Sometimes finding the perfect gift for a loved one seems either impossible or overwhelming. Especially if that special loved one has everything they desire and can afford to buy whatever they want in life. When it comes to giving a gift, there is an art of thought and effort.
We have put together the guide below to ease your shopping experience and help you find that perfect gift for your loved one.
Make It Personal
A great place to start is by making sure that the gift is personal to your loved one. If you can customize it to something that reflects their likes such as custom playmats solutions, you are sure to put a smile on someone’s face. Take into account what their passions, likes, and dislikes are so that you can come up with the perfect customized gift.
A few examples include a specific candle scent, a gift card to their favorite store, or a calendar customized with pictures they have uploaded to their own social media sites. Anything personalized and customized is more exciting than a generic playmat or calendar.
Relaxation Time
Another way to choose a perfect gift is to think about how your loved one likes to spend their time when they have some downtime. Maybe there is a way that you can provide them with an opportunity to relax. This is a great gift for anyone especially if your loved one is stressed and overwhelmed.
There is everything from gifting tickets to go see a movie, to a mani-pedi, to a massage where they can enjoy some “me” time. Other less obvious relaxation gifts include gifting them a book if they love reading, or offering them a break from life if they have kids or fur babies by babysitting them for a few hours so that they can enjoy some time alone. You can really get creative when you are gifting your loved one some time to relax and unwind.
Favorite Snacks or Indulgence
For the foodies in your life, there are plenty of snacks and treats you can gift. If you love baking, then you can make fresh-baked homemade treats because nothing will beat homemade. If you’re not much of a cook, that’s okay too, you can look at unique snacks and treats you can order. Celebration Box offers a variety of pre-made gift boxes and treat options you can order instead. Their selection of snacks and treats allows everyone to find something they will enjoy without needing to prepare a homemade gift.
There is everything out there you can order online even unique hot sauce or custom M&M’s with your loved one’s picture or with whatever picture you choose. There are also subscription boxes that share international treats and goodies from other places around the world such as South America, England, Asia, etc.
Think About Past Conversations
Sit down and brainstorm past conversations to see if they have talked about buying something for themselves. This list is one of the best ways to buy a perfect gift because the item is something that you know they will surely love since they were willing to spend the money on themselves.
As an added bonus, this will show your loved one that you listen to what they say since you took note of something they told you before.
If you are having trouble remembering anything that they mentioned, do a bit of stalking. Some people have a running wishlist on their Amazon accounts. If you can figure out if they have a wishlist and what is on their wishlist, they will be pleasantly surprised and happy when they open a gift they had right on their list.
Make the Giving Part of an Event
You can not only get creative with how you package your gift, but you can also make the occasion of gift-giving an experience. With this, you can be creative as well. For example, you can hide a secret message in a specific book that then sends them a gift card code if you are gifting a gift card.
Or you can create a scavenger hunt where your loved one can collect clues until they find their gift. Another option is to sew the gift inside a stuffed animal and have them perform surgery in order to get its gift out. Literally, the options are endless; you just need some creativity and make sure you have fun with it.
