Gift giving for birthdays is a tricky business — what to buy, what to say, flowers or jewellery?
It’s no surprise that gift-giving is a big fear for many people. With the enormous amount of gift guides out there, it’s difficult to know how much you should spend on the birthday present; especially when you want to ensure the recipient is happy with their gift. Even though the recipient may be a friend or a family, you have to keep in mind that, despite what he/she tells you all the time, your friend is still human and gifts will make them happy.
As simple as birthdays can seem, there are many things to consider. Relationships, immediate vs extended family, whether you know someone well or not and what milestones year are they celebrating (21st or a 50th birthday).
Your budget entirely depends on how much money you’re able to spend and we have put together some suggestions to help with your budget;
- Gifts for a small budget
If you are having a tight budget you can choose from options like chocolates, hard cover journals, customised wine glass(es), a nice pair of sunglasses,shoes and customised jewelries.
2. Gifts for a medium budget
A personal blender for smoothies, fragrant candles, a photo book, home décor goods, gift vouchers to their favourite shops or activities, or a subscription can all be purchased with a medium budget.
3. Gifts for a large budget
As a large spender, you have a far wider selection of gift possibilities. You can put together a gift box with their favourite or most-needed products, including a new phone, an iWatch, cash, gift cards, kitchenware, a portable projector, and a lot more.
Not to forget, if you are someone that has very limited time to think and curate all these gift items, there’s something significant that you can equally give; A GIFT CARD!
Gift cards are like an open cheque, you put the power in the hands of the person you are gifting and help them get a very preferred gift that will mean a lot more to them. Gift cards are highly recommended.
Ultimately, the thought behind the gift is what counts. As long as you keep these tips in mind, you can usually find an appropriate gift for any budget. You can still get them something they need, but make it fun as well.
