Gift a thought

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, festivals; we give each other presents all the time – whether you shop online or from a retail store in India. Now that Christmas is a few days away, you’re surely busy shopping for gifts and greeting cards. And like most people, you are stuck with the million dollar question, what to gift someone this Christmas? 

 

Most times, the problem is not that you don’t know someone; it is that you know them too well. You know what they like, what they have and what they are likely to receive as a present from other people. And you’re probably the one who gifted them everything they like and own!

So how can you make your gift stand out this year and make it really memorable? Don’t be worried, for we at ShopYourWorld have a few innovative gifting ideas!

For the artist

 

Creative and artistic people sometimes prove to be the most challenging when it comes to gifting. They already have endless art supplies and let’s face it, original art pieces are just way out of budget. But if you know someone who appreciates art and has a good fashion sense, this Charmeuse silk scarf with the artist Vincent Van Gogh's ‘Peach Tree in Bloom’ print is a great gift. There are more artists to choose from and other fabulous prints to floor your loved ones with.

For the adventurer

We all have a friend or a family member who prefers the vagabond lifestyle over a 9 to 5 job. Instead of reprimanding their carefree behaviour, gift them the super strong and reliable Atlas Hammock Suspension straps this Christmas. You can bet that nothing is going to make them happier than this travelling and trekking gear!

For the bird-watcher

Wait, before you get any ideas, we are suggesting a very literal meaning here! The Olympus Trooper binoculars are light weight and great for viewing fast moving objects. They have UV protection and an anti-reflective lens with a large centre focus knob to give the user the best experience.
In case you have a friend who is busy at work 24 x 7 and has no time to relax, the binoculars are a perfect excuse to drag them out into the open and let them discover the beauty of nature.

For the Potter fan

Kids, teenagers and adults equally adore the magical world of Harry Potter and sometimes, we wish all of it was real. On our hunt for the Marauders Map and Buckbeak, we stumbled across a pack of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Jelly Beans, for real! When Dumbledore talks about the assorted flavoured candy at the end of The Chamber of Secrets, they instantly go under the ‘must-try’ section on our bucket list. So if you know someone who is in love with the series, these little boxes of Harry Potter Bertie Botts Every Flavour Jelly Beans is going to make a very special gift!

For the tech addict

Robots are fascinating no matter what age group you are in. From the award winning robotics company OWI, comes the OWI Robotic Arm Edge. It is similar to the original Arm Trainer model in operation; standard manual remote control which uses five-switch wired controller, five motors and five joints. But this one is slightly smaller in size, has only a 300 degree rotation, and the design is minus the transparent body which enabled you to watch all the gears and circuits in motion. This robotic arm has been made with the idea to teach people the basics in robotics. So go ahead and gift a child genius the Robotic Arm Edge.

For the make-up freak

From the enthusiastic response and reviews for the product, the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette eye shadow is a huge hit with everyone. The palette has shades ranging from pale to deep and matte to sparkly proving that neutral makeup is anything but boring! Now that’s a whole new way to get Naked.

For the multi-talented

Encourage kids to learn a special fun talent in the coming year. Gift them a unicycle, make sure they try and learn to ride it and let them have fun. While this might seem like a trivial hobby or talent now, they’ll have lots of funny stories to tell when they grow up. And it’ll teach them the importance of perseverance. Pretty cool, right?
