THREE GIFT IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR LOVED ONES HAPPY

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Delhi North chapter.

Every special occasion—be it a birthday, an anniversary or any festival, brings along with it the daunting task of buying gifts for our loved ones. 

Buying a present is all about making the other person feel special. And if you desperately want to do so but don’t know-how, fret no more. Here are a few ideas for personalized, creative and aesthetic gifts that will surely help you bring a smile across the faces of your dear ones.

PERSONALISED HAMPERS

Personalized hampers are a great way to make the other person feel special. You could either make one yourself or order a custom-made online according to your liking. You can completely tailor it based on the other person’s preferences. For example, you can add tons of skincare essentials or scented candles, or some treats. You can stick to a particular theme or add anything and everything the person likes. The world is your oyster when it comes to packing hampers. 

Decorating it with a cute bow and ribbons and attaching a small note to it would help you take the gift a notch higher. 

PHOTO COLLAGE/ DIGITIZED SKETCHES

Photographs are the best means to seize and embrace memories forever. A personalized photo frame is the best way to show how much a person means to you.

There are many ways to go about it. Rotating photograph cubicles are available in almost all gift shops and are a great way to compile all your pictures. Readymade frames are also an option. Recently, digitized doodles have also become a trend. You could also get creative and make a collage of all sweet memories or of all the crazy times you’ve had together.

This is the perfect gift if you wish to have a walk down memory lane. (just keep a box of tissues handy, nostalgia might hit you all hard.)

CONCERT/STANDUP TICKETS

If you’ve dreamed of becoming the cooler sibling or friend of your group, this idea is for you! 

Passes for a concert or a good show are surely going to make the other person’s day. So, if you know someone who’s a big fan of a particular artist, keep an eye out.  

All these ideas are for people you know well. Vouchers/ gift cards/ an assorted set of chocolates are a few other universal gifts you can go for if you have a tough time deciding on a present.

The things listed above are mere suggestions. What you want to do to make the other person’s day is solely up to you. You may choose to go for any of the options mentioned here or you may come up with something completely different. At the end of the day, it’s the thoughtfulness that matters.
