Make a Thoughtful Gift
Everyone can buy or make a big (thoughtful) gift this year. The gift idea explained in this article is based on getting a gift to reflect the personality or positive character traits of the person to whom you're giving it, just to increase the thoughtfulness of the gift-giving.
Steps
- Think of an adjective that describes the person you are looking for. For example, sweet."
- Find something that also means that adjective. For example, a sugary sweet.
- Wrap it up. Put it in a decorated baggy or jar. Try to match the adjective if possible, such as finding wrapping paper with candy pictured all over it. Or stick wrapped candy all over it!
- Write a related and pretty saying in the card. For example: Take your seat because you are about to find out how sweet you are.
- Think of other ways to build on the theme. The more obvious it is to the recipient, the more successful your gesture is!
- Finished.
Tips
- Make something from your heart - not the store.
- Make a nice card that reflects your personality and includes things to their liking, e.g. if they like cats, make a cat theme. Also, you can also use humour, since if they laugh it means they're enjoying it.
- Remember, it doesn't have to be really expensive. People appreciate gifts that clearly took a lot of thought and effort, and if the gift suits them perfectly, they will know that you understand them.
- If you love someone the smallest thing is the world to them as long as it comes from something you think is special.
- This might look cheap or corny, but people will be able to tell you put a lot of thought into it.
- Writing a poem or song is a cheap but lovely way to tell someone you care about them, especially if you write about why you love/like them. Including their name is a nice touch too. Also, make sure that the gift is something that means a lot to them.
- Think about what they like, give it to them as a surprise.
