You know there’s always this one person at a party who comes up with the most awesome gifts. Everyone would’ve bought a candle or a watch and this person would pull up with the most Pinterest-worthy gift, something so unexpected that everyone is just taken aback.
If you are wondering “how to be a great gift giver”, well, being “that” person isn’t really that difficult. Here are some easy gifting ideas that’ll turn you into the MVP of birthdays, holidays, and random Tuesdays.
Give Something They’d Never Buy for Themselves (But Totally Want)
Yes, it is something they wouldn’t want for themselves but think about it, would they love to still have it? If yes, there you have your perfect gift. Your friend really loves that one perfume from Bath and Body Works but doesn’t want to buy it herself? There, you have a gift. Your friend wants to go for ice skating but they wouldn’t get the tickets themselves? Gift them this experience.
Add a Personal Touch (The Secret Sauce)
Look at every gift as an opportunity to give space to monograms, inside jokes, a handwritten note — sprinkle a little you into the gift. You can add these anywhere, put it in the gift or stick it to the wrapping paper. If not adding something personal, you can personalized the gift itself, think handmade personalized scrapbooks, customizable photo albums and so on.
