How to Choose a Thoughtful or Meaningful Gift
Choosing a thoughtful or meaningful gift for friends and family is not about spending a lot of money, it is about showing that you understand the person and care enough to make them feel seen and appreciated. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to buy gifts that feel personal, meaningful, and memorable.
Know everything about the recipient. What are their interests, hobbies, and lifestyles? This will direct you to a specific gift category. For example, scented candles make a great present for someone who likes home decor, relaxation, aromatherapy, luxury and indulgence. A great gift suggestion would be our Spa Day Candle. It is a neutral home fragrance that everyone loves.
Decide on gift type. Now that you know everything about the recipient, you can now choose a gift. We suggest a practical one since it is something someone can use daily. We believe our Cozy Heart Socks are the perfect essential for everyday wear. They are soft, cozy, and stylish.
Make it personal. There are several ways to make a gift special. Search for something with the recipient’s initials, include a handwritten note on why you chose a specific gift, or select a gift with emotional sentiment. We believe our Emerald Pearl Charm Bracelet is an ideal option, since it symbolizes love, loyalty, and new beginnings.
Think about timing and presentation. The way you wrap a gift can add value. It does not have to be fancy, just enough to show you care. A wrapped gift builds suspense, curiosity, and joy before the recipient even sees what is inside. One of our best-selling gifts is our Square Diamond Pendant Necklace. It is packaged with our beautiful brand logo card and white gift box.
Choose quality over quantity. One memorable gift far outweighs multiple generic gifts. We prefer artisan gifts that are less likely to be sold mainstream. They have distinctive benefits that go far beyond ordinary store-bought gifts. Our Lavender Scented Sachet is one of those unique gifts that no one forgets. It is a beautiful way to freshen small spaces, dresser drawers, and your car.
Plan experiences you can share together. People often value experiences over possessions. Plan a budget-friendly day trip, go to a seasonal event, schedule a spa day for the two of you, purchase tickets to your favorite concert, or schedule a cooking class. These are great ways to share an experience together. Our Adventures Travel Journal is the perfect way to share a fun road trip planned with an itinerary.
Use a trusted gift brand. Trusted brands (Kriya Veda) tend to have consistent quality, so the gift is less likely to disappoint. And if something goes wrong, reputable brands usually offer easier returns or replacements.
