Can you name each of the five gift-giving etiquette rules? Most people can’t!
Well, here they are: don’t use large packaging for a small gift, experiences are more personal than things, gift cards are acceptable, spend more on others than yourself, and personalize your gifts.
Personalization is undoubtedly the most important rule – this will make the recipient truly appreciate the effort you’ve gone to with your thoughtful gift. Fortunately, personalization can come in many forms.
If you want to wow your loved ones with thoughtful gifts, read on for some inspiration.
Flowers
Flowers are a classic gift, but they’re not appropriate for everyone. Generally, people either love or hate to receive flowers, so make sure to think about what your recipient will value before sending flowers.
Fortunately, for those that love flowers, there are hundreds of gorgeous and out-of-the-box floral arrangements you can choose from.
If you’ve left it too late for most delivery services, find a florist that offers same-day delivery (the bonus is that the flowers will be at their freshest).
Personalized Goods
If you want to send personalized gifts, why not send a Moonpig card? Make it fun, unique, and include an inside joke that the receiver will love.
To go with your card, include a desk calendar containing twelve iconic photos from a special occasion you both attended. These personalized touches are guaranteed to put a smile on the receiver’s face all year round.
Pamper Gift Box
Next, why not treat your loved one to some self-care? You can find services that’ll allow you to choose from various items to add to your pamper box.
Many of these pamper boxes include wines, face masks, chocolate treats, and bath bombs.
You can choose all their favorite self-care essentials so they can pamper themselves before a big day or after a long day.
Letter
Finally, the most thoughtful and personal gift you can give is a letter. Why not send your loved one a letter of appreciation, a reminder of great times, and express how you’ll always be there to support them.
Now, we know that some people will also appreciate a material gift – instead of putting money in with your letter, why not include a gift card for one of their favorite stores?
Giving a gift card means you know that your money will be spent on a quality item rather than disappearing into the rent and bills fund.
