Finding an excellent personalized gift that will warm a loved one’s heart is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. Seeing them open your present with excitement will make you feel like you know them better than they know themselves, which is why even searching for these gifts can feel so good.
But then there are other types of gifts—the ones you want to give to your coworkers, new friends, or family members you meet once a year on a family vacation. We understand that trying to find a perfect gift for someone you don’t know very well can be stressful and time-consuming, which is why you should consider these six gift ideas that will impress anyone on your shopping list.
Luxury wine gifts
For wine lovers, a bottle of good wine is not a luxury—it’s a necessity that keeps their decadent lifestyle rich and exciting. But, more importantly, an aromatic wine bottle with a dominant aroma is a universal gift that even those who don’t fancy the nectar of the gods can appreciate.
Red wine is rich in antioxidants, and it goes well with poultry, which makes it ideal for birthday dinners. However, if you want to give something special to a friend or a coworker who enjoys making cocktails, a bottle of fortified wine is the safest choice.
Portable Bluetooth speakers
Everybody loves music. Although it’s easy to listen to your favorite tunes while driving or traveling by bus, a portable Bluetooth speaker is a must-have for outdoor parties.
If you don’t know what the person in question wants for their birthday, a portable Bluetooth speaker will allow them to listen to whatever they like whenever they leave the house. If you want to make a statement, pair the Bluetooth speaker with a portable charger, and the fun will never end.
Colouring books and markers
You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy making art. Colouring is trendy and fun, and it urges your brain to experience peace and relief by entering a meditative state. If your coworkers have been under a lot of stress lately, geometric and floral coloring books will help them find joy and reclaim their inner peace and power.
Make sure to include a few coloring pens and markers to inspire them to be more creative. However, if you don’t think that buying a coloring book is a good idea, mini chalkboard signs with magnetic stands for their fridge are an excellent alternative.
Gift hampers
If you’ve ever received a hamper, you already know that hampers are ideal for every occasion. You can give luxurious and elegant gift hampers both to your loved ones and business partners or coworkers. Additionally, the recipient will receive multiple gifts in one basket, and that can save you so much time and effort when you’re trying to find a perfect gift for someone you don’t know very well.
It’s worth noting that hampers are versatile and unique, but more importantly- they’re affordable. So if you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on gifts for the acquaintances in your life, consider buying them a gift hamper.
Handmade goods
Homemade and personalised gifts are unique because they are created with love. For example, if you love baking in your free time, you can surprise the recipient with their favorite dessert or a casserole. More importantly, the options are endless. For example, you can choose to create a custom pet portrait, make a DIY initial necklace, or develop a new recipe for a homemade bath bomb.
Whatever you decide to make, be sure to start your DIY project on time. The last thing you want is to end up buying a universal gift because your homemade creation is not ready for wrapping.
Low maintenance plants
Plant parents are people who love to surround themselves with flowers and herbs of all kinds. Although it’s safe to say that not every person you meet is a plant lover, most people can handle taking good care of a low-commitment plant.
Indoor plants are well known for improving mood and lowering anxiety and stress, and gifting a potted plant to someone can show them you care about their wellbeing. More importantly, plants are appropriate for almost all occasions, so make sure to visit your local flower shop and find a perfect cactus for a plant parent-to-be.
Conclusion
Finding a perfect gift for someone you don’t know very well isn’t easy, but you shouldn’t give up. If possible, ask the recipient what they want or consult friends or family members that know them better than you do.
However, if you barely know the recipient, let your kindness inspire you to brighten their day. Showing other people that you want to make them feel good without expecting anything in return is the best way to notice them and send a message that says—I see you, and I value you.
