How to find the perfect gift… for anyone

Just imagine – the sparkles in their eyes, the huge grin, the excitement and happiness. How would it be if you wouldn’t need to wonder ever again if someone will like the gift you bought for them?

Whether it’s for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or any other special moment in their lives – when you’re buying a gift for someone special, how to pick out the best one? Especially if the choices seem endless and you don’t even know where to start.

No worries, we’ve got you.

We love receiving gifts (who doesn’t, right?), so we decided to put together this guide to help you find the perfect gift… for anyone!

 

 

The biggest no-no when buying gifts

 

You know those coffee mugs or t-shirts with sayings “I didn’t know what to buy, so that’s all I got you for Christmas”?

They are pretty much as lame as they sound.

Such a gift will not only show that you’ve put as little energy as possible into buying it, but might also make your loved ones feel like you don’t know them at all or even don’t care.

And nobody wants that, do they?

 

The secret to finding a perfect gift lies in …

 

… one obvious thing we often overlook.

When buying gifts for our loved ones, we often focus on ourselves and buy something we love instead of buying something the person getting the gift will love.

For example, let’s say you want to buy a Christmas present for your husband or partner. Your first instinct would be something super obvious and possibly slightly romantic, right?

You might look for a Christmas sweater that would be perfect for a matching-outfit photoshoot, a delicious wine you’ll drink together on New Year’s Eve, or an expensive perfume you’d seen in the store the other day and you loved its smell.

Ladies, we understand – and these gifts are also lovely! But who are they really for? ????

 

Stop for a moment here and think about things from the perspective of your loved one.

 

It’s Christmas, there are gifts under the tree, and your man is excited like a little child, just waiting to open and see what you got for him.

A few things might be on his mind at that moment: Is it something for my favourite hobby? Is it the latest tech I was telling her about weeks ago? Is it anything that will make my life easier?

It’s no secret that men like useful gifts, and the secret to great gift buying is to know their biggest passions or interests.

 

 

Where to start your search for a perfect gift?

 

There’s a simple solution to that. Knowing what gift a person will love starts with thinking about what they enjoy doing, who they enjoy doing it with, and what things they use.

If a person is a handyman, they may love gifts that they’ll be able to use when they repair or do renovations around the house.

Technophiles will be thrilled when they’ll unwrap their gifts and find a shiny new gadget inside.

For example, let’s say a person loves camping or traveling with a motorhome.

They probably spend their free time exploring new places. You’ll hear them talking about their adventures and funny stories that happened on the road, improvements they did or want to do for their motorhome, the new accessories they got and what their future plans are.

Now that you know what they love doing, what would make a perfect gift?

A Christmas sweater, a bottle of whiskey or a ticket to opera? Probably not.

They would love to have something that would make their travels even better, that they would find fun or helpful or that would be a great addition to their motorhome.

And that’s basically all you need to know to brainstorm some ideas for great gifts. Don’t be surprised if after you get better at giving gifts people will love, you’ll also start receiving more gifts that you actually want. 

Also, there’s nothing wrong with buying a coffee mug or a gift card – but instead of the first mug you see in a store, think about what kind of mug would make them happy and they would find it helpful. If we revisit the camping example, in this case, an unbreakable enamel mug with a personalized camper-themed saying would make a thoughtful and useful gift.

And if you’re really in a hurry and consider buying a gift card, at least choose the one from their favourite outdoor shop.

 

What about the timing?

 

That’s an additional angle to consider if you want to buy the perfect gift.

Too often we postpone the shopping to the last minute, only to regret this afterward.

Running around the last day, wandering aimlessly around stores, looking at stuff and getting more and more nervous by the minute – we’ve all been there. The situation might get worse if we’re shopping for holiday gifts at the last moment only to realize, we’re too late and the ideal gift we had planned to buy has been sold out.

To avoid being too late, mark all the important dates, birthdays and holidays on your calendar and start thinking about the gifts early enough.

There’s no time like now!

 

You don’t like going to shopping centers?

 

Good news – it’s the 21^st century, you don’t need to!

After you’ve brainstormed some great ideas, there’s no need to fight the crowds at the shopping center. Besides, especially in the holiday season, there’s a high chance that you’ll either get stuck in traffic and by the time you’ll reach the mall, you won’t have the energy to brave the hordes too.

Instead, you can buy all the gifts from the comfort of your home with a few clicks and they will be at your doorstep in no time.

 

Senso4s products are available in several online stores across Europe.
