It’s the time of the year again when you need to rack your brains to find the perfect gift for the important people in your life. Let’s face it, there are people who are just impossible to shop for. Whether that person already has everything or just doesn’t want to receive random stuff that only becomes clutter, it takes a lot of creativity and thinking in the gift-giving department for these people who are hard to shop for.
Before you lose your mind thinking of the best gift for the best people in your life, there are two important rules you should remember. In gift giving, you need to remember that the present you should give is what they need or what they actually love. Imagine giving your loved one an expensive coffee maker when they don’t even drink coffee. Do you think they would appreciate it? They’ll probably just re-gift it to other people or worse, sell it online.
Most people look forward to receiving gifts that they can use or enjoy. No matter how small or big or how expensive a gift is, the important thing is that the receiver would actually appreciate it. Before you start shopping, the best way to start is by listing down the people you will give the gifts to and what they actually like. Do they love to play sports? Or would they want a cigarette pack case? These should be the questions you need to ask yourself first before heading to the store or online to buy your gifts.
Here are some of the thoughtful gift ideas that would be much appreciated even by the most challenging recipient:
A membership or subscription
Some people would always be thinking of trying to sign up either on a video streaming service or music site but don’t really do it. So, why not do it for them? If your loved one is into books, sign them up on an audiobook service like Audible, or if they are into music, a one-year subscription would be perfect for them.
Gift Cards
You might say that gift cards are so common and lame. This might be partly true, but also a clever way to be able to get the person what they really want. There’s no shame in giving someone a gift card or gift certificate as long as this is from a store or restaurant that they love. Some people actually appreciate this more than giving an actual gift since they prefer to shop for themselves.
An Experience
If you’re thinking of giving another bland gift item such as clothes or gadgets that would sit in the drawers or closet after the holidays, why not give them an experience instead? Buy them concert tickets for their favorite singer or band or give them a gift certificate for a motorcycle lesson. Want to take it higher? A skydiving experience will definitely blow the minds of your adventurous loved ones. Just make sure that the experience that you will give them is what they truly love.
Personalized Gifts
One of the best gifts you could ever give someone is the gift of time and thoughtfulness. Most people would just buy whatever they see at the store hoping the person they would give them to will like it. However, most of the time, people appreciate gifts that come from the heart and are given a lot of thought. Does your loved one smoke but have a hard time keeping their cigarettes intact? A customized cigarette case would be perfect for them. A cigarette pack case will protect their cigarettes from being damaged or crushed while inside their pocket. You can even get a customized cigarette case that is waterproofed which is perfect for people that love the outdoors.
