What to Buy: Smart Gifts For 5 Occasion

March 14, 2015 by Lisa Paden

There’s nothing more impressive than a happy gift recipient. Below are five occasions and gifting options to help make your gift-giving easier, and we can help you with all five!

New Baby

Babies are such a joy and purchasing the right gift can be fairly easy because you could end up buying everything you see!  Below are a few items that make great gifts for the new little bundle of joy.

  • Baby time capsule
  • Layettes or outfit
  • Blankets with matching receiving blankets
  • Books and keepsake books
  • Rattle and chewable toys
  • Travel/emergency kit
  • Lullaby or soothing music
  • Don’t forget something for mommy

New Job

Moving up the corporate ladder is a great opportunity that can sometimes come with long days and sometimes nights. Practical yet fun gifts can be given to share a congratulatory pat on the back.

  • Personalized note pad with pen/pencil set
  • Monogramed cufflinks or lapel pen
  • Personalized coffee mug with favorite coffee or tea
  • Picture frame for desk
  • Personalized lunch bag and mug with warmer
  • Personalized tote or messenger bag

Get Well

When someone is not feeling well, giving them something to cheer them up is almost better than medicine.

  • Get well care package
  • A comfy throw and slippers
  • A good book, devotional with pen or pencil
  • Essential oils gift set like lavender, frankincense, peppermint
  • Prepared meals
  • Favorite magazines or crossword puzzles

New Home

If your gifting list includes someone who recently became a homeowner, finding something nice to add to their home should not be a problem.

  • Welcome to your new home gift basket (maybe ingredients to make a delicious pasta dish)
  • Welcome mat
  • Gardening tools, gloves, and starter seeds
  • Tool kit with gift card to favorite hardware store
  • Door knocker and wreath for front door
  • Picture frame with photo album or scrapbooking supplies
  • Board and card games
  • Personalized return mailing labels

Wedding

Buying from the happy couples pre-selected gift registry can be just about the easiest thing to do.  But what happens when there isn’t a registry, or when all the items have been purchased (I’ve never seen that happen but for the sake of this gift idea…)?

  • Wedding care package or gift basket
  • Wedding time capsule
  • Monogrammed welcome door mat
  • All natural home products with cotton dish clothes sets
  • Monogrammed soaps and towel sets
  • Elegant place mats, napkin rings and place card holders

 

A note to the wise gift-giver:

Make sure to be wise on color and scent choices when purchasing gifts for others.  Stick with neutrals, and fresh scents if you have to buy them.
