You know the people in your life best. And yet, how exactly do you find the perfect present that will resonate with your giftee? Struggling with gift ideas is a tale as old as time, so we figured it wouldn’t hurt to come armed for battle with a list of handy tips!
Here’s a great way to turn your gift-shopping experience into something a little more wholesome and a little less stressful.
1. Got a budget?
First things first, fix the amount you’d like to spend. There’s no shame in having a specific price range because this is the best way to narrow down the gifts you’ll buy. Whatever your budget, big or small, make sure it doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket!
2. Identify your recipient
Are you buying a gift for a new friend or a family member? Do they have a cheeky personality, or are they leaning towards the practical side? Rekindle the good times with an item that best represents the bond you both share. The best gifts often stem from shared experiences only you both know.
3. Make a list
Have they ever mentioned something they’ve always wanted, but never got to buying? Gifting ultimately is all about being attentive and paying attention to tiny details. Create a list of items you think they might need, but currently don’t own yet. Chances are, you’ll find something there.
4. Look at their timeline
Has something happened in their life recently? Did they buy a house? Did they achieve a personal milestone? Did they recently acquire a new family member? This information can help you pick accordingly what might be useful to them at this current stage in their life.
5. How do they spend their days?
Hobbies and interests can tell a lot about a person. Is there anything you can buy that’ll contribute to their me-time? Stalk their social media accounts a little, perhaps their feed can give you a little understanding of their pastimes. Get them something that’ll help harness this skill!
6. Make it personalised
Sometimes, a price tag means little. The true value of the item is shown through the effort and thoughts behind it. Whether it’s a DIY painting you’ve spent hours completing or a set of customised goodies handpicked by you – make it extra personalised and meaningful!
7. Make it a unique experience
Do things a little differently this time around! Instead of the usual E-card or Vouchers, we’re taking Virtual Gifting to another level. Once you’ve picked out a physical gift you’d like to send over, your giftee can unbox the actual gift on their device from virtually anywhere.
With Giftyspace, the unboxing experience comes with a nice twist too – If it’s not what they want, they get to change it to something else they prefer!
8. Spend time together
Nothing beats the joy of creating memories with people we love. Get them something that equates to spending more time together. Whether it’s a game, a fun activity outdoors, or tickets to their favourite show, ‘time’ is perhaps, the greatest gift of all.
