The Art of Crafting the Perfect Gift Basket

A gift basket is a great way to make someone feel special for nearly any occasion. It can be fun personalizing the basket to the receiver, and the effort put into customized a gift basket is immediately evident. Whether you’re creating a basket for Christmas or need ideas of gifts for mom for Mother’s Day, these tips will help you craft the perfect gift basket.

Start with a Theme

The first step is to pick a theme. For example, if you are giving a gift basket for Christmas, you may want to choose Christmas mugs and other warm items to combat the cold. A sumptuously soft shawl will not only keep the recipient warm but will feel like a hug from you every time they wear it. You can choose a holiday theme, such as Christmas, Mother’s Day, or a housewarming basket, or you can go with the receiver’s personality or interests. If they love hosting and being in the kitchen, focus on kitchen items and serve ware.

Choose a Container

Next, choose a container. Customize it to the rest of the gifts and the theme. If you are giving the recipient hosting and kitchen essentials, then a ceramic loaf pan with the sentiment, “Made for you,” is ideal. It’s functional and fits the theme, serving double purpose as the basket and another gift.

Coordinate Colors

It’s time to break out a color wheel. If possible, coordinate the colors of the gifts with the container. If you are choosing personalized mugs for the recipient, it’s easy to choose a mug of the right color. You can choose all one color, a gradient, complementing colors, or contrasting colors.

Layer with Filler

The next two steps are essentially done at the same time. First, you will need a layer of filler. This could be shredded paper, tissue paper, or some other type of filler. It helps fill in the gaps where there are no gifts and cushions individual gifts. It helps prevent the items from knocking into or rubbing against one another in transit.

Arrange the Items

Finally, with a layer of filler down, it’s time to arrange the items in the gift basket. There are a few different methods to arranging the items. The tallest items go in the center for the first option, getting shorter as you reach the edges of the basket. This is arranging in the round, with the gift basket balanced from all angles, items facing the nearest edge of the basket. Another option is starting with the tallest items at the back and arranging smaller items toward the front—all of the items should face the front of the basket. The key is to arrange the gifts so that they do not fall down.

Need a Cozy Sunday? Five Tips to Help You Relax

Sometimes you just need to kick your feet up, throw on a blanket, and read a good book on a lazy Sunday. It’s a great way to relax and prepare to face the work week ahead by taking an hour or two to pamper yourself. If you want to have the ultimate lazy Sunday morning, read on.

Grab a Cup of Coffee or Tea

Your first step is to wake up so you can enjoy the morning. Grab one of your favorite coffee mugs and start brewing. Live a little and use your favorite specialty brew. This should be your first step, as it could take a few minutes to brew or steep, and you can get other items on this list done in the meantime.

Warm Your Heart

If it’s a cold morning, light a fire in and gaze at some of the photo frames off the mantel. Even if you don’t have a fireplace, the photos of family and friends in colorful, creative picture frames will warm your heart. If you don’t have a mantel, put some frames on your coffee table to appreciate or look to them on a nearby shelf.

Get Comfy

Wrap yourself in a shawl, preferably one made from sumptuously soft fabric. One that has a pocket for eyeglasses or your cell phone is ideal, as it can free your hands up and carry small items if you need to get up. Putting on the shawl is also like getting a hug from your favorite person, whether it’s a friend or partner, and is especially nice if they aren’t close by. You can also put on socks made from the same material for added coziness and a hug for your feet. Spoil yourself with the comfy combo and revel in the relaxation.

Hug a Plush Friend

If you don’t have a person to share the moment with, grab a couple of stuffed animals and hold them close. They’ll provide comfort and joy as you sip your hot beverage, taking in the morning in all of its glory. Whenever you need, give the plush companions a squeeze and try not to smile. They aren’t just for kids, after all, and can provide a soothing presence for all ages.

Crack Open a Good Book

Finally, complete your relaxation by cracking open a good book. Whether it’s a book gifted by a friend or something you have only recently picked up, the combination of a hot beverage, a warm fire, a comfy blanket, socks knitted with love, a cuddle buddy, and a satisfying book will help reset your mind in the face of a long work week. Do you need inspiration? Try books that will help you embrace change or unleash your joy, with artwork and encouraging sentiments.

Show Sisterly Love During the Month of Love

February, thanks to Valentine’s Day, is the month of love. It’s never a bad time to send a gift to your sister and show her familial love, reaffirming that special bond that only siblings can have. These gifts for sister are sure to surprise and delight her.

A Warm Shawl

While winter is quickly coming to an end, the air can still be chilly. Until spring is in full swing and temperatures climb, a shawl can help keep her warm and toasty. As a bonus, a shawl made of sumptuously soft fabric can feel like a hug, meaning you can be there for your sister even when you can’t be physically present. Your sister can wrap the shawl around her when she needs comforting, making this one of the best gifts for sisters from sisters.

Wall Art for Family and Togetherness

Celebrate your special bond with wall art that captures the relationship you two share, spending time with your sister. A piece depicting two figures holding hands and running off a pier into a lake represents all the good times the two of you had together when you were young. This kind of wall art is something she will proudly display on her walls to show guests that you two are close.

A Token of Support

With love comes support. A small token is a piece of you she can carry everywhere for daily inspiration. A token with a sentiment such as “Shine, girl, shine,” can remind her to keep going even when times get tough because her sister is always there to back her. It will inspire her to be stronger and believe in herself because you believe in her.

A Figurative Sculpture of Your Bond

Sisters share a special bond, and figurative sculptures can be a beautiful representation of the strength of that relationship. An example is a figurative sculpture showing two figurines of women, one holding the other from behind, an arm wrapped around the shoulders, while the other holds the first woman’s arm in her hand. It’s the perfect gift for older sisters to give younger sisters and represents wanting to keep someone close, even as the younger sister is gaining independence.

Matching Necklaces

A set of matching necklaces can show how you, as sisters, are two of a kind. A great variation on matching necklaces is a set of two necklaces that are mirrors. A gold-plated chain with a gold-plated hollow circle is matched, for example, by a solid silver-plated circle that fits inside the first. It’s a set for best friends who also happen to be family. There’s one for you to wear and one to share with your sister.

Great Gift Ideas for When You’re Stumped and Don’t Know What to Get

Gifting has got a bad rap. Gift-giving can, and should, be fun for everyone, but sometimes you just get stumped. Will they like it? Does it send the wrong message? What do they even need that they don’t have already? When you don’t have all that long to plan it out, gifting can get a little hairy. Sometimes a family reunion or event, wedding, work celebration, or birthday party catches you by surprise, and you need to find something relatively soon. Don’t despair! Consider the following thoughtful possibilities for 11th-hour gifts.


Weddings

At a wedding, the choice of gift is generally contingent on how well you know the recipient. If you’re close enough to the bride to know her tastes, it will be easier to pick up art, jewelry, clothing, or decoration for her than it would be for a more casual acquaintance. When considering gifts for wife to be who you don’t know well, lean toward event-specific gifts: a picture frame celebrating the wedding day, a terrarium featuring a wire-worked message of love, or artful figures representing the loving couple. More generally, it’s hard to go wrong with a classy dark wood serving dish or cutting board.

Family Events

Family events can cover a whole lot of ground, meaning a whole lot of possible gifts. They might include births, birthdays, religious events like baptisms and confirmations, family reunions, or graduations. Once again, something specifically commemorating the event with a memory is a great keepsake if you’re unsure. A commemorative frame with a great picture, perhaps taken by you, is easy to manage and thoughtful. For a sister who’s a great cook, fine recipe boxes and kitchen boas make great sister gifts to demonstrate your appreciation of her culinary craft. For a birth or early birthday, it’s nice to pick something both fun and practical, like an activity blankie for the little one.

Work Celebrations

Parties, get-togethers, events, and holiday celebrations at work are a great way to get to know coworkers better. However, with the popularity of Secret Santa, white elephant parties, and gift exchanges, you might find yourself in a position where you have to purchase a gift for someone you don’t really know. Sometimes just knowing a little bit about them is enough to find a terrific gift for them. Do they have a pet they love or a specific animal they’re fond of? There’s a wide selection of pet-related gifts available, including adorable plush animals of particular breeds that are sure to be a hit. For coworkers with a green thumb, a high-quality herb planter set for the office should prove popular. Gifting for a specific love, hobby, or interest is generally a good strategy.

Kitchen and Serving Essentials You Need for Your Spring Parties

With winter coming to a close and spring on the horizon, it’s time to start planning spring garden parties. If you don’t already have kitchen and serve ware essentials, which also make fantastic gifts for new homeowners, it’s the perfect time to stock up. Each of these will help elevate your spring party, impressing guests with your hosting abilities.

Tea Towels for Messes

Tea towels are essential for quickly cleaning up messes in the kitchen as you make snacks and appetizers for your party. Kitchen boas are exceptionally useful tools in the kitchen, draping around your neck for easy access and worry-free cooking. Look for boas with fun patterns and heartfelt sentiments. Plus, they can act as emergency potholders.

Serving Plates, Trays, and Platters

Serving plates, trays, and platters are essential for hosting parties. Whether it’s a large ceramic bread basket, a serving board with a bowl, or a large serving tray, you need something to transport delicious food from the kitchen to the garden or party area. A delicious charcuterie board deserves to be artfully displayed on a serving tray or board.

Trivets to Protect Surfaces

For placing down hot bowls and containers straight from the oven, you’ll need trivets. An expandable trivet with a wood-burned heart design is not only functional for preventing temperature shock to the dish or heat damage to a table but also displaying on the wall as wall art in your kitchen.

Dish Covers to Cover Food

If you are eating outside during your party and need to bring dishes out, invest in a set of dish covers. Dish covers not only protect your food from the elements but also add an extra touch that will make memorable meals even more unforgettable.

A Bottle Opener for Wine

You might already have a bottle opener, but it never hurts to get a second just in case. Never be without a bottle opener when you’re planning a party. You can also choose a bottle opener with a fashionable design. Not only will it look good at your personal bar, but it’s also a great gift if you are attending someone else’s garden party. Just be sure to bring a bottle of wine to use the opener with.

Coasters for Drinks

Choose colorful, nature-inspired coasters for drinks if you are having a garden party. Watercolor depictions, for example, of a hummingbird, butterflies, or a dragonfly are perfect for an outdoor setting.

A Stemless Glass Set

With a bottle opener and coasters, all that’s left is a matching set of stemless wine glasses to go with the coasters. Finding a matching set makes it easy to tell which glass is which and can go to their corresponding coasters.

Easy Gifts for Coworkers You Don’t Know Well

If you’ve recently begun a new job or moved to a new department, it can be difficult to become friends with new coworkers. Even when you’ve been working somewhere for a while, it can feel like you don’t have a lot of time to cultivate friendships, and having to start that process all over again can be daunting. Whether you’d like to get to know new coworkers or get to know current ones better, a great way to break the ice is with a thoughtful gift. The question is, what should that gift be, and for what occasion?

Birthdays and Holidays

Birthdays and holidays provide classic gifting opportunities. As tough as buying holiday or birthday gifts for a friend or family member can be, doing so for a coworker you’re not close with can be even harder. Without knowing a lot about their taste and preferences, gifts like clothing, accessories, jewelry, and art can be risky. However, with some simple outfit and workspace observations for taste hints, you can gift to impress with something they love.

Alternately, opt for a birthday or holiday gift that is simple and elegant. A mango wood platter, for instance, contributes an elegant touch to any domestic dining experience. Consider casual details you may be familiar with. If your coworker mentioned a recent tour of a winery or their favorite pinot, find them a classy wine stopper.

Housewarming Gifts

A coworker’s housewarming party is another perfect opportunity to both get to know them better and build some friendly bridges with a great gift. If you’re connected with them on social media, inform your housewarming gifts by browsing photos to get a sense of their style and décor. If you choose to go with decoration, think about elegant yet simple wall art. Other options include a stylish kitchen boa, a homey tea towel, a magnetic welcome sign, or a colorful birdhouse for the yard.

Celebrating a Baby

Everyone loves a baby. Finding adorable, heartfelt, fun gifts to commemorate the occasion can be tricky, but new parents need all sorts of things, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Keepsakes for babies are often considered according to their place in two categories. The first is practical gifts the parents can use, like bibs, blankets, swaddles, and the like. The other is the more sentimental gifts like personalized picture frames, first tooth and curl boxes, ornaments, and figurative sculptures. When selecting baby-related gifts for a coworker you don’t know well, remember that there’s no harm in asking what they might need. Many parents don’t get everything they need from baby shower gifts, so see if there are any gaps you can fill.

Fun and Distinctive Baby Gifts for New Parents

There’s not much more exciting than welcoming a new member of a loved one’s family into the world. As wonderful as a new birth is, knowing what to get the happy couple to commemorate one of the most important events of their life can be tough. It’s hard to know what they need, what they’ll find useful, and what they’ll appreciate. As every couple will have different needs and taste, there is no perfect one-size-fits-all baby gift. Consider the following thoughtful baby gift ideas, they’re sure to be appreciated by the new parents.

Practical Baby Gifts

It can be difficult to decide whether your gift to the new parents should be something practical that they can use, or purely sentimental and ornamental. A dozen diaper packages isn’t likely to truly convey the importance of the occasion. So why not consider something that’s a bit of both? For example, baby blankets and swaddles will always come in handy, but why not look for one that’s beautiful enough to serve as a backdrop for pictures? Rare is the parent that isn’t charmed by a really cute swaddle.

Keepsakes and Mementos

One wonderful option for heartfelt baby gifts is providing the expecting or new parents with a keepsake or memento of the occasion. Consider something like a stacking box set for mementos of the baby’s first tooth and first curl of hair. They’re adorable reminders of the little one’s milestones that the parents are sure to treasure for years to come.

Event Commemoration

In the social media age, a baby’s arrival and life will likely be recorded at every step with incredibly cute pictures. If you’ve taken some great pictures of the proud parents with their new arrival yourself, even better. How about surprising mom and dad with some of those great pictures in personalized mom and dad frames for each of them? If their family is growing and they already have older children, how about adding some photos of baby with brother or sister? How about a picture of the little one in a Christmas tree ornament frame? Parents love pictures of their new bundle of joy, and gifting photographs taken by you is a wonderful way to show them that you cherish their growing family too.

Celebrating Their Firsts

More specifically, why not commemorate some of baby’s big firsts. Their first birthday is a common big first and can be celebrated with a personalized picture frame or ornamental figure. Beautiful themed frames also make great gifts for baby’s first Christmas—for a while, the little one won’t understand what Christmas is, so keepsakes they can enjoy later in life make for thoughtful gifts. There are also faith-based firsts. A picture frame, faith-based activity book, or artful figurative sculpture could commemorate the little one’s baptism or christening. Basically, with a little thought and a lot of love, new parents are sure to cherish whatever you get them to celebrate their family growing.

Surprise Your Wife with a Valentine’s Day Encore

Valentine’s Day is over, but you can still surprise your wife with gifts for a Valentine’s Day encore. If you aren’t sure what she would like as an encore, just think of gifts for wife for birthday, and choose something that would be similar to what you would get her then. If you still can’t decide, use this list to help you find the best gift for your wife.

 


A Figurative Sculpture

Show your love for your wife through a figurative sculpture. One where the man is holding his wife close, one arm around her, one clasping her hand, heads close together. It expresses love and caring, and from one angle can look like the two figures are kissing, and from another it looks like they are dancing.

Love Notes

One of the best gifts for wife is a simple jar meant to hold love notes. The second part of the gift, of course, comes in love notes you can scatter around the house for her to find and put in the jar. You can leave them in plain sight or hide them in places you know she will eventually look, such as the book she is reading or near her keys.

The Gift of Comfort

There’s nothing better than taking a Sunday morning for yourself and getting cozy by a fireplace. Give your wife the gift of comfort by enabling her to grab her book and relax. A warm shawl with an inside pocket for glasses or a phone feels like a comfy hug and helps ease your wife into a comfy morning. Choose a shawl crafted from sumptuously soft fabric.

A Watercolor Mug

Adding to the last gift, give her a beautiful watercolor mug for a warm beverage. Whether it’s coffee or tea, it will help kick-start her morning. Go with a mug that has beautiful art on it, with bright, vibrant colors that will add to your kitchen when not in use. Combined with the shawl and a book, your wife will have the ultimate relaxing weekend.

From the Heart

Does your wife love jewelry? Give a gift from the heart with a bracelet adorned with heart charms. It’s a lovely reminder of love and encouragement, showing support for your wife. Whenever she wears it, she will know you that are thinking of her and that you love her.

A Kitchen Essential

If your wife loves being in the kitchen, making food, and hosting friends and family, she will love a Kitchen Boa. A wearable kitchen towel, each comes with a fun sentiment such as “Will Cook for Wine” and a stylish design. It can also be used as a potholder in a pinch and is easy to keep in reach for drying hands and dealing with spills.

Treat Your Best Friend with a Gift on Random Acts of Kindness Day

Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17 and it’s the perfect time to give your friends a gift. Give them the type of best friend gifts birthday party attendees will be jealous they didn’t think of first, and you’ll have an appropriate “just because” gift. It can be functional or decorative but should be a gift from the heart. Remember, it’s a random act of kindness, and it should be something your best friend will enjoy receiving.

 


Soft, Comfy, and Cozy

Does your friend live in a cold area? Warm them up with fluffy socks they can wear around the house. A pair with sole grips helps your friend avoid slipping on tile or wood floors, and they’ll be thrilled with the added bit of thoughtfulness to the random gift. Combine this with a thick, soft blanket to wrap themselves up in. It’s perfect for curling up with a bowl of popcorn on movie night or having a relaxing Sunday in. You could also combine this with a shawl and comfortable pants for the ultimate in weekend leisurewear.

A Long-Distance Hug

One of the greatest best friend gifts you can give as a random act of kindness is like a long-distance hug from a friend whenever it is needed. An incredibly soft, knitted yarn pillow with a stress-relieving weight feels exactly like a hug when held, and what is more kind than a friendly hug? It’s a comforting way to remind your best friend you are thinking of them, even if you aren’t there.

Friendly Wall Art

A heart-shaped keepsake that symbolizes friendship is an ideal gift for your best friend on Random Acts of Kindness Day. It features an inspirational message for the loving friend in your life, with a meaningful sentiment of, “Friends are the flowers in the garden of life,” set against a vibrant design. It comes with an ornamental key and can hang on a wall or stand with the attached key as an easel.

A Wine Holder and Lantern

The Best Wines Gift Box and Lantern is the perfect way to deliver a bottle of wine to your friend for your random act of kindness. It’s a gift bag that holds wine while also containing an LED lantern. It features wood with a laser-cut design for letting light through with the sentiment, “The best wines are the ones we drink with friends.” It combines wine themes and word art, two wildly popular home décor trends that will fit seamlessly with your best friend’s home. Put a bottle of wine they like inside and use it as a gift box.

Say “I Love You” with These Thoughtful Gift Ideas for Your Lady

Coming up with romantic gift ideas for your lovely wife’s birthday, or your anniversary, and let’s not forget Valentine’s Day, is a challenge that can be tough to get right every single time. But you know her better than anyone else, so you got this. With a bit of thought and imagination, you can find something special for your wife—or gifts for wife to be. Here are some ideas to get you thinking about your next best gift.
She’s Sentimental

Capture the romance you share with a sentimental piece of framed wall art. A serene scene that represents bonding, joy, and natural beauty will show her that your time together means as much to you as it does to her. Artist Sharon Nowlan is especially skilled at showing the love between people, for example. A framed reminder of intimate moments is bound to capture your lady’s heart.

She Enjoys Chill Time

If your gal is a more laid back and enjoys relaxing on the weekends, you could make her a self-care package that includes soft, cozy lounge pants, slipper socks, a sleep mask, and a sweet mug for her morning coffee or tea. Sipping a favorite beverage from decorative, personalized mugs makes the whole relaxation experience even better. The details in your gift-giving are what elevate your gifts to the next level.

She’s a Talented Interior Designer

If you just moved into a new home or are upgrading rooms with special touches here and there, find cozy and unique home decor that will impress her with your taste. Decorative accents like throw pillows and blankets add a beautiful element to a couch, chair, or bed. Look for throw pillows with a romantic touch to them, such as heart embellishments or sentimental wording. A chenille throw blanket is super soft and will keep you both warm through the winter.

She’s Going on a Trip

Don’t let her pack her bag for vacation until you get her a special travel bag and makeup pouch to go with it. A soft-sided, stylish bag for the airplane will allow her to keep all the essentials she may need for the flight. You’re her main adventure partner, but she’ll love to show off her one-of-a-kind new travel companion, her bag. You could also choose a stylish makeup bag with a printed sentiment, like “You mean the world to me.”

She Loves Entertaining

If she loves to have friends and loved ones over for dinner parties or she’s the hostess with the mostess, you can’t go wrong with stylish drinkware. Choose elegant wine glasses with sparkly accents like rhinestones and metal. A nice wine glass set is something she’ll cherish. You can toast each other for many more years to come out of special glasses you picked just for her.

Gifts Your Loved Ones Will Cherish All Year

With the holidays behind us, there are still plenty of occasions for generosity.

Some of the most cherished gifts are those that symbolize how much we care for the recipient, even if the item wasn’t on our list. Here are a few options if you want to give your loved ones something extra thoughtful that they can appreciate all year.

Your Special Bond in Art Form

Parents can be difficult to shop for. We’ve likely all had that conversation about an upcoming gift-giving occasion that ends with, “I don’t want anything but to spend time with you.” Even if you do take the time to visit with your mom and dad, you may still be thinking about going the extra mile. As such, one of the best gifts for mom or dad is a distinctive art piece depicting a mother or father with their infant. Simple, hand-carved figures can capture the special bond between parent and child and serve as stunning representations of memories you’ve shared with your mom or dad—or both. Plus, if you haven’t been able to visit in a while, having a piece of art that reminds your parents of your love for them is a thoughtful alternative until you can stop by again.

Celebrate a New Birth

Children grow so fast, especially newborns. It’s tempting when considering baby gift ideas to go with new clothes or adorably tiny booties—and there’s nothing wrong with that! But if you want to offer a present that they’ll cherish as they grow, blankets and toys are an ideal way to do that.

Animal themes are always popular with the little ones, so select a blanket that’s made to resemble one. You could choose a real-life creature like an elephant, alligator, or cow, or you could encourage their imagination with a blanket inspired by a unicorn. Pair it with a stuffed animal and you’re sure to be the favorite aunt or uncle. You could even think outside the box and select something especially fun, like a plush armadillo.

Another thing to consider is the child who’s suddenly become an older brother or sister. It’s always particularly thoughtful to bring a gift for the big sister if you’re presenting one to the new baby. To keep with the animal theme, give the new big sis a plush puppy that comes with a message highlighting her special role as friend and protector of the new little one.

Birthday Gifts Set in Stone

We’ve all had moments where we wish our birthday could last longer than a single day. Luckily, there are gift options that can help make it feel that way. If you or a loved one has a birthday coming up, a lovely gift is jewelry made with the recipient’s birthstone. Each month of the year has a distinctive gemstone, and each of those represents a particular quality or characteristic. January’s birthstone is the garnet, which symbolizes protection, while February’s amethyst is associated with wisdom. To celebrate your friends born early in the year, get them a set of gold-plated earrings and matching necklace featuring their birthstone and an inscription of the quality it symbolizes on the back.

For the Woman Who Has Everything: Post-Holiday Gifts for Your Wife

Let’s face it: There’s no such thing as a wrong time to buy a gift for your wife. She works hard and you love her, so of course you want to show her that all year. However, some women are more difficult to shop for than others. If you had a hard time selecting gifts for wife this Christmas, it might be even more challenging to pick out the perfect “just because” gift. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Something Green

If your wife has a green thumb, giving her the tools to start her own herb garden is a great way to foster that hobby during colder months. Present her with a windowsill garden set complete with planters decorated with art depicting various popular herbs. A set like this makes a perfect addition to a kitchen windowsill, and she can grow her favorite herbs to cook with. Don’t forget to include some seeds to get her started.

If she prefers to leave the gardening to others, she may appreciate a beautiful arrangement to look at instead. Get a bouquet of her favorite flowers and present them in a distinctive vase artfully decorated with flowers in a coordinating color. She’ll appreciate the buds, but she’ll love being reminded of your “just because” generosity every time she reuses the vase.

Something Soft

Everyone can enjoy something soft to wear or wrap up in, especially if you live in colder regions. Keep your wife’s feet—and heart—warm with some fluffy socks she can wear around the house. Select a pair with sole grips so there’s no danger of slipping on tile or wood floors, and she’ll be thrilled with the added bit of thoughtfulness.

Another favorite is a thick, soft blanket to wrap up in. Even as the weather warms up, she’ll appreciate having something to nestle under on movie nights or lazy Saturday mornings.

One of the best gifts for wife, particularly the kind who is always the first to help anyone who needs it, is a sweet reminder to make time for herself. A throw pillow decorated with a sentiment encouraging her to enjoy some rest is a perfect way to show her how much you appreciate all she does, while letting her know she can take a break too.

Something Memorable

The perfect gift for your wife is making memories with her, but it can be tough to find time after the busy holiday season. So why not remind her of a memory you’ve already made? Pick out your favorite photo of the two of you, or the whole family, and set it in a frame designed to highlight the importance of family memories. She can hang it in her favorite room in the house or at her office, and it’ll be a constant reminder of a wonderful memory and an expression of how much you appreciate her.

Another thoughtful option is a heart-shaped locket so that she can wear your memories close to her heart wherever she goes. If you want to be especially creative, present her with a locket designed to hold small items, like slips of paper or tiny mementos. Before you give it to her, you could write a love note, place it inside, and she’ll always know how you feel, no matter where she is.

Thoughtful Ways to Send Love to Your Sister in Another State

One of the hardest parts of the end of the holiday season is saying goodbye to friends and family who visited us from out of town. It’s such a treat to spend time and make memories with long-distance relatives we don’t often get to see. For sisters, it can be especially difficult to part ways. Your sister is your first friend and living far from her as an adult isn’t always easy. Fortunately, there are a few gifts for sisters from sisters you can send if you’re already missing yours.

Tokens of Love She Can Carry with Her

Who wouldn’t love to have a constant reminder of their sister and how much she cares? There are plenty of small tokens and mementos you can send your sister, and she’ll be able to carry one with her wherever she goes. Jewelry is an always-welcome option. Necklaces and earrings with messages of love or friendship are the perfect complement to any outfit. A charm bracelet with leather and brass elements, featuring a collection of hearts, is another beautiful way for her to carry a reminder of your friendship with her. A small heart-shaped medallion with a simple sentiment, “You are loved,” could fit perfectly in her purse or pocket. She could also display it at home or work, where she can easily look at it as often as she likes.

A Visible Display of Your Bond for Her Home or Office

Naturally, your sister may want to place a gift from you in a place that’s easy for her to see anytime she’s at home or work. Framed photos are a popular choice, and a carefully selected frame decorated with artwork of her favorite flower, an inspiring message, or a lovely sentiment about sisters can elevate any captured memory. Another option is handcrafted art that can be displayed on a shelf, tabletop, or wall. Send her something that includes a meaningful message, such as, “Always my sister, forever my friend,” to highlight the special relationship you share. Small figurative sculptures of two women together or framed art depicting two people in a beautiful setting could serve as a cherished representation of a particular memory over the years or simply the bond between you and your sister.

A Hug You Can Hold

You’re never too old to enjoy something soft and cuddly. Plush toys, fuzzy blankets, and fluffy pillows are always a fun way to express your love for your sister. Send her a stuffed bear or soft heart-shaped pillow that she can hold when she misses you. It’s almost like getting a hug straight from the source! A thick, warm blanket is another excellent way to show her how much you care. She can wrap herself in it during these colder months, and that warmth will be a physical reminder of the warm memories you two have shared.

 

Make It Easier for Her to Visit

Of course, one of the best sister gifts from sister is seeing her in person, and giving her a bag she can bring on her journey makes it even better! A beautifully patterned cross body bag that she can carry onto the plane with her will make that airport travel a bit easier—and more fun. If your sister lives out of town, but close enough for a road trip, give her an overnight bag. You can even make it a set, with each bag sharing a color family but always differing just enough to remind her of her individuality, no matter how many similarities you might share.

Thank You Gift Ideas for Loved Ones Who Made Your Holidays Memorable

If the people in your life made the holidays extra special for you and your family this past season, it’s polite to return the favor. A small token of appreciation or “thank you” gift is appropriate for your grandma who hosted a lovely Christmas dinner, your best friend who threw a New Year’s party, or for your neighbors who baked you holiday treats, for example. It’s not too late!

While your friends, loved ones, and neighbors may not be expecting anything in return, you are sure to make them feel special with a kind gift of gratitude. The first thing to do is find giftable, handcrafted goods from a company that specializes in products designed to put a smile on someone’s face. Their website may even provide gift guides for shoppers looking specifically for thank-you gifts or for certain members of the family, like gifts for grandma. While doing your shopping, consider these five themes to inspire your gift-giving purchases.

Gifts with a Grateful Theme

Grateful-themed products are excellent choices for anyone on your list as they have inspiring messages of gratitude on them and include items like mugs, wall art, tea towels, and serving trays. When you give an uplifting gift to someone for their home, they’ll always think of you when they use it or see it.

Gifts with a Self-Care Theme

Comfy loungewear is where it’s at for the woman who loves her downtime, especially on the weekends or after a long day of work. Soft fabrics and fashionable but comfortable styles encourage her to cozy up and enjoy her well-deserved relaxation time. Lounge pants, slipper socks, and shrobes are thoughtful gifts for sister, mom, or a good friend.

Gifts with a Wine Theme

A bottle of wine is a typical thank you gift, but you can take it up a notch by placing the wine in a cleverly-carved wooden lantern with LED lights. Trendy wine gift lanternsor bags are great gifts for anyone who imbibes. Other gifts for those who like to uncork and unwind include embellished wine glasses, wine stoppers, and kitchen boas for the wine-loving cook.

Gifts with a Heart Theme

Who doesn’t love hearts? There’s nothing more symbolic of love than hearts. Show a loved one you care with an artistic heart platter, a delicate heart necklace set, an embellished heart ornament, or an elegant heart pillow. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, a heart-themed gift is a great gift choice.

Gifts with a Thank-You Theme

A cute dessert plate with a simple “thank you” sentiment written on it pretty much sums up your gratitude. Elevate the gift by baking a special treat and arranging it on the plate. Another idea is a hand-carved figurative sculpture that expresses appreciation. Figurines holding brightly-colored flowers represent a warm gesture of thanks.

Gifts to Pamper Your Mom During the Cold Months

If you are looking for ideas of gifts for mom during the cold months, consider these comfy and cozy ideas to give your mom. If your mom enjoys slowing down and taking time for self-care during the cold weekends of the winter months, these gifts are for her.

A Shawl

The best gifts have some meaning, and a luxurious, sophisticated shawl with sumptuously soft fabric is like hugging your mom every time she wears it. For maximum versatility, choose a shawl designed for soothing comfort that has an inside pocket, perfect for holding a phone, eyeglasses, or tissues.

A Pair of Comfy Socks

Make your mom’s weekend the ultimate in comfort by combining the shawl with a pair of super-comfy knit socks. Much like the shawl, it’s like a warm hug any time a hug is needed. They will make your mom think of you with warm, fuzzy feelings, and the heartfelt gift is essential for spoiling your mom on cozy weekends. An alternative to regular socks is a pair of slipper socks, with ultra-plush lining and sole grips, making it easier to walk around houses with slick surfaces, such as tile.

A Mug with a Message

There’s nothing better than sitting down to a good mug of coffee or tea on a lazy weekend. Getting your mom coffee mugs can help ward off the cold and give her a chance to kick up her feet. For example, a coffee mug with “Lifelong friend and cheerleader! Mom,” inscribed on a green ombre background is a fantastic, heartfelt gift for a birthday or just because you want to celebrate your mom. If your mom goes back for a second mug regularly, go for a latte mug instead, which is taller and often holds around 20 ounces of liquid, just a bit more than a standard mug.

A Teapot Set

If your mom is more into tea than coffee, consider getting her an all-in-one teapot-and-mug combo. The all-in-one package makes it easy to store, and if you choose a set with watercolor art, it can act as a piece of art in your mom’s kitchen. Choose a set that features a diffuser, teapot, teacup, and saucer, and your mom will want for nothing on cold days.

A Travel Mug

Can your mom not sit still on weekends? Does she long to get out of the house, despite the cold weather, but still wants some warmth? Consider a travel mug. She can kick-start her day with coffee or tea outside without fear of spilling.

An Infinity Scarf

To go with her travel mug, get her a stylish, multicolor infinity scarf. Easy to carry and perfect for everyday use or travel, it will keep your mom warm with her travel mug and is flattering whether she’s wearing jeans or an evening dress.

Thoughtful Birthday Gifts Your Mom Will Love

It can be hard finding thoughtful birthday gifts for mom. The key is to choose a gift that will make her think of you every time she uses or looks at the gift. Each of these celebrates your mom, making her feel special.
For Comfort

If your mom needs to slow down sometimes, getting her something comfortable will help her settle in for a lazy weekend. One of the best gifts for mom is a shawl made of sumptuously soft fabric that feels like a hug from you every time she puts it on. It will keep her warm, providing a soothing comfort in every season. The best shawls also have a pocket for carrying anything from glasses to a phone.

For the Kitchen

Does your mom love to host in her kitchen? Add something from you to the kitchen with things your mom can use. One option is a stoneware mug with a heart and the word “Kind” inscribed on it, a fantastic reminder of your love every morning with a cup of coffee or tea. Another gift is the Kitchen Boa, a new take on the traditional tea towel. Draped around your mother’s neck, it’s not only stylish, it’s ideal for cleaning hands or as an emergency pot holder.

For the Walls

Adding art to your mom’s walls means she can see handpicked art every day and think of you. The most important part is finding something with meaning. This might take the form of a decorative heart with watercolor art, such as a hummingbird, and a key, as if you are giving the key to your heart to the woman who raised you. There’s also a key slot in the back of the heart, allowing the heart to be propped up instead of hung on the wall. Other pieces of art to consider are inspired by pebbles, sea glass, and other natural materials, bringing a connection to nature into the home.

For Love

There are also gifts that just show your love for your mom. A bracelet with heart charms is a simple way of reminding your mom she is loved, and that you are thinking of her. Flipping that around, a figurative sculpture of a woman holding a young child close can show what she means to you and that there is a loving relationship between the two of you. It’s one of the best gifts to mom for birthday, acknowledging all she has done for you. It is also a perfect companion to a figurative sculpture of a woman holding a child in a chair, both draped with a quilt. It, too, represents the loving protection a mother has for her child.
