A gift says much about the giver and the giver’s thoughts about the recipient, which is why so many people dread the holidays. Every family has that one person whose gifts are always terrible. So terrible, that even thinking about it is enough to cause a panic attack induced by Doronophobia (the fear of receiving gifts). The only thing that causes more anxiety than knowing this person is being this person, which is why we’ve created this fool-proof guide to avoiding terrible gifts.
Step 1: Choose a category
This step is the hardest in the process because it tests how well you know the recipient (known henceforth as the Sword of Damocles or SD for short).
Think back to any conversations you’ve had where SD has expressed an interest, or grown animated about a subject. If, for example, they love music, pick up something innovative related to the industry like floating mini-speakers. If they enjoy the occasional cigarette then a classic lighter wouldn’t go amiss.
If you’re not that observant choose a safe category:
Most people are spending more time at home right now and anything that can add value to their home office will be welcomed. Gift them with a mousepad that can charge a phone or a journal with an inbuilt power bank that can function as a wallet, phone charger, penholder, phone stand and external storage device.
Premium fine writing instruments are an excellent choice because it’s easy to find one that is age-and-gender neutral. Choose one from an iconic brand’s special edition collection to make sure your gift is a valued one that will be passed down through generations.
Journals are another great gifting option because in addition to their most obvious function, they are excellent tools of self-care and their use is encouraged by mental-health experts to help deal with trauma, stress, depression and other issues.
One of the best gifts in this category is the Quikrite because there really is never a bad time to gift a system that boosts productivity and enhances creativity.
Wallets are another safe option. This category is often underestimated; there have been tremendous advances in wallet tech over the past few years. There are now traditional RFID-safe leather wallets, cardprotectors that slide your cards out with a single simple motion, wallets that are crafted with a microfibre designed to replace leather and much more. Though traditionally associated with men, you’ll find many gorgeous options for women.
Step 2: Personalising the gift
A gift should make the recipient feel special (watch video). The best way to do this is to make sure the gift is all about them. By having their name engraved, you can elevate even the most generic gift into something exclusive and meaningful to them.
A gift can be personalised in many different ways like embossing, debossing, laser engraving etc. It is important to select the appropriate method based on the material of the gift. Placement, style and precision are also key elements to consider to ensure that the personalisation compliments the beauty of the gift, which is why it is crucial to have it done by experts like William Penn. We only use brand-approved facilities to ensure the work done is of the highest standards.
As experts in gifting and in personalisation, we at William Penn have an incredible array of classy gifting options. Choose one using our handy guide and go forth knowing that even the pickiest Sword of Damocles will swing in your favour.
We pride ourselves on our ability to help our discerning customers find the perfect gift so please WhatsApp one of our gifting experts with any questions you may have.
