Gift giving is a very thoughtful way of showing affection and care. When presenting gifts randomly, it may be easy to gather different items into beautiful gift hampers for your loved ones, but it’s a bit different when there’s an occasion.
Special occasions require gifts that are thoughtful but significant. For instance, some gifts may be too personal for an event while some may be too random for the same occasion. To achieve the proper balance, here are some gift ideas for special occasions.
Anniversaries
Whether it’s a relationship or wedding anniversary, giving gifts that remind a couple of beautiful memories is thoughtful - It could be a trip to where the couple met or a collage frame with different memorable pictures. If it’s a milestone anniversary like the 10th, 25th, etc., the gift can get more personal and unique such as jewelry and customized gifts.
Birthdays
Birthdays are one of the best times to surprise loved ones with thoughtful gifts. There are tons of options to use as gifts for birthdays because it’s not a very streamlined occasion. Gifts can include cake, chocolates, getting the person an item they always wanted but don’t have yet, taking the person out to a special place, an item in the person’s favorite color and the icing on the cake – a beautiful card.
Birth of a baby
The presence of a new baby is usually a joyful and beautiful time for a couple, so almost all gifts will be welcome. As amazing as this sounds, this is also a great time to find thoughtful heartwarming gifts for both mum and child. Gift hampers containing self-care products for the mum and baby will be appreciated. Other gifts include; toys and clothing for the baby, baby monitors and strollers. When in doubt, however, another good idea is to give the couple some money to buy what they might need.
House warming party
This is another event where both personal and random gifts can suffice. If the house owner is a close friend, a great place to start will be from checking out items they may need in the house that haven’t been bought yet. It could be kitchen items, living room decorations, bedroom accessories etc. One could also get less personal items like antiques, art pieces or even a bottle of wine and some cookies that everyone can drink and eat while they admire the new house.
Wedding
A wedding is an excellent opportunity to give gifts that symbolize togetherness and love. Frames, albums, houseware sets, home appliances and kitchen items are all fantastic ideas. Tickets to visit a beautiful place of their choice is another heartwarming gift that would be greatly appreciated by the couple.
Finding the perfect gift may be tasking, but the best heart-warming gifts are the ones that come from the heart. When in doubt, however, already packed gift hampers for different occasions come in handy.
