It is evident that giving and receiving gifts are both euphoric experiences. But you shouldn’t have to burn your pocket just to make your loved ones feel special. Especially during festivities or during those months when your budget is a little tight, you shouldn’t have to worry about spending a fortune on expensive gifts. For example, if your close friend got engaged, even sending a special and personalized engagement card could be a wonderful way of showing how happy you are for them. People who love you and care for you will always value your gifts irrespective of whether they are simplistic or extravagant.
We understand that you’d want to give wonderful gifts while adhering to your budget. But when the time arrives it becomes a little too difficult to find the right things in the right budget. You simply seem to have run out of ideas. And that is why we’ve compiled a simplistic guide that allows you to choose a gift for every budget:
Culinary Tools
If your loved one loves to cook or simply just hosts dinner and/or tea parties then gifting them culinary or kitchen items could be a great idea. From personalized dining table handkerchiefs to knife sets and spoon sets to costlier options such as dinner sets or pan and pot sets, the options are innumerable.
Books
When it comes to books, there is no way you could go wrong. Even if the person who is receiving the gift is not into books, you can always give them a guidebook or an encyclopedia about something they are interested in. If they love cooking, a recipe book would be perfect. If they love making DIY projects at home, then they’d love a guidebook about more such projects. And no matter which book you buy; it will always fit your budget.
Stationery
Whether you need to give something to younger kids, or your colleagues, stationery is the most versatile option you have. Everybody loves and more importantly, needs some sort of stationery. You can give a weekend planner to a busy bee mom or a student who needs to track their tasks, a pen set to your boss or your parents and the list goes on and on. The best part about stationery is that you can start from one thing and keep adding items to create a whole hamper depending on your budget.
Greeting Cards and Handwritten Letters
Receiving something that has a personal touch to it can be extremely special. In fact, many people even like to keep the letters and cards they receive as a personal keepsake. It goes to show that you are willing to make efforts to show your love for that person.
Experiences
At the end of the day, it might be so that the person you want to give something to already has everything in abundance. Every idea that you come up with feels unsatisfactory. In such cases, the best thing to give a person is an extraordinary experience – a trip to the beach or a picnic or treating them to a mani-pedi or a spa, or taking them out on camping. When it comes to experiences you can spend as little as you want to as much as you can depending on your budget.
Conclusion
Buying gifts for others shouldn’t be a stressful experience for you. You should enjoy the process as much as they’d enjoy receiving the gift. If you are looking for cute and unique cards or weekend planners you can check our website here. We make gift browsing even more fun!
