It’s that time of the year, again. Is it just in your head, or is everyone getting married?
Yes, you like weddings, (or hate them!). Nevertheless, you’re expected to show up with a gift, a good, sensible one on that. Gone are the days when you could just take a bouquet and play safe. Or present that envelope full of cash and be called ‘outdated’. Now are the times to gift stuff, which is both useful, surprising, and still be AFFORDABLE.
Your friend’s birthday this weekend, and guess what? The expectations of a surprise from you is really high (yes, you forgot her b’day last year!). But somehow the conventional gift stores have run out of options and you are just not a greeting card or a soft toy person. Confused? Should be!
You cancelled your dinner date again? All the work and deadlines, but would she understand it if you tell her that? Don’t even try. Show up with a surprise, gift her a smile.
All these and many more scenarios you face, say, every day. Thank God for the concept of gifting. But are there enough places to shop from? The answer is, No, or may be, Yes. Not the typical pink colored gift shop in the next door market area, neither the shockingly expensive glass stores. Open up your laptop, and explore
Online gift stores have come up as a new age trend with offers and options largely varied and highly pleasing. Not just the specialized gift stores but also other e-stores with abundance of options right from clothes to shoes to books to gadgets provide you with an angle of gifting them to someone. Just fill in the receiver’s address and see your order delivered beautifully wrapped.
The best thing coming to surface in all of this- good value for money. How nice a fling would be to see a smile on your wife’s face without creating a hole in your pocket!
Bygone are the times when you would gift a show piece to be kept on the shelf, which would later be used as a paper weight, or a tea set, which definitely come back to you after traversing the ‘gifting-forward’ loop. Try the new age gifts. From pens to wallets to ties, they are classy and any day make more sense. Why not go for a lapel pin, or a hip flask?
Present a surprise, would earn you, respect, love and a FAN CLUB!!!
