We are genuinely excited as we activate our Chrismasy and hope that our love and light comes your way in this beautiful season of love! Again, from the bottom of our heart, we wish you a merry happy Christmas in advance! So, an important highlight in a lot of homes during the season is the sharing and receiving of Christmas gifts. Now while some family and friends may not be satisfied with their gifts, some others can’t stop gushing about the lovely gifts they got. So how do we ensure that everyone feels special and love their gifts during the season? It’s all in today’s post titled- The perfect Christmas gift guide for family & friends

Getting the perfect gift for your family and friends can prove to be the most difficult aspect of the Christmas and New Year period. You are probably wondering if Daddy would like the Panama hat you came across in a fancy store, what your in-law would think of the exotic bottle of wine you plan on giving them. Is it too cheap or too expensive? Would your children think you are still buying underage items for them? Would your partner read the wrong meanings to the nice cologne you got for him? These questions and a thousand more would almost tempt you to bail on the process and just settle it all in a nice family dinner. But hey! Regardless of what you decide to gift, what is most important above all, is the honest intention of wanting to make your family and friends feel special, so if they don’t like the gift, it doesn’t mean they do not appreciate your effort. So how can you ensure that ultimately, your gifts are perfect and also tally with your sincere intentions? There are few things you should research. Read along!

Your gift should be personal:

So your partner’s hairline is receding and she has been spending a lot of money on hair care products and wigs, the perfect gift for her would definitely not be a fancy bracelet that she probably doesn’t exactly need at that time. Instead, you could get her a nice set of wigs or take her to a proper hair care treatment centre where her receding hairline can be properly cared for. Same goes for every other person you want to gift, pay attention to their likes, dislikes and most pressing needs and you’ll be sure to put a smile on their faces!!

Your gift should have a story behind it 

Is there a memorable place you once visited with your friends? Or a fancy item your friend spotted and couldn’t afford at the time? As a gift, you can frame old pictures you both took at a fun spot and inscribe a sincere and heart-warming note telling them person how much you value and cherish them. Surprise your friend with the item they couldn’t afford and see how much smile you would bring to their faces and of cause, every time they make use of the item, you come to mind! Remember, your loved ones would most likely forget what you got them in a few months, except when the gift is memorable, and a gift is only memorable if it connects with your loved ones.

Don’t buy a gift just because you like it yourself!

Remember, when you are shopping for gifts, it’s not about YOU, it’s not about your preferences, it’s not about the shade of color you like or how much the item screams your style and class, it’s all about THEM. If you end of putting your preferences at the forefront when shopping for your loved ones, you might end up giving them something that is totally of no use to them and when they eventually do use it, it may be out of pity or compulsion. You surely do not want that!

Watch out for gift idea pointers:

Yes guys, its that time of the year when you should be paying close attention to what your loved ones are saying, chances are-they would most likely mention something that they want during your conversations. Look out for statements like “Oh, I really wish I could get a juice blender to make my own home-made juice this Christmas”, “Its high time I got a new car battery, else we would have to jump buses during our Christmas outings”. And if you are unable to get any gift idea from conversations with your loved ones, the next time you visit, pay attention to what is missing in their homes.

Asking never fails!

So you have paid attention to details, researched what you think your family and friends need and you still cannot figure out the right gift idea for your loved ones?? Well, its time to pull the oldest trick in the hat. Simply ask them what they would really like for the Holiday season.

The element of surprise may be a little out of place but its definitely better than buying them a horrible gift or one that has no use.

There you go guys!! I trust this post on The perfect Christmas gift guide for family & friends should help you navigate through shopping for the right gifts for your loved ones. Do not forget, your intentions matter as well. So while presenting that gift, be vocal about how you feel about your special ones. Let them know how you sincerely value and cherish their relationship and how you are glad to be a part of their lives!
