Now, I don't know about you, but for me finding the perfect gift for someone is pretty tricky, especially if I don't know that person so well. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one in this situation, right?
You see, the problem with gifts is that it’s not always possible to know whether or not a person is going to like the one that you have bought until you open it up. You might think that you have smashed it out of the park, and then you barely get a smile when the time comes to open it up, so in order to prevent that from happening, I decided to write this post.
Go For Personal
One of the things that I recommend is that you always go for something personal. The reason for this is that the thought is what will ultimately count, and if you go for something personal, this is reflected in how long you put into choosing the gift. Getting a gift personalized with a special message, or even just the recipient’s name is a fantastic idea that everyone is sure to love. Nobody has ever gotten a personalized gift and hated it, that’s for sure.
Think about what they like
Another thing that you should consider is what they actually like. Every person likes something different. For example, my husband loves his watches but after gifting him a watch two years in a row, it was time to think of something different but not too far from this theme.
I decided to go for the
Barrington watch winder. These watch winders not only look gorgeous, but they are also a tool that every watch lover should own in my opinion. Over winding is a problem that you find often when you own an automatic watch, so Barrington takes that fear away with their automatic watch winders that ensure that your watch has the correct amount of turns per day, to keep your watch in optimum condition when you are not wearing it.
That's pretty cool, right? Wait, there's more! Not only are these winders very handy, but they're also looking fab! They come in a multitude of colors and their minimalistic design is simply stunning and goes well with every interiour.
So if you know someone that could use a watch winder, look no further because they make an amazing gift!
Keep it simple
Something else that you should consider is keeping it simple. You don’t have to go over the top for every occasion, every single year. This is especially true if you don’t know the person that well. You shouldn’t spend hours and hours trying to find the perfect gift for someone that you have only known a couple of months because the likelihood is that you won’t be able to find it. Instead, go for something simple like aftershave/perfume, gift cards, chocolates, flowers and so on. It might seem like you haven’t put much effort into this, but at least you won’t have wasted a whole bunch of money on something they don’t like.
Ask A Friend
Have you considered asking a friend if they have any advice? Ask them what they are getting for the person in question and then work out if this helps you. It might be the case that you can buy something similar that matches, or it might light the inspiration fire under you and get you into the right frame of mind. Sometimes it just takes listening to what someone else is thinking in order for you to come up with an idea of your own.
Have They Mentioned Anything?
Finally, think back and see if they have mentioned anything that they might have liked. Perhaps they pointed something out when you passed a store. Perhaps they have been browsing online and they have shown you something. Pay attention to these things throughout the year, because it’s this information that is going to help you the most.
Finding the perfect gift for someone can be tricky but with a little help from this article you can really make someone really happy with an original gift.
