Gifts You Can Send While Socially Distanced
Although the end is in sight, many of us are still restricted by the social distancing rule which has come into play in so many countries across the world. It may not be ideal, but it is there for a reason, so it’s time to start finding our way back to normality even with the rules in place. One of the huge changes the pandemic has brought to our lives is the limitation on gatherings at events or occasions that we would normally celebrate together. Occasions such as birthdays, weddings, baby showers and more, we are so used to celebrating in the company of our friends and family. This is no longer possible, but this doesn’t have to completely destroy our excitement at these times. There are ways we can still connect with loved ones, and a big part of this is through the gifts we give. Indeed, gifts aren’t everything when it comes to family gatherings and special events, but they sure are nice to get! Especially now that a thoughtful gift could make all the difference in someone day. Finding a gift that you can send without actually coming in contact with the receiver or store members has become quite a task. We don’t want you spending days looking for a gift that is thoughtful, in budget and safe to give to your loved one. That is exactly this post is going to skip that step for you and give you some ideas on what to look for.
The quickest and by far easiest gift you can send someone without contact is a gift card. You can now send a gift card from pretty much any of your favourite stores. This doesn’t have to be through the post or letterbox either! You can send a gift card instantly via text message or email, using Gifts Vouchers.
They have a huge range of gift cards from well-known brands and stores you currently cannot visit in person. If you’re shopping for someone who loves their self-care, grab a gift card for The Body Shop or even a spa break voucher! Or maybe they are more of a Harvey Nichols type of person? The choice is completely yours. You might be thinking that the person you’re buying for is a little bit more difficult than these options, but you haven’t seen it all yet! For that person who you think has everything they could possibly need, buy a voucher for an experience day. You can have all the gifts in the world, but experiences are priceless! You can also choose the amount the gift card is worth, so it doesn’t have to break your bank to be thoughtful.
One amazing gift idea that often doesn’t get a thought is a subscription box. You can find subscription boxes for so many different things, so whoever you are buying for I bet there is one to suit them. One of my favourite types of subscription box is the monthly gin/wine boxes. Every single month they will get delivered a selection of gorgeous wines or gins they probably haven’t tried. You can easily pay for a subscription amount of 3 months, 6 months and so on. This means that you have a choice over how much money you spend on this too, even with it being a subscription. Another very popular choice for subscription boxes is beauty boxes. Beauty boxes like Glossy Box are an amazing gift and can really put a smile on someone’s face at the time they need it most. Beauty boxes are often not too expensive and usually contain items worth more than the cost of the subscription box itself. They are a fabulous idea for a gift that they won’t have received before.
This last suggestion is one that probably will have crossed your mind, but you’ve looked past it in search of something more meaningful. This is where I tell you how wrong you are! Simple gifts such as a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a box of cupcakes are so effective. There is a reason flowers are so popular on occasions! They will brighten up a home and definitely bring joy to whoever’s receiving them. And if you know their favourite type of flowers, even better! But if you know your loved one really does not like flowers, cupcakes are a winner in any situation. This is also a great way to support local businesses, as I can bet there are tonnes of small bakeries or freelance bakers that would appreciate your purchase a lot more than a big retailer would. They often have a knack for personal touch as well, so these cupcakes are going to look and taste stunning! There really isn’t a problem that cupcakes cannot fix.
