Four Gift Ideas to Give to a Loved One
I often get asked the question on how to find a perfect gift to give someone special! Truth be told, finding gifts for loved ones isn’t always easy, and whoever you’re buying for, it’s important to find the right gift for them. Whether it’s a work colleague, family member or friend. One of my favorite things to do is to buy something when I see it, if it matches up to someone in my life, and then gift it to them at the appropriate time! I realize that not everyone has the patience to do that so here are four gift ideas to give to a loved one.
These are especially handy during this time of social distancing due to the COVID 19 pandemic as one is not able to be together for celebrations, sad events or milestone events so sending a gift can be especially meaningful.
Edible Gift Boxes
Sometimes food is something that leads straight to the heart, and for those who love their food, an edible gift is a gift that is suddenly ten times better. There are plenty of online stores and in-store opportunities where you can gift someone an edible gift box or gift. It could be something from esprovisions.com or perhaps a cake made locally to you from a small business or individual. There are plenty of sites that do hampers where you can really push the boat out when it comes to getting a whole heap of food and beverage options. There are lots out there to consider so think about getting something edible if they enjoy their food or a particular food or drink.
A Gift Experience
Gift experiences are a step up from a standard gift because they end up being something that the recipient can enjoy for more than just within that moment. There are gift experiences where they could perhaps have a spa weekend or take a trip on a hot air balloon, for example. Like the edible gifts, you can pick and choose these gift experiences that reflect the person specifically. Some can be cheap, but others can be pricey, so it’s worth shopping around and also allocating a budget of how much you’d like to spend on the person in question. It’s definitely something that’s unique and is a way of doing something different.
Gift Cards
For those who you really struggle to buy for, gift cards can be an easy buy. It’s probably best to try and find gift cards that are specific to a store or website they love, but if you don’t have a clue, then general gift cards to Amazon, Target and Nordstroms are a safe choice. It’s something that you’d likely do if you’re really struggling to find anything, especially last-minute.
Handmade Gifts
When it comes to gifting presents, it’s always the thought behind it that really counts. Handmade gifts are certainly something that can be unique and worth doing if you have a talent in a particular area. It could be baking a cake or edible gifts for your loved one to making soaps or candles. Whatever your talent is, a handmade gift can go a long way in saying how much effort and thought that has gone into said gift. It’s also likely to be something that’s unique.
