Up your game, roll out the red carpet and show that special someone just how amazing they are. The gift giving can be just as much fun as the gift receiving. Why not have fun creating the perfect gift and most definitely a gift a to remember! Check out our 5 top tips for making birthdays as special as you can.......
1. Make it personal
Don't give a generic, this could be for anyone gift. Make it special by making it personal. It's so easy to grab something off the shelf, but what's special about something off the shelf, something that everyone has already has and most importantly something that has taken no thought at all? Choose a gift that is personal to the recipient, add a special touch which says this gift is just for you. Say I've thought about it and made sure you'll love it. Do this by adding the recipient's name, a special message or include a photo that says this is just for you, include an 'in joke', specific age, a funny photo or just something which shows your love and thought and most importantly says this gift is for you and only you.
2. Think of their favourite things and include them
Does your receipt have a favourite colour, style, tipple, lollies or treat? Using a gift shop such as the amazing Custom Hampers gives you the opportunity to make changes and never be generic! At Custom Hampers each gift is lovingly put together, there is no mass production here! This means we have the freedom to make changes to make your gift perfect. Make the most of the opportunities throughout the ordering process to choose colours and add personal messages. Use the 'Message to Maker' function at checkout to tell us any alterations and preferences you would like us to make - for example our gift hampers come with a signature red ribbon, if your Dad cant stand the colour red and his favourite is blue, let us know and we will swop it out if possible. If your recipient has a favourite tipple, lolly or treat use the 'Custom Create Hamper' and let us try source it and include all those favourites to make it perfect!
3. Send a beautiful keepsake card to mark the occasion
Mark the special birthday with a unique card. Cards can be a great keepsake. Chose a card they will love and add your special message, tell them how much they mean to you and add a touch of personality. At Custom Hampers we have so many choices for the creation of your card, chose one of our crude and rude or sweet and sentimental cards, upload a photo or write a special message. Take a photo of a drawing the kids have done or upload a funny snap from the good old days - the only limit is your own imagination! Make sure your card doesn't end up in the recycling and is put away to be enjoyed again and again by making it as individual as you and your recipient are.
4. Spoil the birthday person with promises and unforgettable memories!
Does your mum ever say I don't need presents for my birthday I just want a day of no fighting.....or is that just my mum! Growing up (and still to this day) we can never get a straight answer out of her, she will always say 'all I want for my birthday is peace and quiet'.... and its really annoying!! Why not use the coupons which are an optional add on to our cards to give those promises and create unforgettable memories! You can choose up to 4 and all you have to do is add your voucher/coupons to your personalisation section when you select your card. They can be as simple or extravagant as you like from: This coupon entitles the recipient to.....1 day of peace and quiet; No dishes for a week; A hand and foot massage; Your favourite movie. Or you may want to go bigger: This voucher entitles the recipient to..... A day at Seaworld; Gold Class at the Movies; A Holiday!; A shopping spree.
5. Remember it is definitely the thought that counts
Your recipient doesn't want you to go without food for a week because you've spent all your money on their gift! Pick a budget and stick to it, there is no need to go overboard or go broke! The thought and consideration will always mean more than the price tag!! Think about the person the gift is for, think about what they like and their personality. Avoid picking things off the shelf and giving the same old gift they may already have, the most important thing is that you think about, its the thought that counts. Make it personal, make it unique and make it memorable. At Custom Hampers we are here to help, browse the site and let us spark your imagination. If you need help or guidance get in touch, use the live chat or drop us an email and lets us bounce ideas off each other, I'm sure we can help and find the perfect gift within your budget together.
Happy shopping!
