Who hasn’t been there? Your friend or family member has a birthday coming up and they have everything. As you struggle with finding the perfect gift, remember the key is knowing what your recipient likes and dislikes. A gift tailored to their specific interests is sure to be a big hit. Birthdays only come around once a year, but when they do, you want to make your recipient feel special by giving them something that you know will make them smile and that they will actually use. Here are some unique ideas to get you started on the right track.
1) Themed Gifts - Look to the birthday boy or girl’s hobbies for inspiration. If she is a gardener, a plant or garden sculpture would be spectacular. If he loves fishing, consider buying him some lures, tackle or new fishing rod. Everyone has hobbies. Of course, some are more obvious than others, but with a little imagination, you can find a gift tailored to his or her hobby. And if you want to go the really easy route, you can always get a themed gift basket online and have it shipped directly to them for a great birthday surprise.
2) Magazine Subscriptions - With hundreds of magazines to choose from, you can certainly find one that your recipient will be interested in. Magazine subscriptions are great because your friend will remember how thoughtful you were every time they get their monthly magazine. If they like golf, try Golf Digest. For the adventurous, try a travel magazine like Conde Nast or Travel & Leisure. For the crafty one in the family, perhaps a subscription to Martha Stewart Living magazine would do the trick. Peruse your local newsstand to see what magazines are available these days.
3) I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like cake on their birthday so how about an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, Cold Stone Creamery or Maggie Moos. With a little planning, any of the ice cream shops will personalize the cake with your recipients name and you can even choose colors or themes for the cake. Of course if you aren’t nearby to hand deliver it yourself, you can try one of the many online bakeries that will send cakes overnight air to your recipient.
4) Beverage gifts are great consumable gifts that will certainly get used. Whether your recipient like coffee, tea, beer or wine, you have several gift options. You could buy an exotic beer or expensive bottle of wine, top it with a bow and call it good. Alternatively, many gift basket companies offer baskets for the coffee, tea, beer or wine lover. Many times you can choose the beverage flavors included in the gift basket or gift set. These companies also offer monthly clubs whereby your recipient receives a different flavor of his or her favorite beverage each month. Like a magazine subscription, they will remember your thoughtfulness each time they get a gift.
