Do you have a wedding anniversary coming up? How about your best friend’s birthday? Thinking of unique gift ideas can be a challenge all year long. Here are a few ways you can easily celebrate any occasion.
Massage
If you haven’t had a massage, then you are missing out on one of the best ways to relax and heal sore muscles. Massage can also increase energy, decrease anxiety, improve circulation and enhance sleep quality. Perhaps your best friend would benefit from a massage but feels it is too luxurious to buy for herself. Ta-da! A gift certificate for a massage is an ideal way to help her celebrate her birthday.
Auto Detail
Who wouldn’t love a surprise gift of getting their car detailed — inside and out. A sparkling clean automobile lets you know you are loved! Auto detailing Virginia can include carpets being shampooed and deep cleaning. A car can change from looking kind of dingy to looking new again. Unpleasant smells such as smoke, mildew or pet odors can also be eliminated. Who wouldn’t enjoy this gift for their anniversary!
Tickets
If you live in the same area as your grandson, then watching the paper and local news can give you an idea of upcoming events that he might be interested in. If not, you can use an online ticket company to gather ideas and purchase tickets for theater, concerts and sports activities. You may have to consult with his parents or friends to make sure which event would interest him the most.
Gift Cards
Gift cards are a popular option for holiday and birthday gifts. Consider a pre-paid credit/debit card or Amazon gift card. If you know your daughter’s favorite clothing store, you can buy her a voucher for a new outfit, or how about a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant. All these are easy to purchase and give the recipient some options to make choices.
Cash
Good old cash is always appreciated by children and grandchildren. College students need money for everything from books to pizza. Young mothers and fathers may need to pay some bills. You shouldn’t send cash through the mail. Venmo, Paypal or Google Pay are safe options — or good old-fashioned writing a check and sending it tucked inside a birthday card. It is always fun to receive a note with your loved one’s handwriting.
Look at your calendar and add some of these ideas on upcoming birthdays and holidays. It is rewarding to know you have chosen a gift that will be used and appreciated.
