Alternative Gifts for Your Loved Ones
Sure, life may be a little different for many of us at the moment, with people across the world isolating for the sake of reducing the spread of coronavirus and the pressure that it’s placing on our healthcare systems. But life is still going ahead, even if we are confined to our own homes. There are still birthdays and other occasions to celebrate and, even though we may not be able to meet up with our loved ones on a face to face basis, we can gift them by having goods delivered to them directly. Here are a few suggestions of alternative gifts for alternative times!
Subscriptions
The subscription gift service has skyrocketed over the past few years. This is a gift that really does keep giving! Your loved ones will have a new edition or version of whatever you opt for through the post on a regular basis throughout the year. There are all sorts of options out there, so there’s bound to be something that will suit your loved one, whatever their interests or preferences. The most traditional subscription is a magazine subscription. But you can get anything from book subscription packages to flower subscriptions, tea subscriptions and more! Now, when you take out a subscription of any sort, you will generally be able to pay in one of two ways: you can pay outright in full or you can pay on a monthly basis throughout the year. When it comes to gifting a subscription, it’s generally best to pay for it outright as you would with any other gift. This ensures that it is guaranteed, regardless of whether your financial situation changes in the future.
A Custom Image
It’s time to get creative! So why not consider a creative and highly personal gift? You could have a custom image commissioned and created by a talented artist like Roule Auluthier. Just give the artist an image to work from and your loved one could receive a stunning oil painting through the post on time for their celebration. This is a gift that will truly touch the heart!
Treats and Snacks
Few of us can really get out to keep on top of our snack supply. Sure, we can head out to do our food shopping. But the majority of us try to keep this as infrequent as possible in order to reduce the amount of time we’re spending out in stores. Treats and snack supplies can be eaten up pretty quickly, leaving a big gap until the next big food shop. So, if there’s a special occasion, why not have some treats and snacks delivered to your loved one. Many bakeries are offering delivery, as well as sweet stores. Pick out your loved ones’ favourites and place an order!
These are just a few options that you may be able to engage with. Sure, time’s are different now. But it’s important to still celebrate the positive and good things in life! Hopefully the information above has given you some great gift ideas!
