Gift ideas for strangers
Special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and graduations may make you feel compelled to give a gift to a recipient. This may be good if you know them well, but what if you don’t? Buying a gift that comes from the heart may be difficult, especially when you don’t know the person well.
How does that saying go… “it’s always the thought that counts”? It’s not enough to buy just any expensive item you can get your hands on, or just any trinket from a handicraft shop. It might not always be worth much, but if a receiver knew that you had them in mind when you were picking out the gift, it can be heartwarming. So what kind of gift should you be giving to people you don’t know very well?
Choosing gifts for strangers
Of course it helps if you know what your receiver wants, but sometimes you can’t avoid having to give a gift to a person you don’t know. Ever participated in a Secret Santa, or done gift exchange at an office, or bought a distant relative a gift? Then you know exactly the feeling. Fortunately, there are some ideas that could make for good gifts that many will appreciate:
- Planner or journal: This is the classic gift that most will have use for. Pick out a nice-looking planner that people can use to organize schedules or doodle in to destress!
- Handmade gifts: Scarves, shirts, keychains. A gift that you made by hand always comes from the heart. Plus, you can choose to add personal touches to it!
- Soaps, lotions, perfumes: Fragrant items like soaps and perfumes can be used by almost everyone-- they make for good presents on almost any occasion.
Make your receiver happy with thoughtful presents! And what better way than with a gift made with your recipient in mind? Try Arch Heritage, a gift shop that offers beautiful customized corporate gifts and more in Singapore.
