The Art of Gift Giving
One aspect often overlooked in gift giving is the act itself. While it’s important to find the perfect gift, it’s also important to make the act of gift giving a special memory in and of itself. After all, the anticipation of a beautifully wrapped present can be as memorable as the present itself — perhaps even more so!
Here are a few ideas to make your gifts a little more special this year.
1. An Unexpected Gift
One of the best things you can do for someone is give them a gift just for the sake of it. No holiday, no birthday, no special occasion. Be sure to wrap up the gift properly with wrap and a bow to make it extra special. There’s nothing quite as exciting to come home from a long day of work to find a present waiting for you.
2. The Gift of a Clean Home
A great way to show your love and appreciation is to clean your home before giving a gift as well. When you loved one walks in to the fresh, beautiful smell of a scented candle in a freshly scrubbed home, they’ll immediately feel uplifted and relaxed. It will set the perfect mood for a dinner together and a lovely gift afterwards.
3. Scavenger Hunt
If you really want to go above and beyond, setting up a fun little scavenger hunt for the gift recipient is sure to leave a lasting memory. You can hide the gift and leave a trail of notes for your loved one to follow. The perfect gift giving opportunity for the more creatively minded.
4. A Gift of Surprise
Another fun way to show your love is to hide gifts where the recipient is sure to find them — in their work bag, on their pillow, or in the car. You can also wait for a day you know will be more stressful for them, so it can start them off in an uplifted mood.
A scented candle such as our Rosemary & Bay Leaf is the perfect de-stressor for a busy day at work.
5. Give the Gift of Scent
