When was the last time you just knew what would be the correct gift to choose for someone you care for, or even someone you are on the most formal terms? Somehow the art of gifting is getting lost, partly because the whole process has got commercialized. After all, if you give someone a nosegay of handpicked blooms from your garden, the chances are that person will think “cheapskate” rather than appreciate your efforts. The fashion for home made gifts is passé. Few people would realize that it is the thought, effort, and time which is the real gift - not the end product.
One of a Kind Gifts Automatically Become Memorable
You want your gifts to be one of a kind, so that the recipient remembers you for all the right reasons. You should look for premium gifts in Singapore to get an idea of what would be most appropriate. There is a fine line which should not be overstepped when giving anyone presents. It is defined by the occasion, the relationship with the recipient, and the setting. For example, you might be able to afford a Kindle or a top of the line camera. Giving it to a colleague whom you barely know as a birthday gift, at a baby shower, or a going away gift would raise eyebrows. High quality leather jackets, or luggage pieces might be politically incorrect in certain settings, but your spouse would probably love if it is the correct color and size.
Match it to the occasion: Engraved jewelry, golden topaz bracelets, marble bric a brac, limited edition watches, and crystal ware should be reserved for only people you are very close to like spouse, siblings, parents, best friend, or girlfriend/boyfriend. That too, these should be presented only at coming of age birthday, silver or golden anniversaries, and similar extra special occasions like achieving major professional milestones.
Make Your Gifts Keepsakes
When choosing wedding gifts in Singapore, you could opt for personalized glassware, such as champagne flutes, for the wedding party; photo frames and memento photo albums to enhance the sentimental mood; whacky clocks or cuckoo clocks; electronic cameras; and fine cutlery. Silk ties, satin gowns, fur-lined coats, and fancy stoles can also be considered depending on the climate of the place where the bridal couple will live, and what is your own relationship with them. You can gift expensive perfumes or makeup items as long as you are certain of what the recipient’s preferences are. If you want to be practical, remember nobody can have too many crockery or lemonade sets; coasters, and coffee mugs.
