Gift giving is a large part of our daily life: western or Chinese celebration occasions, birthdays, anniversaries. It is also one of the most common ways to express your gratitude towards someone and a great way to connect with someone. And we understand that after so many years of gift-giving, it is common that you have run out of ideas for what gift to pick! When in doubt, think about who is the receiver of the gift, what is your budget, and what does the receiver like. Or, simply read our gift-giving ideas below!
Birthday Gift
Birthday is a special occasion for everyone. It not only means that we have grown one year older, but it is also an occasion for us to be thankful that we are still alive, given that we know nothing about the future. There is no model answer when it comes to a birthday gift. And where there are too many choices, picking out the ideal gift might even be more difficult!
The fast metropolitan pace, plus the covid pandemic is stressing out most city dwellers. Why not pick ‘stress relieve’ as your gift-giving theme this year? Aromatherapy is known for its stress-relieving and mood uplifting properties. Tools like candles, aroma diffusers would be the perfect gift for your receiver to attain mood changes! Apart from that, lavender-scented bath salt and coconut oil bath melt will indulge your receiver in a home spa experience! You can also consider adding in some massage tools to perfect the experience!
Holiday Gift
There are two common types of holiday gifts: for a personal occasion or a business occasion.
For personal occasions, gift exchange is the most common gift-giving during holidays when family and friends gather together. Not knowing your exact recipient might be tricky when it comes to gift-giving, but do not panic! This year, most of us are locked up under the pandemic. Consider gym pass or art jamming class pass and give your receiver a chance to begin a new hobby!
For business occasions, send your business partners and your customers a gift hamper base on your budget. A gift hamper usually consists of gourmet treats and even booze, which is the perfect gift for absolutely anyone!
Anniversary Gift
Romantic dinners, special dating courses, and surprise gifts are like the key elements of anniversaries. A bouquet is a classic gift for any anniversary. If red roses or a colorful flower bouquet has always been your usual gift, consider pairing it up with pieces of jewelry like earrings and bracelets. You may also add a cake or a box of chocolate to further spice up your special occasion!
Gift-giving is all about the 3W: Who is your recipient, What is your budget, and What does your recipient like. We hope that our recommendation inspired you to pick up the next gift at ease!
