Special Gifts For That Special Someone In Your Life
How many special people are there in your life
? The sort that will speak to you at three in the morning when you are sobbing and hung over after a nasty breakup, or the busy mum who drops everything to look after your kids when you come down with flu. Maybe it's your Nan, whose always understood you better than your mum, or your favourite uncle, who knows when to listen and when to offer advice. Your best mate, who sits with you holding your hand and making you laugh as he or she waits for some potentially bad medical news.
Special friends, in our increasingly hectic and work driven lives, can be thin on the ground. Wouldn't it be nice to show that you appreciate them, simply for being who they are? Special friends deserve special gifts, given, or delivered, spontaneously. The arrival of an unexpected special gift can raise the spirits and gladden the heart of that special person in your life. There is something about a non-occasion present that shows that person was on your mind and that you appreciate all the things they have done for you.
What is it that makes special presents special enough for the one you really care about? One is that it conveys the thought you have put into it, or that it refers to a running private joke you have had going between you for many years. So one factor is personalisation. Get something engraved or printed with a secret message that is meaningful only to that person and yourself. It could be on a coffee mug, or on a calendar, or a note book. What you are after is the kind of present that, if on display to anyone else, would have to be explained, or to keep the mystique going, to be waved away with "It's a really long story. Private joke between myself and someone very special to me," which will add intrigue and perhaps a bit of jealously to the mix.
Another factor in buying special gifts is that it's absolutely wonderful if you can time the giving of it, or the delivery of it, when the recipient is going through a difficult patch. It's a little moment of joy in a stressful time. When you find a good, reliable, online gift delivery service, you are pretty much there. Obviously if your special person is going through a hard time, the best thing is for you to be there in person, but if other commitments get in your way, then you can show you still care, big time, by making sure they have something that will make them smile. Better still is if you send the gift when nothing in particular is happening. It's called a spontaneous act of kindness and how wonderful the modern world is that we can do spontaneity quickly and efficiently with a good online special gifts delivery service. How lovely to know that someone who is important to you is thinking of you, even when nothing in particular - a wedding, birthday, anniversary, etc is happening.
They say it is better to give than to receive, but actually, it's quite nice to receive as well, because it shows that you have given (your heart, your wallet, whatever is necessary at the time) something to your special person who wants to show how much they appreciate you. It's so lovely to do it seemingly at random, because there are so many official occasions which necessitate the giving and receiving of gifts. It's the ones that come out of the blue that really count.
One added bonus of giving special presents spontaneously is that they don't have to break the bank. A personalised card can lift the heart as nothing else can. On the other hand, if you do want to be a bit extravagant, you can also get personalised champagne with engraved glasses (and deliver in person to toast to friendship) or a personalised compact mirror for the woman (or man, we are in the modern world) who is very concerned that everything looks OK.
Psychologists call this random acts of kindness and it has been shown that these random acts of kindness, which could come in the form of helping someone across the road to giving special gifts to your special friends for no special reason in particular, boosts the mood of the giver as well as the receiver. Yes, put that way, it sounds a tad selfish, but good hearted people do not give for the pleasure they will get, but for the pleasure the other person will have.
