheets, blankets, advanced electrical appliances, accessories for car, bike, office and computer; healthy food kit of dry fruits, chocolate bouquets, etc. Beauty accessories for fashion lovers, sponsor annual subscription of virtual entertainment, servicing their car and bike that they use daily, annual mobile recharge, etc.
- Plan a surprise: A secret vacation or adventure package, movie, date or anything that they constantly dream and wish.
- Invest: Gift a Fixed deposit, mutual fund or gold jewellery as it definitely values than artificial ones.
- Environment friendly gift: I feel flower bouquets will eventually fade away so better gift a sapling or plant a tree on their special day which will definitely stay for a longer period.
- Contribute to welfare of society: Sponsor a child’s education, visit NGOs like orphanage, old age home, etc. and celebrate with them by sponsoring their meal rather than hosting a surprise party as the people in NGOs will definitely cherish your special day than the invited list of guests for fun party. It will definitely add memories of lifetime in the heart of people living in NGOs.
- Gift a freedom of choice by vouchers available across various sites.
P.S: To make their day exceptional by your gift that they will always cherish try to assist them by observing and asking what they need well in advance so that the gift adds value to their life. Ensure you keep the gift as a secret and reveal it with a surprise where I believe the best gift which one can give is their time to make our dear ones enjoy their day to the fullest without any worries of past and future as it’s the only day in entire year which they count on with time passing by. Thanks for reading until end!
