Gifting ideas for every occasion and budget
Gifts given in the right spirit are always appreciated irrespective of the value or product. However, there certainly is no harm in looking for gifts that are appropriate, trending and suitable for use by the recipient. So before deciding a gift, here are some things you need to keep in mind:
- The message you want to give
- The taste and preferences of the recipient The occasion
- The occasion
- The budget
The message you want to give
Usually a gift is another way of saying you care. Which is why a thoughtful gift is always something that touches hearts and adds a lot of value to relationships. However, in addition to the relation, the gift also speaks volumes about the giver. It gives a message about the personality and focus of the giver, for example, a gift that is eco friendly or handmade would give a message of the sender being a socially conscious and forward thinking person who believes in preserving handicrafts, giving opportunities to handcrafts, taking efforts to preserve nature or our planet for the future generation.
If that’s the message you would like to give something made with natural materials like these clay mugs would make a perfect gift. https://nostalgiahomes.com/products/ceramic-brown-and-white-mug-gifting-mugs
These mugs are 100% Organic, Lead-Free and are wonderfully textured with a
double layer of underglaze. They are handcrafted with love with a real
leaf impression and sculpted by skilled potters that have spent years
perfecting their craft. These mugs would be a great way to start the day
for the recipient of your gift, and remember you and your message of being
environmentally conscious and closer to nature every morning as they sip
their cuppa.

The taste and preferences of the recipient
Now what’s the point of a gift that doesn’t make the recipient swell with
joy? So to bring that smile on your recipient’s face, look for something
that is of their taste, style and preference. For example, if someone is
home proud and loves to entertain guests, a cheese board or a cake stand,
or a decorative candle stand would make a perfect gift. If they love
flowers, you can send a bunch of blooms set in a stunning vase, like this
one in that is in a silver finish and curved to perfection.

The Occasion
An occasion appropriate gift is always well appreciated. In fact festive
gifting is a big deal in India and exchanging gifts during the festive
season is a tradition that helps build relationships. Of course birthdays,
weddings and other celebrations also make for perfect occasions to gift
something special to your loved ones and each occasion demands a different
attention to detail for the gift chosen. For example, for a festive gift,
something with sweets or dry fruits would be perfect. Something like this
gorgeous hand beaten gold and white tray could be sent with some mithai or
dry fruits to your loved ones and I am sure they would love it for it
would not just look very appealing, but also be used later as well. It can
be used as a serving tray, a trinket tray or a elegant centerpiece.

Budget
Budget is often the starting point of most gift selections. However, it shouldn’t be the only criteria since that takes away the joy from gifting. Sometimes, the same thought can be presented in different budgets. Like for example, instead of the highly decorative photo frame mentioned above, one can give the same personalized touch to a gift in a lesser budget by opting for this frame instead. https://nostalgiahomes.com/products/ornate-silver-photo-frame-with-dragonfly-embellishment
