How to Choose a Gift For Someone Close to You

There are some moments that hold special importance in our lives. The same holds true for others as well. Occasions like the birth of a baby, a wedding, a promotion at workplace, acknowledgment from the boss and even retirement, each one of these makes us realize our true worth. When your loved ones go through this phase you must have felt like gifting them something special, something unique.

Gifting is not a new concept. One can find a variety of gift items in the market, but when the occasion seems to be momentous, such gifts are not suitable. Before gifting your relatives or friends, the first thing you need to keep in mind is their hobbies and choices. It would need a little effort on your part to get to know about their likes and dislikes. The next step in making gifts unique is to present personalized gifts. When the occasion is a baby shower ceremony, most of the gifts that would be given would be for the coming child. But by also gifting the would-be parents you would actually be pleasantly surprising them.

However, in a baby shower you can't miss gifting the baby too. Since you don't get to know the gender of the baby, it is always better to gift personalized items like hand painted mirrors and accessories besides gifting a baby basket.

If one of your closest friends or relatives is getting married, then you can actually come up with personalized gifts, using some old photographs, which will be remembered throughout the life. Most of us often think about spending a lot of money, especially on occasions like a marriage, but do not realize that money is not everything in life. You can gift something that your friend was trying to get a hold on for a long time, which would definitely bring more happiness than an expensive but normal gift. One of the occasions, we must not forget celebrating, is when some close friend or colleague retires.

To retire means the conclusion of a momentous journey and a signal to view life from a different angle. Throughout the working life a person thinks about his job, salary to run his home and his/her orientation is mainly towards fulfilling all the wishes of his/her family and saving enough money to lead a secure and peaceful life. Retirement brings an end to one journey and is no doubt an achievement in itself. Some unique gifts that you can give to a retiree are a photo frame with a group photo of the close friends at work, a collage of newspaper cuttings where the retiree has got a mention, and even personalized gifts like engraving your and your friend's name on jewelry or on a watch, photo frame, or actually, just about anything else. If the retiree strictly mentions that he/she would not be taking any gifts then you can donate to a charity in his name.

Just gifting and gifting with the right emotions are two different things. When you gift someone and you get a genuine smile in return, it means your gift has been accepted well. Unique gifts thoroughly make the occasion enjoyable and memorable to you as well as for the person who receives the gift.
