Gifts
By Saima Tabassum
THE BEST WAY TO EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS
Gift’s reflect your love, sincerity, choice and how much you know about your loved ones and their likes and dislikes. We give gifts to our loved ones on different occasion to express our feelings and to assure them that they are very close to our hearts. If a person gives a gift to his friend which does not interest him he will not feel happy with the gift. But if a person gives a gift keeping an eye on the receiver’s nature and interests then his gift will be really appreciated. Gifts are given on different occasion like eid, birthdays, New Year, and Friendship Day, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s and Father’s Day, etc. While giving a gift to someone, we must focus on the occasion as well as the other person’s likes and dislikes. If you are not sure about this then you can give a gift according to their nature. Here is a guideline to help you select gifts according to the receiver’s nature.
For sensitive hearts
If your friends, parents, siblings, teachers are sensitive in nature, give them flowers as a gift. Flowers are the best way to express your feelings. Sensitive people have the ability to understand the language of flowers. The flower will say all that you have probably never expressed. They observe your immeasurable love and purity by the delicate and beautiful flowers. Giving the right flower to your sweetheart is very important; roses are the best to gift to someone: red roses are given on Valentine’s Day, white and yellow roses are given on Mother’s day and Father’s Day, while pink roses are given on Friendship Day.
For romantic’s
People who are romantic in nature are very sensitive and conscious about the gifts presented to them. They try gauging your feelings by the present you give them. If you want to give a gift to a girl, give her delicious chocolates packed in a beautiful box, cutie tutee, soft toys, rings and jewellery. If you are giving a present to a boy, give him perfumes, wrist watches, T-shirts, cuff-links, key chains and chocolates. It is a misconception that soft toys and chocolates are given only to girls; these can be given to boys as well. Wrap the gifts with colourful gift papers and ribbons. This shows how much hard work you have put in and how close they are to you.
For bookworms
If you want to give a gift to those who like books, give them book or a precious pen. Such people often like books or pens as a gift and feel very happy when someone gives them such a gift. If you are giving a gift to your father/mother/grandparents give them a marvellous literary piece. But if you are buying for a teenager, give him a novel which contains elements of suspense and adventure. If you are giving a book to your teacher select a book related to his/her subject written by any eminent scholar. If it is meant for a younger person select a book of fairy tales. If you feel any difficulty in selecting a book you can take help from your elders.
For artistic minds
We often find many artistic minds around us. These people are mainly fascinated by beautiful paintings or sceneries made by any well-known artist. Other thing which inspires them is beautiful frames on which some quotes or verses are inscribed. Moreover, unique and delicate decoration pieces also catch their attention.
Music lovers
If your sweetheart is a music lover, give him/her the CD of the latest album of their favourite singer; you can also give him/her a CD of the kind of music he/she likes. If you are giving a CD to your parents and grandparents give them a CD of ghazals of Nayyara Noor, Fareeda Khanum, Kishore Kumar etc.
Game addicts
Commonly boys are keener about playing games and sports as compared to girls. Especially teenage boys greatly like playing games. If you want to give a gift to a teenage boy give him bats, hard ball, foot ball, PlayStation, Sega games, or a CD of various games. Most popular games among boys are Contra, Mario, Midtown madness, etc.
Presentation
The presentation of a gift touches the heart deeper than the gift itself. Your gift speaks your heart and expresses your inner-most feelings for your sweetheart. And when you have put in so much love and care in selecting your gift then why not give it a colourful gift-wrap and complete the look.
Keeping this in mind, here are some gift-wrapping ideas and tips so that you can present your loved ones a beautifully wrapped, safe and intact gift. So this time when you buy a gift for your loved ones, then surprise them with a beautifully wrapped gift with a pretty card. Just read these tips and make your gift look attractive and romantic.
The gift box
Make a simple gift box out of a corrugated cardboard of a nice attractive colour. Now cut a flower, star or a heart out of a similar looking or matching card and punch a hole through the box and use it as a gift tag. So you have a complete package ready in minutes.
Gift bags
Give your gift a romantic feel by placing it in bags. Just take a bag and put some colourful thermocol pieces in it. Then put some dry rose petals or you can go for some artificial flowers as well. Now just tie a ribbon and fasten the mouth of your gift bag. Your perfect present is ready.
Match the wrap to the gift
When selecting a gift-wrap, match it with your gift. For example, when you wish to give a dress or a shirt, wrap it in a hand-made paper gift-wrap of a similar colour so that it enhances the look. If you are going for a delicate piece of jewellery then gift-wrap it in a silver paper or a transparent sheet with small hearts drawn on it.
Add-ons for gifts
When going for that perfect look for your gift put some small add-ons like miniature ornaments, bows, little hearts or even tiny teddies. They not only enhance the presentation of your gift but will give your individual touch to it.
Tissue gift-wrap
Just dress up your gift with a mix and match of coloured tissue gift-wrap and see the smile on the recipient’s face as the gift rustles open. Make sure that the tissues are fresh and crisp.
So this time when you go and buy your gift select a beautiful gift-wrap and present your sweetheart with a gift that will be remembered for a lifetime.
