Gifts are one of the best forms of expressing our feelings towards others. It is better to express in the form of a gift as the second person might not be able to understand the feelings hidden in our heart all the times. Hardly no one dislikes gifts. However, proper care need to be taken while selecting gifts. Various factors like age, sex, habits, hobbies, colors, attitude, profession, likes and dislikes of the gift receiver should be kept in mind before selecting the gift. Below are my ideas about perfect gifting. I would love to receive yours too.........
For Kids:
In my view, children in the age group of just born to 6 years can be considered kids. Because that's the stage where they are very innocent, questions everything and accepts what their parents say. Many occasions like naming the infant, first rice eating ceremony, ear piercing, birthdays etc., are celebrated with pomp and joy in India. Depending on the age of the infant and occasion, lots of gift options are available to us. In this way kids are very lucky because elders don't have so many :-)
- Infant kits are available from various brands which contains soap, body wash, oils, diapers, soft tissues etc. in various price options. Next time you are going to visit a newly born baby, don't forget to carry one and gift it to the baby. They mean a lot to baby as well as to the new mom!!
- At the baby's naming ceremony or first feeding ceremony, many guests usually opt for dresses and toys to the baby. They perfectly suit the occasion and while selecting toys, take care that they are non hazardous to the baby. Many rattling toys and infant toys are available. take the help of online stores if you want to be more selective. Opt for branded toys as they promise non-poisonous colors and materials in their making.
- If the baby's family is very close to you and you wish to spend more on gifting, opt for gold or cash for gifting. If you can gift really more you can even plan a fixed deposit on baby's name.
- While planning for a first birthday's gift, opt for a walker or rocking horses and am sure kids will have lot of fun with them. Browse on the net to select from lots of available options on many online stores.
- Dresses and toys are never a disappointing gifts to children, but while selecting a dress, check with the baby's parent about size and color because kids dresses are damn costly. There is nothing wrong with it and later no need to repent if the size doesn't fit or color is not liked by the kid.
For Children:
Children in the age of 6-12 years loves experimenting on various hobbies like drawing, playing music, riding cycle, painting,various outdoor and indoor games, reading cartoons or science books or whatever is their area of interest. Find out from their parents and select a gift accordingly. Trust me, they'll love you like anything !!!
For girls, barbies, make up kits (designed for children are available), dressing accessories like sandals, goggles, hair bands, bangles, watches etc., suits well too.
Don't gift something which is not suggested for children like a video game, a mobile or something which doesn't suit their age or something they might get hooked up to. Let them have enough physical activity and take a breathe of fresh air outside.
For Teenagers:
As everyone says, it is hard to understand a teenager's mind. It may be tough, but not impossible. If we maintain rapport with them and try to enter their shoes, understanding them is not a big deal. This is the age which can make or break one's life. Guidance is very important to them, though they think they need one.
Any influential autobiography for a book worm or a gift suiting their hobbies or dreams will perfectly do the need. If you want to gift them really memorable, give them a gift coupon which allows them to hang out with their friends, they will really enjoy it because friends mean a lot to them at that age.
For Men:
If you are planning a gift to your boyfriend, go for greeting cards, key chains, bags, t-shirts with captions, goggles, neck and wrist chains etc... The ideas are left to you depending on his likes and interests.
Wallets, shoes, ties, watches, perfumes, deos suits well when you are searching gifts for your husband. Suits, blazers, any branded wear will do if you have a high budget. If you wish to give romantically, ideas are unlimited but a refreshing massage in a spa, a candle light dinner at a beach or restaurant are just a few. If your husband is a fitness freak, gift him a pair of dumbell or any exercise equipment, if budget permits
If a cricket match or any sport is scheduled on tv on his birthday or your marriage day or any day you wanted to celebrate, just hand over the tv remote to his hand and don't disturb him till he finishes watching it. Just watch the spark in his eyes. No gift can ever bring that, i bet!!
For Women:
The world is not enough!!!! You read it right, the world is not enough. You gift a lady and she wants more because ladies are always big hearted ;-)
Dresses, sarees, a pair of jeans, t-shirts, long skirts, tops and all models on earth in ladies fashion ... select which she loves a lot. Hobby oriented gifts like books, plants, pets, painting kits will do better. Makeup kits, dressing accessories like handbags, bangles, watches,goggles, anklets, rings,footwear etc, are evergreen gifting ideas. Roses, perfumes,chocolates are always loved by ladies.
If you are a romantic husband planning to surprise your wife, book an appointment in a spa or gift her an excellent beauty parlor service or plan a romantic trip without informing her to celebrate her day. She will cherish it forever!!! Gold, platinum and diamonds are always precious gifts.You can also opt to buy her a fitness equipment if she is a fitness freak. Buy some kitchen equipment which makes her tasks easier. If she is a career icon, gift her some course which improves her career.
A no cost but tough to do tip for husbands: give your wife rest for that complete day and do all household tasks like cooking (don't order from hotel, cook on your own) and taking care of kids at home and maintain house for that single day. That's enough man to make her feel a queen!!
Elders:
This is the age where people don't opt for physical gifts, so better gift them by understanding their needs. Plan for a complete health check up or take them on a tour they had been longing for or plan a get together at home informing all relatives (they will feel really happy). Gift them books on their interests or join them in any hobby club or yoga center. If they are missing their children and grand children, plan so that they spend a day or two with them, because relationships are forever!!!!
