Personalised gifts are often the best. It not only shows the recipient how much you love them but also conveys how grateful and happy you are to have them in your lives. These are some unconventional gifts to show that special someone just how one of a kind they are.
- DIY Picture Night Light
This do-it-yourself night light is simple to make and a good gift for significant others, parents and grandparents. Take an empty glass bottle and paste small pictures of you and your loved ones inside. Then, place some fairy lights inside to illuminate the pictures so when they see it, they know they light up your life too.
- Embroider an Apron
Cooking is a love language on its own. Why not give the chef in your life who nourishes you with their food a practical and pretty gift? You can choose to embroider something as simple as their nickname or a more complex pattern like their favourite flower.
- Resin Coasters
Resin is a fun medium to work with because the colour combinations are endless. You can use all their favourite colours in it to create an abstract piece of art that will protect their precious furniture from watermarks. Thus, whenever they sip from the coffee mug you bought them last Christmas, they will be reminded of your thoughtfulness.
- Bond Touch Bracelets
Human touch and connection is something we all need and crave, especially during the pandemic when you are separated from some of your loved ones. Bond Touch bracelets look like Fitbits but are a great way to let someone know you are thinking about them because the other person’s bracelet lights up when you touch it. This is a sweet, non-disruptive and non-verbal way to keep in touch every day.
- Custom pillows
Missing someone deeply but unable to be with them in person? Custom pillows are the way to go. Decide on whether you want a life size pillow of you on it or perhaps something smaller like your face or that of a beloved family pet.
Whichever gift you decide to get, the most important part of a present is the thought that went into it. The perfect gift is an opportunity to show your loved ones that you know them inside and out and that you love them for everything and more.
