Yet, holding a personal, thoughtful letter is a tangible reminder of someone’s love and friendship.
Write an assortment of letters for this budget-friendly personal gift and seal them in separate envelopes. You should label these letters with dates or events upon which the recipient should open them. You can include letters for special events, like birthdays and anniversaries, or bad days as a reminder that someone cares. Place these letters in a keepsake box for a gift that spans over the years.
A Zodiac Candle Set
Astrology is having a moment in pop culture, with many people relating to the fun, mysterious messages written in the stars. If the person on your list relates to their zodiac sign, you can give them customized zodiac gifts based on their birthday.
Zodiac candle sets typically include a personalized candle with a scent that’s meant to appeal to the unique star sign. They often come with insense and other trinkets as well.
If the recipient isn’t a candle person, you can also get zodiac lotions, perfumes, mugs, jewellery, and attire.
A Custom Oil Painting
Finally, wow the person on your list with a custom oil painting. You can partner with an artist for a commissioned piece of a treasured memory, favourite place, or even the recipient’s pet dressed up like royalty. This beautiful gift is sure to become a treasured possession and valued conversation piece.
With these five personal gift options, you’re guaranteed to amaze.
