If you’re keen on giving gifts to your friends and family
members then you’ve probably heard of the saying “it’s the thought that counts”.
However, most people will completely misinterpret this old piece of advice and
often ignore it. But in this article, we’re going to revive that old saying by
showing you how you can take a very simple gift, homemade or not, and turn it
into a spectacular gift experience by ensuring that delivery is absolutely
perfect.
Quality matters when it’s a simple gift
If you want to gift something simple then the quality is
going to matter a lot. For instance, if you’re baking something simple like cookies
or brownies as a small gift, then you want to use the best ingredients
possible. The fact is that simple baked goods are fast and easy to make because
they only contain a few ingredients and the process is simple. So in order to
make it stand out, you shouldn’t just dress it in lots of toppings and extras
to hide the gift, but instead, you should use high-quality ingredients and take
extra care when making it. This will make it taste much better and the results
will show that you put in the effort.
If it’s something inedible like a bouquet of flowers, then
you want the very best collections that are unique to the season. To make this
simpler, you can check this guide here for special dates that are perfect for high-quality
flowers that make unique gifts. In short, you should always look at the quality
of your gift and take extra care to ensure it’s perfect if it’s something
simple.
Make the delivery perfect
Buying your recipient a gift online and asking the store to
present it in a gift wrap is far less exciting than doing it yourself and
delivering it in person. The delivery of your gift is going to make a huge
different to how special it is, so here are a few key rules to follow:
- Always add a handwritten message to your gifts to your
recipients.
- If there’s space, add the written message to a greeting card,
preferably one that you made yourself, to keep as a memento.
- Deliver it in person if possible and always try to do it on
the date of the occasion.
- Gift wrap the present to make it more presentable, even if
you’re not good at doing it.
- Give the recipient a little gift speech, such as telling
them how much they’ve helped you or how much they mean to you.
- Don’t make a big deal out of it, such as leaving them hints
or building up their curiosity because you could accidentally raise their expectations
and ultimately fail to impress them.
- Try not to gift something then walk away or leave. Instead,
make your time part of the gift and spend a little while with your recipient.
With these tips, you should find it much easier to deliver
the perfect gift to your recipient no matter how simple it may seem on the
inside. Remember that gifting is about more than just the item you’re giving;
it’s about the entire experience as a whole.
