Did you know that The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built by King Nebuchadnezzar II as a gift for his wife Queen Amytis? Or, that The Orlov, also known as The Great Mughal Diamond, is a 189-carat diamond that was gifted to Russian Empress Catherine the Great by her lover Count Grigory Orlov? Gift giving has played a major part in people’s lives throughout history. The Taj Mahal and The Statue of Liberty are also proof of this.
Gifts build friendships, show the connection between people and are a way of showing love and devotion. Everyone, no matter their age, wants to receive gifts. But, sometimes choosing the right gift for the right person can be a challenge. Here is our list of gifts that won’t disappoint and will definitely not be returned.
An Alcohol Gift Basket
This is one of the trendiest gifts at the moment. It’s gaining popularity because of its universality. It can be a gift for anniversaries, birthdays, name days, graduations and every other occasion you can imagine. And the best thing is that an alcohol gift basket delivery can be made the same day. If you, by any chance, forget the occasion this can be your perfect last-minute choice.
Another great thing about them is the possibility of choosing which type of alcohol you want – beer, whiskey, red wine, white wine, gin, scotch and many more. You can add appetizers, sweets, candy, chocolate, toys, personalized cards, books, pendants and everything else you can imagine. Even when the celebration finishes, the receiver of the alcohol gift basket can continue using them. Drinking the beverage, eating the snacks, and even after that, they can use the basket for other purposes, such as storing makeup, clothes, food, tools and more.
When choosing an alcohol hamper, make sure you get something that the receiver loves, not something that you would like. Choose their favourite drink and sweets. Browse carefully because there are many sites and stores to buy from, decide what’s your budget and stick to it. And of course, before ordering check the delivery time. You don’t want your alcohol gift basket delivery to be late for the occasion, do you?
A Love Map
This gift can be truly personal and unique. It allows you to highlight a special location for you and your significant other. The day you met, your first kiss, your first vacation, the day you got engaged or married. Either one of these dates and locations is romantic. But these meaningful locations don’t have to necessarily be for your loved one. They can be a Mother’s Day present for your mum, a birthday present for your dad or a Christmas present for your friend.
It’s amazing how a small piece of paper can contain such value, sentimentality and emotion. Love maps are a great reminder of beautiful times and places that you’ll never want to forget. You can order these maps online, or even make it your own DIY project. Print the location on a map, write down the date, a special note, decorate it and frame it. We assure you, this is a gift that no one will ever forget or stop loving.
Name a Star
When we think of stars, we think of eternity, greatness and longevity. This reminds us of the love for our family, friend and partners. One reason to make this a gift is that stars often are symbols of romance. People around the world have been naming stars after their loved ones. It has become a huge trend that offers uniqueness in gifting.
When naming a star, you can choose from a specific constellation from your star sign. That way you can be sure that no one else is going to name the same start ever again, making it unique and personal. The person can even track the movement of their star online. This is a gift that can last for a lifetime, and every time you look at the night sky, you’ll remember that somewhere out there is a star with your name on it.
Supercar Driving Experience
This one is for the thrill-seekers and adrenalin addicted people. If you know someone like that in your life, this will be the best gift you can give them. Getting behind the wheel of a supercar and having the full experience is the coolest thing. It can be a once in a lifetime event, unlike anything they’ve done before.
Because there is so much horsepower under the hood of supercars, the exhilaration and the feeling of the open road will be irreplaceable. There will be a variety of supercars to choose from, McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porche, Formula, BMW, Ford Mustang, Jaguar etc. There is something for everyone. Just make sure that the gist receiver has a full driver’s license.
Song Sound Wave
Do you and your friend have a favourite jam you can’t stop dancing to? Do your parents still dance the same way as they did on their wedding day to their love song? If that’s the case, we have the perfect gift idea and it’s called song sound wave painting.
These song sound wave paintings are the ultimate gift for music lovers. They are unique personalized art prints that feature the person’s favourite song in the form of visual soundwaves. Having something like this in the house can remind people of their special memories and unforgettable emotions.
Customized Jewelry
Custom jewellery will let you express your love in a memorable way to your partner, friend or family member. It shows you’re devoted to the relationship with them and that you care. You also make sure the person gets a unique piece of jewellery that no one else will have. Relating an object to a special memory will only make the gift even dearer and greatly appreciated.
You can engrave many things on jewellery to make it unique. Things like meaningful phrases or abbreviations for our loved ones, symbols such as a heart, eternity symbol or a zodiac sign. Numbers and dates that are important such as birthdays and wedding days, can also give a sentimental value. And of course, names. It can be a name or a special nickname that you and the person have for each other. This is a gift you can’t go wrong with. It will have history and a good story to tell.
Pet Portrait
We love to see pets grow and learn, share many days and happy memories with them. We bet that you know at least one person that has a pet in their life and treats it as part of the family. A pet portrait will help them preserve long-lasting memories of fun times like walking in the park, giving them a bath or playing with their favourite toy. It can capture the personality and mood of the pet. Plus, it makes a great art décor piece. By putting it in a suitable frame, it can be a real showstopper for guests and a great conversation starter.
