Find the perfect gift for your loved ones
Tearing into bright, shiny gift wrappers, big smiles, and shouts of glee… Giving gifts is just as much fun as receiving them!
So whatever the occasion and whatever the budget we’ve lined up a few ideas to make each gift memorable and special.
For Him:
No Limit (Mom’s pitching in for these gifts) – Men love nothing more than the latest versions of anything gadget-y n gizmo-ish. You can’t go wrong with iPods, digicams, cell phones, mp3 players or PS3.
Some Limit (Saved up last month’s pocket money) - If you know his size buy him a trendy sweatshirt or jacket this winter. Perfumes or accessories like wallets, glares or watches would make great gifts too! Try something different by gifting him a Swiss Army knife.
Very Limited (Darn, realized last week and begged & borrowed a bit) – There are a lot of interesting options for a low budget too like tees with funny one-liners, personal products like gels, shaving kits etc. For someone who likes reading, books would be perfect. Guys who like cool accessories would love to receive baseball caps, funky rings or bracelets.
Very very Limited (Well pretty much nothing) – The best things in life are free! Creating a gift makes it sooo special. Bake a cake, make chocolates or cook a meal as a gift and see the warm smile of appreciation. Know his taste in music? Burn him a CD of his all time favorites.
For Her:
No Limit (Dad’s pitching in for these gifts) – Women love them gadgets as much as men, especially of the iPod, digicam and cell phone variety. When in doubt remember, nothing makes a woman sparkle more than a piece of jewellery!
Some Limit (Saved up last month’s pocket money) – Oh there’s so much you can gift women! From dresses to perfumes, make-up hampers and bags, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Since women love shopping a gift voucher of her favourite store would make a nice gift too. Salon or spa treatments are another different and interesting options.
Very Limited (Darn, realized last week and begged & borrowed a bit) – A photo frame with a picture of you’ll will be something she’ll treasure. Funky tees and imitation jewellery always come in handy for women. You can also go for aromatherapy products, essential bath oils or candles. These come beautifully packaged and are not too expensive.
Very very Limited (Well pretty much nothing) – Girls are rather sentimental and would appreciate any effort that you put in to make her feel special. So call her over for dinner and cook her a special meal or burn a CD of her favourite songs. Chocolates and soft toys will always bring a smile to her face. If you want to personalise the gift further make a scrapbook or collage of your pictures together!
At the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts. So always ensure that the gift you choose is based on the person’s likes or dislikes. Happy gifting!
