With the Christmas holidays around the corner, you have probably started thinking about what to get this year for the people you care most about. How do you find the perfect gift, and what actually makes it unique and meaningful? For those of you who don’t like the crowded stores and endless lines, or want to do things differently this year, here are some helpful ideas.
When choosing a present, we think about what the recipient’s interests, hobbies, or preferences are and we try to match them with a suitable gift. This shows that we care and we have taken the time to learn or notice their desires, tastes, or personalities. Gifts that are tailored to their needs and likes will be used and appreciated more, regardless of their monetary value.
But what happens when the tech-savvy person ends up with 5 pairs of the latest Bluetooth earphones? Or the book-lover who has been getting books for years in a row? Wouldn’t they like something different? Something a bit unexpected and surprising, something that would maybe spark up a new interest, or open doors to fun experiences?
The point of both approaches is to create a sense of joy and excitement, deepen relationships, and inspire positivity. So let’s go through a few examples of tailored and surprise gifts that can spread happiness.
Gifts that carry a story or a heartfelt message uniquely designed for the recipient have a special meaning. They show effort and dedication, often becoming remembered and appreciated keepsakes.
What better way to capture meaningful moments than to turn them into tangible and beautiful photo custom gifts that will remind people of the love, laughter and shared experiences?
A personalised bauble featuring a photo from that year’s most special moment is a different kind of magic. Just imagine the surprise of everyone in your family when they spot their favourite photos hanging on the Christmas tree. Glitter globes take this enchantment even further – a wedding photo or family portrait surrounded by swirling sparkles is more than just a decoration. The photo custom gifts become instant heirlooms that tell a family’s story year after year.
Have a bag, a keyring, or a laptop sleeve customised with a meaningful photo to add a personal touch to their everyday routine. Custom photo gifts ,like notebooks, mini bags, pencil cases, or bag tags are an excellent idea for school kids. These objects will not only make activities more enjoyable but they will also never get mixed up with another student’s belongings.
Cushion covers featuring artistic renditions, coffee mugs with kids’ smiles, and coasters featuring personal messages are just a few everyday items that can trigger happiness throughout the day.
Playing games during the holidays is a favourite pastime for both children and adults. Why not make these moments even more entertaining with a customised photo jigsaw puzzle or a pack of cards?
Personalised gifts create a unique impression and make people feel appreciated. Each of them is one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated by others, reflecting the true bond between the giver and receiver.
Surprise experiences create lasting memories and stories. Unusual and unexpected gifts have an emotional impact that makes them more memorable, challenge our assumptions, and push us out of our comfort zones. So, maybe this Christmas you can choose a present that will lead to someone’s personal growth, expand their horizons, and trigger their curiosity and excitement.
Has your mother or your wife always told you how she wanted to be a dancer when she was a young girl? Well, why not make that dream come true, in a way? Book some dance classes at the nearby dance school for both of you. You will not only have the time of your life and create priceless memories, but you will also have the privilege to get to know a different side of your loved one. This can be a great choice for people who claim they have two left feet. They can finally learn how exciting it is to make that twirl on the dance floor and astonish everyone at the next party.
There is always that one person who thinks they are terrible at art or any handwork. Encourage them and help them see that everyone has a creative side, it’s just a matter of proper guiding through the process and a bit of practice. Pottery, painting/drawing classes or knitting workshops are fun, relaxing, and a great opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills. (Be prepared though, to get a crooked mug or an oversized sweater they made themselves next Christmas, and make sure you compliment them on a job well done.)
Explore events in their area and get them a one-day tour. This can be a day at a local vineyard, followed by a wine tasting, a craft beer brewery where they can discover new tastes. For the sports fans, book a tour around their favourite team’s stadium or a ticket for their next match. A hot-air balloon ride or a sky-diving course could be the ideal way to wake up the adrenaline in your homebody friend.
This Christmas, let your gifts be a reflection of your love, thoughtfulness, and care. Whether you choose something personal and meaningful, or surprise them with an adventurous experience, you have a chance to spark up some joy and make someone happy.
