Thinking of a creative gift for your loved ones can sometimes be a challenge. You want to see their face light up when they open the gift and thank you for your thoughtfulness, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. Before you explore gift ideas, here are a few tips to consider:

Think about their interests: Think back on conversations you’ve had with the person you are buying a gift for. Have they mentioned an item they would love to have but don’t? What are they passionate about? What are their hobbies? Once you narrow down an idea, think about an item that they would love to have. If they love football maybe you can find their favorite team’s jersey. If they love to cook, consider a kitchen gadget or a cooking class!
Be thoughtful: Not every gift has to be expensive to be meaningful to the person you are giving it to. Maybe you are crafty or creative and can paint them a picture, write them a letter, or create a photo album with your best memories inside.
Personalize the gift: The best kind of gifts are the unique, thoughtful ones, that show the person you are giving it to how much you care about them. Perhaps they need a new wallet and you can get their initials engraved. Or, maybe you can have someone make a custom piece of art of decor for their home.
Consider an experience: Experiences last a lifetime in our minds, the memories we create with our loved ones engrained in us. Instead of a physical gift, consider buying an experience with your friend, partner, or family member. Some ideas might be a concert, sporting event, trip, cooking class, or a photo shoot!
Pay attention to their likes & dislikes: People often share what is interesting to them or what they would like as a gift. Pay attention to the hints they may drop in your company and make a list to remember for later.
The gift of time: Maybe you and the person you are buying a gift for don’t get the chance to spend much time together. You could offer to make them a meal or make a day trip to a nearby town!
