How to Give a Great Gift

By Bonnie Wertheim

Photography by Will Anderson; Styled by Livia Cetti

Sometimes we give gifts because we know the recipients will love and appreciate them. They dropped the right hints, we considered their tastes and interests and picked just the right object to wrap in that beautiful paper. Sometimes we give gifts out of obligation, choosing items from a registry that are predestined to be used, if not loved, or sending flowers because, well, flowers make people happy. And other times we scour museum gift shops seeking souvenirs that our loved ones are unlikely to treasure for more than a fleeting moment. But that fleeting moment is often worth the $15 and the luggage space. Gift-giving is a love language and one that anyone can learn to speak. This guide will help you develop your fluency.

This could be the most important question in your gift-giving journey.

Why Do We Do This? (Beyond the Obvious)

Gifting can be a way of showing you care about someone, or reflecting the care someone has shown you. There’s never a particularly inappropriate time to do it. Oftentimes, though, we try to force our expressions of love to fit occasion-specific molds rather than the recipients themselves. (Think about how many recent graduates have received a copy of Dr. Seuss’s “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!,” which is a great book, but still.)

Of course, many events have established practices of gift-giving, including birthdays and weddings, and some religious or cultural holidays. While giving gifts around these dates can feel more rote, it is still important to try to convey your affection for the recipient.

A note: Yes, some people have personal ideologies around gift-giving that reject objects as materialistic or simply clutter. You can still find a way to give a gift and be respectful of those beliefs. Hang on, we’ll get there.

Reasons to Give

Keeping those realities in mind, here’s a non-exhaustive list of possible gift-giving occasions and how to approach them:

Birthdays. For adults, start with a phone call, a card, an email or a text message. Most people, even if they “hate birthdays,” want to feel validated in their personhood, and this is the day they became a person. Then consider your relationship. Is this someone with whom you are very close, someone whose tastes and wants are known to you? Is this a person with whom you’re trying to increase your intimacy? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, you probably want to get them something. The gift need not match the exact magnitude (size, price, etc.) of anything they’ve given you in the past. The point is to reciprocate their love and generosity, and to open the door for future shows of affection. (For kids, unless otherwise specified, a small gift basically required at a party.)

Religious holidays. There’s a reason we picture incandescent living rooms filled with wrapped gifts when we think of the winter holiday season: People give a lot (sometimes more than they can afford) at the end of each year. The National Retail Federation has projected that Americans will spend between $717 billion and $721 billion in November and December, ahead of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Oftentimes these gifts are reserved for family members, but they can span all kinds of relationships. If you’re not sure whether you’re on those terms with someone, start a conversation about it. There’s nothing wrong with asking, “Are we exchanging gifts this year?” and it could save you a lot of stress later.

Anniversaries. Every year that a couple chooses to remain together is worth marking, whether that’s with a night out, a talisman for continued companionship or some combination of the two. If you’re stuck on what to get, there’s nothing wrong with taking the traditional tack. Years 1 through 60 of marriage have material themes that can guide your search.

Federal and Hallmark holidays. President’s Day presents? Maybe not. But some of these days create conditions for creative giving. Even those who opt out of these days are capable of appreciating an expression of love. So whether that’s a phone call on Mother’s or Father’s Day, or a bouquet of roses on Valentine’s Day, it’s worth it. You probably don’t need to sign your best friend up for a Ben and Jerry’s subscription on National Ice Cream Day, but you also don’t not need to.

New life stages. Graduations, moves, births, deaths: Many of these can be marked with cards, but if you can think of something that reflects or supports the transition the recipient is going through, share it. Even better is when it’s something they might fail to consider as they are dealing with the stress of change: think about a doormat for a new homeowner, or warm food for a grieving friend.

Formal occasions. The conventional wisdom of gifts for weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, sweet 16s, quinceañeras and the like is that the gift should match the cost of a place setting, which is more or less the price of a fancy dinner (think somewhere between $50 and $120 and double that if you’re attending with a guest). In cases where you are especially close with the honoree(s), your gift might exceed that dollar amount. It also might not be so easily quantified. If your budget is tight, you can also offer to trade in expertise for big occasions; if you’re a photographer, for example, your gift to the soon-to-be-wed couple might be a pro-bono photo package.

No occasion. Random acts of kindness can be the most thrilling: leaving something thoughtful on a colleague’s desk, sending a book to a long-distance friend, showing up with flowers for no reason except that they were beautiful and you wanted to share that beauty with someone else. The return on these gestures is just about always greater than the effort put into them.

Note: When someone tells you not to bring a gift, they mean it.

Unfortunately, size matters when it comes to gifting. Here’s how to keep things under control.

Often, gift giving starts with a price range. That’s just reality. You can’t buy a beautiful new Tesla for your friend who has a hellishly long commute just because you know how much she would appreciate it. So, before you make any impulse purchases, ask yourself these four questions (and buy your friend a great pair of headphones instead):

1. Who is the recipient to you?

Is this person an immediate family member? A best friend? A new friend? A significant other? An extended family member? Your familial and emotional proximity will likely determine how personal and sizable the gift will be. Which is to say, you don’t need to book a spa package for a new friend , even if they really, really need to relax. Start with a stress ball.

2. What values is your relationship based on, and how can the gift reflect those values?

Some relationships trade in trendy meals, mutual love of garage rock or afternoons spent crafting around a coffee table. Some are incidental, rooted in proximity and pure chance, but nonetheless deep. Gift-giving can honor — in both obvious and subtle ways — the reasons you and your recipient are connected and how far your relationship has come. That said, if the primary facet of your relationship is humor, there’s nothing wrong with a gag gift.

3. What kind of generosity has this person shown you in the past?

Did they attend your wedding or your child’s birthday and go big? Reciprocity is always appropriate and can help narrow your search.

4. Is there something the person might appreciate more than a physical object?

Receiving gifts is not everyone’s love language. A home-cooked meal, or an offer to walk their teacup pig while they’re on vacation, might do more for your relationship than anything tied with a bow. Also, there’s never a clear price tag on these types of gestures, but the effort can make them quite valuable.

Find something they will love, even if they don’t know it yet.

The best gifts are surprising in a good way. You don’t want your spouse to wonder why you’ve given them the first four volumes of Robert Caro’s Lyndon B. Johnson biography for your wedding anniversary. So before you buy anything, consider these tips.

Think about the things they might need. Did they just move, adopt a pet or book an adventurous vacation? Gifting can be an opportunity to riff on the ways they’ve already spent their own money.

When someone says they want something , listen. There’s nothing quite like finally getting the thing you’ve been hinting at for months.

That said, don’t be overly practical . The point is to delight, not to restock your significant other’s toilet paper stash.

What would you want? Has the person ever complimented your taste? It’s possible that something on your own wish list would make a great I-didn’t-know-I-needed-this gift for a friend.

Consider the non-gift gift. Some people don’t want anything. But that doesn’t mean they don’t want anything . They just don’t want stuff. Experiences and perishables can be just as, and sometimes more, gratifying than a thing you have to keep forever, lest you insult an in-law.

Common Questions

Is a gift card ever acceptable? Sure, if it’s thoughtful, like a “go have a nice dinner at this fancy restaurant” gift certificate. What’s tricky is choosing a dollar amount that doesn’t force the recipient to spend too much of their own money at a specific place. That said, you shouldn’t spend more than your means, and as long as you keep in mind the recipient’s preferences, your gift should land. The etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore recommends writing a note to underscore the thought you put into the gesture.

Is regifting O.K.? Regifting isn’t always a cardinal sin . If you’ve received a gift that you’re sure someone else would love, why would you deprive them that small joy?

What if they hate the gift? Beware the possible misread. Is your recipient the kind of person who would take fancy soap the wrong way? If the answer is “maybe,” rethink the gift.

Gift wrap elevates the gifting experience and doesn’t have to be complicated.

Selecting a gift that your recipient will love is the hard part, so congratulations: You’re over the hump. Now it’s time to consider how you can elevate the gift through presentation. No one wants to be given a gift in a plastic bag with a receipt crinkled up at the bottom.

Does the gift need to be wrapped?

It’s a question whose answer is usually the same as the answer to another one: Is the gift alive? You needn’t wrap a plant or a puppy. But solid, inanimate objects are lent some intrigue when they are presented under wraps.

How to Wrap a Gift With No Paper

What is the best way to wrap it?

Does the object lend itself better to wrapping paper or tissue paper? This depends on whether the gift is hard or soft. Anything can be wrapped with sturdy paper if it is placed in a box. A jar of fancy jam, or a dry Riesling, on the other hand, would do better with tissue paper fastened with a bow. Bags are also an option, and if the recipient is resourceful, he or she will reuse the gift’s vessel.

How to wrap a box ( This video will help. ):

Materials: Gift, box (if gift is not box-shaped), paper, tape, scissors

Find a large, flat, clean surface to work on. (The floor is great. If you have a designated gift-wrapping room, that’s great too, but in that case you probably don’t need this advice.)

Spread out a sheet of wrapping paper and place the box on it facedown.

Wrap the paper loosely around the box to ensure that it will cover every side, then lay the paper flat again. If you’re using a roll of wrapping paper, cut the sheet to size. (Someone very smart came up with an equation for this.)

If the box is rectangular, turn it so that one of the shorter sides faces you.

Fold the left and right sides of the paper so that they overlap at the centerline of the box. The paper should be flush against the box so that it forms subtle creases along the edges.

Tape the overlapping sides of the paper together at the centerline.

Push the left and right sides of the wrapping paper in toward the side of the box that’s facing you, then press down on the top and bottom sides of the paper so that the paper forms 40-ish-degree angles.

Fold the top and bottom flaps toward each other and tape one over the other.

Repeat those steps on the remaining side of the box.

Take a second to admire your work.

How to wrap a bottle:

Materials: Wine bottle, tissue paper, ribbon/twine

You’ll also want a clean surface for this, but it only needs to be large enough to fit a standard sheet of tissue paper (20” x 26”).

Lay out two sheets of tissue paper on top of each other, and place the wine bottle in the middle of the top sheet.

Fold all of the sides upward toward the neck of the bottle, and secure them in a loose grip.

Tie ribbon or twine around the neck of the bottle to secure the paper.

Other wrapping tips for the less-talented among us:

Cellophane gift wrap , like the kind you see on raffle prizes, is forgiving of unsteady hands and looks great.

If you’re creatively inclined and willing to put in the time, Pinterest is full of whimsical ideas that are bound to delight.

Anything can be gift wrap, and since it usually all goes in the trash anyway it’s nice to start with something recycled. Some people use brown bags or newsprint.

Lots of retailers offer gift wrap for a fee. If you’re feeling very not confident in your skills, it’s worth it. And if it’s complimentary, definitely take it. It will save you time and money.

Do I need to write a note?

You should. It can be as short as a sentence or long as a full-blown letter. But it will lend emotional heft to an already-thoughtful gesture.

When do you deliver the gift?

If you can give a gift in person, it’s just about always worth doing so, if only to watch the recipient’s joy radiate. But if your dad’s birthday is next Tuesday, and you live an ocean away, you’re better off express mailing his gift. Some formal occasions have gift registries, in which case you’re better off ordering an item and having it delivered. That way, the happy couple won’t have to drive a U-haul worth of boxes home after their nuptials.

And always remember this about gift-giving:

● Giving anything is an act of kindness. Don’t stress over the specifics.

● Gift-giving is a love language, but it’s not everyone’s.

● Sometimes the best gift has no monetary value but is, instead, the free gift of presence.

The Importance of Presentation When Gift-Giving

There are many ways to incorporate our creativity when giving thanks and appreciation. The tradition of giving gifts is a tried and true staple of these values. While it has become a common practice, there is an importance of presentation when gift-giving that needs to be understood as a quintessential piece of the gift and thought itself.

Remembrance

If there is a personal transaction between two parties, where one party expects nothing in return, then something special is taking place. A large part of the appeal of gift-giving is that you’re also giving someone a memory—of the gift, but also of kindness.

The Message

Messages are often included with gifts. If the gift itself did not meet or exceed your expectations, you could be sure that the letter that came along with it will. The extra touch of personal sentiment means you’ve gone the extra mile to let the other party know you truly care.

Gift-giving is usually easy when you’re giving someone something out of kindness and thoughtfulness. However, if the gift is aimed more at that person’s interests and what you think they may like, then you could potentially risk getting the wrong thing.

This is where the uniqueness of the gift comes into play. One thing everyone fears is gifting the same gift someone else is already giving. Another is ending up with a gift unrelated to anything the recipient is interested in. So, there is a fine line to tread.

Dress for the Occasion

How we decorate our gift says a lot about the level of importance that went into the gift itself. Some people hold value in the decoration alone. Imagine what it would be like to be handed a gift without the wrapping and how not special that would feel—things would definitely become awkward. Make sure your gift is beautifully wrapped.

How do you put a value on a gift that has personal value to the gift-giver? Sometimes the simple things make the best gifts. For instance, gifting something that’s handmade is something of a rarity in this age but still holds a lot of weight.

Maybe your wrapping and ribbon skills are lacking, but if you are good with your hands, then the gift can speak for itself. Some of the best gifts are those that catch us by surprise and awe us day in and out.

The beautiful wrapping and packaging are something that people look forward to just as much as, if not more, than the gift itself. If we understand that the importance of presentation when gift-giving as individual and unique as anything else, then we understand what it means to give and receive.

Why Gift Presentation Matters

Most of us have experienced the moment when someone brings out their gift for a holiday or event with its wrapping or presentation being flawless. Whether it involved a big reveal, the classic gift within a gift surprise, or the crisply wrapped gift decorated with fresh greenery or bows, these well executed gift presentations always garner attention. I myself (being self-conscience of course) would be quick to say, “it’s not about how the gift is wrapped or presented, it’s about the gift itself!” This type of statement obviously fuels my bias since I’m officially known as the family’s “worst gift-wrapper.”

Many of us are either obsessed with perfectly wrapped gifts or we despise the whole idea of planning how to present a gift. If you think I’m joking, then take a look at this article that contains only 10 words and a short clip of gifts being impeccably wrapped that got over 200,000 shares. Furthermore, I’m sure many of us remember the show Extreme Makeovers: Home Edition , which revolved around the moment when the gift (in this case a newly renovated house) is revealed from behind a moving bus. Although many of us are bias when it comes to how a gift should be presented based on our personalities or gift-wrapping skills, there has been some research that sheds some light on the effects of how a gift is presented.

The Sheepskin Bicycle Cover Experiment

In 1992 Daniel Howard, a marketing professor at Southern Methodist University, published a study that sought to determine if gift wrapping positively affects the recipient’s attitude toward possessing a gift. Like many psychological studies, there are often sleights that trick the participants into giving a more accurate response. This one was no different. One of the experiments asked students to evaluate four different products in exchange for a free gift. Before leaving the room, the students were asked to rate the gift they received, which happened to be what the whole experiment was about. What did they receive? A sheepskin bicycle cover. What is even more interesting is that the students who received the bicycle cover that was gift-wrapped rated the gift significantly higher than those who received the gift in a plastic bag. Another experiment tested the effect of the quality of wrapping paper on how the recipient perceived the gift. This yielded similar results. Even the gifts wrapped in cheap brown paper were rated higher than those not wrapped at all.

Preference & Cultural Expectations

Another research paper produced by the Bond Business School shows that the majority of people prefer to have their gifts wrapped. Although there may be outliers like myself, it seems that it's usually safe to go ahead and add those final touches. It also elaborates on the fact that presenting or wrapping a gift is both a social signal of the item being a gift and a cultural expectation in most parts of the world. This can be especially true in Eastern cultures where the way a gift is presented or the color of its wrapping paper can communicate different messages .

Taking Gift Presentation More Seriously

“Dr. Howard argues that gift wrapping not only affects the perceived value and ownership of a gift, but it also affects the mood and attitudes of the recipients.

So, what does this all mean? Well, Dr. Howard argues that gift wrapping not only affects the perceived value and ownership of a gift, but it also affects the mood and attitudes of the recipients. Furthermore, gift wrapping itself often will cue a happy or positive mood among the recipients because of its association with happy moments in many individuals' lives. Some even argue that a gifts value is greatly diminished just by the lack of gift-wrapping. This means that when we consider giving someone a gift for a corporate event, client milestone, or employee anniversary, we should seriously consider how it is presented.

It's All About Relationships

Although not all gifts can or should be wrapped, Dr. Howard’s experiment shows that how you present a gift plays a significant role in how the recipient is affected by it. So, before you decide to just hand over your next gift, consider how you can present it so that it’s memorable and will generate the positive response you’re hoping for. At the end of the day it’s all about the recipient and your unique relationship with them, so consider capitalizing on this opportunity next time you give a gift.

Unwrap Your Creativity: DIY Gift Presentation Ideas

Introduction: the art of diy gift presentation ideas.

Gift presentation is not just about wrapping gifts, it's an art form that adds a personal touch to your presents.

Whether it's a Christmas tree ornament or a small gift for a baby shower, creative gift-wrapping ideas can make your gift stand out.

The Charm of Personalized Wrapping Paper

Transforming everyday items into personalized wrapping paper is a creative and cost-effective way to present your gifts.

Here, we explore how you can repurpose brown paper bags, butcher paper, and plain kraft paper into beautiful and unique gift wraps.

Brown Paper Bags

Brown paper bags are often overlooked as a gift-wrapping option. However, their rustic charm and durability make them perfect for wrapping gifts.

You can keep it simple by using the bag as is, or cut it open to create a flat sheet for wrapping.

Butcher Paper

Butcher paper, with its clean and smooth surface, provides a blank canvas for your creativity.

Use colored markers, paints, or even crayons to create custom designs that reflect the personality of the recipient.

From doodles and sketches to handwritten messages, the possibilities are endless.

Plain Kraft Paper

Plain kraft paper is another excellent choice for DIY gift wrap.

Its neutral color makes it versatile for any occasion, and it pairs well with ribbons and bows of all colors.

Try creating patterns with stamps, stencils, or freehand drawing for a unique look.

Incorporating Letter Stickers or Handmade Designs

To make your gift wrap even more special, consider incorporating letter stickers or handmade designs. Letter stickers can be used to spell out the recipient's name or a heartfelt message.

This not only personalizes the gift but also adds a three-dimensional element to your wrapping paper.

Handmade designs, like those inspired by Charlotte's handiwork, offer a touch of craftsmanship and sophistication. These can be intricate patterns, cute characters, or beautiful florals.

You could use craft paint, fine-tip markers, or even collage techniques to create these designs.

Remember, the key to a successful DIY gift wrap is to let your creativity shine. It's not about perfection, but about infusing your love and care into every fold and crease of the wrapping paper. So, the next time you're wrapping a gift, consider reaching for that brown paper bag or roll of butcher paper and let your imagination run wild.

DIY Gift Presentation Ideas: Turning Ordinary into Extraordinary

Traditional wrapping paper, with its standard prints and patterns, can often feel a bit impersonal. However, you don't have to settle for ordinary when you can easily transform these papers into extraordinary gift wraps.

Here's how you can use washi tape, baker's twine, or pom poms to give your gifts a festive and unique look.

Washi Tape Wonders

Washi tape, originating from Japan, is a versatile crafting material that comes in an array of colors, patterns, and widths.

This decorative adhesive tape can be used to add pops of color, create geometric designs, or even spell out words and names on your gift wrap.

For example, you can use washi tape to create a plaid pattern on plain wrapping paper or use different tapes to outline the shape of a Christmas tree or a heart.

The possibilities are endless, and the best part is, it's easy to apply and remove without damaging the paper.

Baker's Twine Twist

Baker's twine, traditionally used in baking for tying boxes of baked goods, has found a new life in the craft world. Its simple, twisted two-tone design adds a charming touch to any gift.

You can use it to tie a bow around your wrapped gift or get more creative by using it to create string art designs on the wrapping paper.

Wrapping the twine multiple times around the gift can also create a unique and visually appealing effect.

Pom Pom Pop

Pom poms bring a fun, playful element to gift wrapping. These fluffy balls can be purchased pre-made in craft stores or can be DIYed at home with yarn or fabric.

Attach a single pom pom in place of a traditional bow for a modern look, or glue multiple pom poms onto the wrapping paper for a whimsical, 3D polka dot effect.

For Christmas presents, white pom poms can mimic the look of snowballs, adding a festive touch to your gift.

By incorporating these elements, you can transform traditional wrapping paper into something truly extraordinary and personalized. Remember, gift wrapping is an extension of the gift itself, and these creative embellishments can show the recipient how much thought and care you've put into their gift before they even open it.

So, let your creativity shine, and start transforming your gift wraps today!

Gift Wrapping Ideas: A Touch of Personality

From studio DIY projects to Frog Prince paperie tutorials, there are countless ways to add personality to your gift wrap.

Don't be afraid to experiment and create your own wrapping paper.

Exploring the Versatility of Gift Wrap

Gift wrap comes in various forms, from paper bags to custom paper and even construction paper.

Use these materials to wrap gifts in unique and creative ways.

Transforming Tissue Paper into Stunning Gift Wraps

Tissue paper, often used to stuff gift bags or protect delicate items, holds untapped potential for creative gift wrapping. With a bit of imagination and a few folding techniques, this lightweight paper can transform into an attractive gift wrap or a decorative element on a gift box.

Here's how you can elevate your gift presentation with tissue paper:

Tissue paper is not typically strong enough to use as the primary wrapping material for a gift, but there are ways around this. You can layer multiple sheets of tissue paper to create a more durable and opaque wrapping surface.

Choose colors that complement each other for a layered effect, or stick with one color for a more classic look.

Another idea is to wrap your gift in a solid color paper first, then add a layer of tissue paper on top. This not only adds an extra layer of protection but also creates a soft, ethereal look.

For a more dramatic effect, try using patterned tissue paper over a solid color.

The beauty of using tissue paper is its flexibility and affordability. So don't be afraid to experiment with different colors, patterns, and techniques.

With a bit of creativity, you can turn every gift into a work of art.

DIY Gift Presentation Ideas: Utilizing Ribbons and Bows

Ribbons and bows are classic gift-wrapping elements.

You can create your own using materials from your craft closet, like a beautiful mess of colorful fabrics.

Types of Corporate Gifts

If you're looking for corporate gifts , you can consider items like personalized pens or custom-made notebooks . These types of gifts are not only practical but also offer a personal touch. Another option you might want to consider is including a gift card or gift certificate, allowing the recipient the freedom to choose their own gift. To enhance the presentation of your corporate gift, you can opt for a gift box or gift wrapping. These add an extra layer of elegance and professionalism to your gift. Whether you're looking to express gratitude to a client or reward your employees , corporate gifts play a significant role. By selecting the right type of gift and paying attention to its presentation, you can create a positive and lasting impression.

Corporate Gifting

When it comes to corporate gifting , it is important to understand the policies not regarding such gifts. Knowing the appropriate use of corporate gifts and the limitations surrounding them is key to maintaining professionalism and compliance with laws and regulations. By familiarizing yourself with these guidelines, you can ensure that your corporate gifting practices align with industry standards and legal requirements.

Policies Regarding Corporate Gifts

To ensure compliance with company policies, make sure you consult the guidelines regarding corporate gifts . Proper etiquette is crucial when it comes to the presentation of gifts in a corporate setting. It is important to be mindful of the recipient's preferences and any cultural considerations . When selecting a gift, opt for something practical and useful that aligns with the recipient's interests or needs. Avoid giving fragile items that may break during transport or require excessive care. Additionally, it is essential to adhere to any spending limits set by your company. Remember that corporate gifting is an opportunity to build and strengthen professional relationships, so take the time to consider the appropriateness and significance of the gift. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your corporate gifts are well-received and reflect positively on both you and your company.

Appropriate Use of Corporate Gifts

It's important to consider the appropriateness of the gift in a professional setting. When presenting a corporate gift, make sure it aligns with the recipient's values and preferences. A proper gift demonstrates thoughtfulness and respect. Before choosing a gift, consider the recipient's interests, hobbies, and professional background. This will help you select something meaningful and relevant. Additionally, presentation is key. Take the time to wrap the gift neatly and professionally, using high-quality materials. This shows that you value the recipient and the occasion . When delivering the gift, it's best to do it in person whenever possible. This allows for a personal touch and shows your dedication to the relationship. Remember, a well-chosen and well-presented corporate gift can strengthen professional connections and leave a lasting impression.

Limitations on Corporate Gifting

Make sure you understand the restrictions and guidelines surrounding corporate gifting to ensure you stay within the appropriate boundaries. When choosing a corporate gift , it's important to find the perfect gift that aligns with your recipient's interests and values. Fortunately, there is a wide range of options available to suit any price range. Consider exploring an online retailer that offers a variety of corporate gifts, allowing you to find something unique and thoughtful. One popular choice is a gift basket, which can be customized to include items that cater to the recipient's preferences. However, it's crucial to be mindful of any limitations on corporate gifting, such as maximum value limits or restrictions on certain industries. By staying within these guidelines, you can provide a meaningful gift while maintaining your professional integrity.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations Concerning Corporate Gifting

Complying with laws and regulations is essential when giving corporate gifts. It ensures that your gestures are well-received and avoid any legal complications. Understanding the rules surrounding corporate gifting is crucial for maintaining a positive and ethical business image.

When it comes to compliance, it's important to familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations regarding corporate gifting. Some countries have strict limits on the value of gifts that can be given or received, while others prohibit certain types of gifts altogether. By staying informed, you can avoid any potential legal issues and maintain a transparent and trustworthy relationship with your clients and partners.

Proper presentation and delivery of gifts also play a significant role in compliance. Be mindful of cultural norms and practices when presenting gifts, ensuring that they are appropriate and respectful. Additionally, always disclose any conflicts of interest or potential biases that may arise from giving or receiving gifts.

Gift Recipients and Delivery Methods

When choosing the right recipient for a gift, there are several considerations to keep in mind. You want to ensure that the gift is appropriate for the person's interests, preferences, and relationship to you. Additionally, it's important to think about the occasion and the message you want to convey through the gift. Once you have selected the perfect recipient, there are various ways to deliver the gift. You can choose to personally present it, have it delivered through a courier service, or send it electronically if it's a digital gift. The method of delivery should align with the recipient's preferences and the nature of the gift itself.

Considerations for Choosing the Right Recipient for a Gift

Choosing the right recipient for your corporate gift can greatly impact the effectiveness and success of your gesture. When considering who to give the gift to, think about the purpose of the gift and the message you want to convey. For example, if you are giving gifts for speakers at a conference, you may want to consider gifts that are practical and useful for their profession. Some guest speaker gift ideas could include personalized notebooks, high-quality pens, or even gift cards to bookstores. It's important to also think about the recipient's preferences and interests to ensure they will truly appreciate the gift. Lastly, don't forget to add a personal touch to the gift, whether it's a handwritten note or a customized message. Remember, the key is to choose a recipient who will truly value and appreciate your gesture.

Different Ways to Deliver a Gift to the Recipient

One option for delivering a gift to the recipient is by personally handing it to them. This method allows for direct interaction and a personal touch, making it ideal for special occasions or when you want to make a lasting impression. Another way to deliver a gift is by mail or courier service. This is a convenient option, especially for corporate gifts or when distance is a factor. Ensure that the gift is securely packaged to avoid any damage during transit. Additionally, you can consider using online gift delivery services. These platforms offer a wide range of thoughtful gifts for various occasions and provide a hassle-free experience. Whichever method you choose, remember to consider the recipient's preferences and the occasion to ensure the proper presentation and delivery of your gift.

Perfecting the Gift Presentation & Delivery Process

When it comes to gift-giving, adding a personal touch can make all the difference. Learn how to make your gift stand out from others by incorporating unique elements that resonate with the recipient. Whether you choose to take advantage of professional wrapping services or opt for DIY-wrapping ideas, the presentation can greatly enhance the overall gift-giving experience. Additionally, thinking ahead and preparing in advance for events, holidays, or special occasions can ensure that your gifts are timely and well-received.

Personal Touch: How to Make Your Gift Stand Out From Others

To make your gift stand out from others, it's important to add a personal touch that shows you care. When selecting a gift, consider the recipient's interests, hobbies, or preferences. For a personal gift, choose something meaningful or nostalgic that will evoke emotions and create a lasting memory. If you're aiming for a romantic gift, opt for something intimate and thoughtful, like a handwritten love letter or a surprise date night. Adding a personal touch could also involve presenting the gift in a custom gift box, tailored to the recipient's taste or style. Another nice surprise could be to include a handwritten note or a small, heartfelt message expressing your appreciation. Remember, it's not always about the most expensive item, but the thought and effort put into the gift that truly makes it special.

Taking Advantage of Wrapping Services or DIY-Wrapping Ideas

Now that you have learned how to make your gift stand out with a personal touch, let's explore another aspect of proper gift presentation: taking advantage of wrapping services or DIY-wrapping ideas. When it comes to gifts for a guest speaker or a guest of government, especially on formal occasions, the presentation is crucial. Wrapping services can offer a professional touch, ensuring that your gift looks elegant and polished. However, if you prefer a more personal approach, DIY-wrapping ideas can also be a great option. You can use eco-friendly materials such as recycled paper or fabric to create unique and environmentally-conscious wrapping. Whether you choose professional wrapping or DIY, remember that the way you present your gift reflects your thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

Thinking Ahead: Preparing in Advance for Events, Holidays, etc.

Planning in advance for events and holidays is a smart way to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Whether you're hosting a dinner party, attending a holiday party, or looking for the perfect engagement gift, thinking ahead can save you time and hassle. By considering the upcoming gifting occasion, you can start brainstorming ideas, researching options, and even purchasing items ahead of time. For example, if you know you'll be attending a conference and want to give conference speaker gifts, you can plan in advance by researching the speakers and their interests. This way, you'll have a better understanding of what kind of gift would be meaningful to them. By preparing in advance, you'll avoid last-minute stress and have the freedom to choose the perfect gift for any occasion.

Presents She'll Treasure

Creative Ways to Give a Gift – Unique Presentation Ideas

Home » DIY Gifts » Creative Ways to Give a Gift – Unique Presentation Ideas

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. What does that mean?

So you’ve found the perfect gift, and hopefully selected a card. I’m sure that the recipient will be appreciative however you choose to give it to her.

Rather than just handing her the gift at the usual time, you could go a step further and make the presentation extra special. Here are some memorable gift presentation ideas:

Unique Gift Wrapping Ideas

Four ways to give a gift for new moms or moms-to-be, 1. the diaper package.

When I was about 200 months pregnant with my 3rd child (at least it felt like I had been pregnant that long), my husband gave me for Christmas a beautifully wrapped package. When I unwrapped the gift, I found a newborn diaper all bundled up just like you do with a used diaper. (He had even added a little mustard to the diaper to make it look realistic)

Fortunately, when I opened the diaper, I found a lovely jewelry box with a beautiful pair of diamond earrings inside. My husband, kid, and parents all had a great laugh at the icky expression on my face when I found the “used” diaper – and I had a wonderful pair of earrings!

2.  The Gift Inside a Gift Trick

Part of the fun of getting a present is unwrapping. You can keep the joy going by putting your present inside a larger box and wrapping the larger box nicely.

Then put that box inside a larger box, and wrap the larger box. Continue going as many times as you’d like – I’d suggest 3 or 4 boxes.

3.  The Fake Size Gift Box Trick

This is especially good for when you think the recipient might have some idea as to what the gift is. Simply place the present in a much larger than it actually needs.

The trick here is to also add enough weight to the box so that when the recipient picks up the box, the extra weight fools her. For example, my mother once thought that she was getting silverware for Christmas (which she actually was).

When I wrapped the present, I put it in a box that originally held a sleeping bag. I then added a few weights from my brother’s weight set so that the box was very heavy. As a final touch, I wrote “fragile” on the gift tag.

Mom spent quite a bit of time that year trying to figure out what gift could be so heavy yet also fragile – and she was quite surprised when she opened it to find silverware (either that, or she’s a wonderful actress)!

4.  Inside a Book

If you’re giving her tickets, a gift card, or another flat gift, you could always tuck the present inside a book and then wrap the book nicely.

Then she’ll have the fun of reading the book as well as enjoying the actual present itself.

Fun Ways to Give Her a Gift

1.  treasure hunt.

My best friend’s husband actually proposed to her this way! I liked the idea so much that I used it several times with my kids, who loved finding their presents this way.

This one can take a little bit – or a lot – of planning, depending upon how you do it. The easiest way is to simply write clues on decorative notes or pieces of paper that direct her to other clues. The final clue will lead to the gift.

If your treasure hunt only takes place in your house or apartment, then it just takes a little while to prepare the treasure hunt.

You could go all out and hide clues throughout the neighborhood or town. You can then walk or drive (or better yet, splurge on a limousine) to the different locations.

Obviously, this method will take a bit of time as you have to place the clues all over town before the event. It’s definitely a memory that she will enjoy for years to come – and you’ll get major boyfriend/husband points in the process!

2.  On the Cake

Most gift-giving occasions call for a cake of some sort. If you’re giving her something small such as a ring, you could gently set the gift on top of her piece of cake before serving her.

3.  In a Drink

This is another fun way to give jewelry…simply drop the jewelry into the glass before you give it to her. Be sure that the glass is clear and the beverage is light colored so that she will see the gift rather than gulp it down!

Unique Times to Give a Present

You probably have a traditional time to open gifts. In our family, birthday gifts are opened in the evening once everyone is home from school or work.

Breaking out of the gift-giving time rut is an easy way to add excitement to the occasion. Here are some unique times to give gifts:

• First thing in the morning: Start her day off right by bringing her a cup of coffee and her gift while she’s still in bed. If it’s a workday, be sure to allow a little extra time to enjoy the moment rather than being rushed.
• In the bathroom: Most women have a makeup kit or a drawer where they store all their toiletries. Put her present in that kit or drawer so that she finds it while she’s getting ready in the morning.
• In the car: Place her present on the dashboard of her car for her to be surprised with as she leaves the house. Don’t put it on the car seat; she may not look before sitting down – you don’t want a squashed present!
• At the office: Have a co-worker slip a gift onto her desk or into the drawer that she stores supplies or her purse in.
• In the kitchen: Surprise her by placing the gift in an unexpected place, such as the refrigerator or in a cupboard that you know that she’ll look in during the day.

28 Great Gifts for Guest Speakers and Conference Presenters – Find the Perfect Thank You for Guest Speakers & Keynotes

Giving a speech at your event may bring monetary rewards, or may just help speakers create community in their sphere of expertise while amplifying their product, company, or ideas. Either way, they can all use special touches to make them feel welcome and appreciated. Make your event a great experience instead of just a job with gifts for guest speakers that remind them of your event and encourage them to return.

Speaker gifts can be given at any time throughout your speaker’s stay. Hotel welcome swag and room drop gift baskets are a great way to start things off on a positive note, whether they include something that presenters will use during their speech, self-care items to help them relax after a long day of travel, or some snacks and drinks so they’ll have something to munch on while they finish last-minute preparations. You can also give gifts after the speech or mail gifts a few days after the event.

Pre-Event Gift Ideas

When someone speaks at your event, you develop a relationship with them. And they’ll form first impressions of you and your organization as soon as they get in contact with you. The best relationships are based on mutual appreciation and support – so let your presenter know that you appreciate their time and effort before the event.

Pre-event gifts for speakers might be a good idea, especially if the presentation will take place in a virtual environment. In some ways, speeches over video calls are more difficult than in-person presentations, so consider helping your presenter out with speaker gift ideas that will be helpful during a virtual presentation.

Conference speaker gifts don’t necessarily need to be a physical package mailed to your speaker or handed to them at the event. Give them some publicity on your website by creating a profile page for your speaker, linking to their website, LinkedIn, and social media accounts. Speakers appreciate free publicity especially if they’re just getting started – it might be the turning point in their career. And because audience engagement is a crucial aspect of any speech, getting the audience hyped by publicizing an upcoming speech will do some of the work for your speaker.

Finally, if your speaker is going to be traveling to speak at your event, travel-related guest speaker gifts will definitely get used. Tech accessories like powerbanks and chargers are always a good option, and our Tenfour 10400 mAh Powerbank makes charging quick and convenient with multiple charging ports. It’s sure to come in handy when they’re in the airport, at the event itself, and when they’re home again.

Check out our travel gear and other travel gifts for public speakers:

1 . Tenfour 10400 mAh Powerbank

2 . 3-in-1 Travel Charger

3 . 16 oz Thermos® Stainless King™ Travel Mug

4 . Field & Co.® Classic Duffle Bag

5 . Zoom Kit

6 . Jetsetter 3 Piece Packing Cube Set

7 . Anti-Theft Travel Backpack

8 . Auburn Tri-Fold Wireless Desk Pad

Gifts for Arrival Day

If it’s too late to send out a pre-event gift, its still the perfect time for an arrival gift or room drop gift . Put together a welcome basket with toiletries, snacks, and other immediately useful items for a thoughtful and welcoming speaker gift. Complete the basket with a custom printed gift item to act as a keepsake or souvenir. Welcome baskets might save them a few trips to the gas station, grocery, or convenience store to pick up those little items that always get forgotten.

Motivational speakers might need a little boost of positivity the night before their speech, whether they’re feeling nervous, tired, or excited. Consider gifts printed with inspirational sayings as part of your gifts for motivational speakers to get them in the right frame of mind. If you want to make it more personal, handwrite a note to your speaker and get them reassured and hyped for the big day.

Traveling is exhausting, and it’s important that your guest speaker gets a good night’s sleep before showtime. Prevent jet lag with The Works Spa Mix , an unusual guest speaker gift idea that includes natural lip balm, hand and body lotion, moisturizing hand sanitizer, a relaxing candle, and fabric spray – all contained in a customizable jute bag.

Discover other ways to welcome them with our arrival day speaker present ideas:

9 . R&R Sound Machine

10 . Sleep In Kit

11 . 20 oz MiiR® Vacuum Insulated Wide Mouth Bottle

12 . Batch & Bodega Trailblazer - Deluxe

13 . The Works Spa Mix

14 . Batch & Bodega Small Gift Box - Kit 4 3pk of Large Jars

15 . Cozy Comfort Coffee Kit

16 . Sweet Retreat Gift Box

Gifts for Use During the Event

If you need ideas for a guest speaker gift at the event itself, consider first the gift of positive publicity. Make sure to have your event covered on social media. Your team can create videos, photos, and news stories to post in real-time. If it looks like there’s enough interest, consider live streaming your event. This kind of coverage may do a lot to benefit your speaker’s PR, especially if your business has a solid following. After all, not everyone can make it to the event itself – but if people can follow it from home, your presenter can communicate to a much larger audience. And if you’re struggling to find a good gift for a guest speaker that isn’t your typical t-shirt or company swag, publicity might be that unique gift – and it’ll keep on giving long after the applause dies down.

Before or after the speech are more opportunities to hand out event giveaways . Speakers are likely to get a lot of T-shirts and mugs, and while these might be great options, they’re not particularly memorable (unless you nail the design). Do something a little different by gifting a high-quality quarter-zip or hoodie – especially if you’re located in a colder area or your event is scheduled for the winter months. Or go beyond the classic mug with high-quality drinkware like our 16 oz Corkcicle® Canteen , which is BPA-free, vacuum-sealed, and triple-insulated. Presenters will be proud to carry this unique water bottle at your event and in the airport on the way home.

Consider these other speaker gifts for conferences:

17 . Roma Tech Charger Portfolio

18 . 16 oz Corkcicle® Canteen

19 . Native Union Belt Duo Pro Universal Cable

20 . Men's Sandylake Roots73 F/Z Hoody

Goodbye Gifts

Continue that final round of applause with goodbye gifts for conference speakers. The end of their stay is the perfect time to say thank you to your speaker at the conference, let them know that you thought their presentation was amazing, and potentially invite them back for a second one. Consider giving a memento of some kind that will remind them of the great experience they had at your event.

When you’re thinking of great goodbye gifts for keynote speakers, you’ll want to find a design that’s classy, modern, and subtle. After all, your speaker is a professional – and they might not be able to use conference presenter gifts that look cheap or that feature a loud and flashy logo. Our Moleskine® Hard Cover Grand Notebook is classy enough for any professional and makes a great place to capture all the random thoughts and inspirations that come to them. Consider an elegant debossed imprint, or subdued color combination like silver or gray printing on a black cover.

You’ll also want to take into account that your speaker may be traveling home, and thus might have only limited luggage space. For air travelers, consider our Quarx Wireless ANC Earbuds as compact speaker thank-you gifts – they can fit in a pocket, and they make a great travel gift for the flight back.

21 . Rocketbook Everlast Letter

22 . Quarx Wireless ANC Earbuds

23 . Men's Ogio® Luuma 1/2-Zip Fleece

24 . Moleskine® Hard Cover Grand Notebook

Follow Up Thank You Gifts After the Show

Sometimes personalization is the best way to thank a speaker. Incorporate customization into the gifts you hand out and follow up with your presenter by sending them a handwritten thank you card. It only takes a few minutes to write out some heartfelt appreciation and it barely costs anything – and it may mean more to your presenter than expensive corporate gifts .

On a similar note, thank your guest speakers more publicly on social media to give them the exposure they deserve. Connect with them on LinkedIn, tag them in photos, and let the professional world know how amazing they were. Highlight attendee reviews so that your presenter’s name and website will be easier to find. Finally, help your speaker get future bookings with word-of-mouth referrals.

For speakers who are flying or driving in for your event, it’s considerate to remember that they have only limited space. Large items, like our Vinglace Wine Gift Set , can still make a great thank-you gift for a guest speaker, but think about mailing big gifts after the event instead of sending them with your speaker.

Mail these other keynote speaker gift ideas to your presenter after the event’s over:

25 . Modern Sprout® Glow & Grow Live Well Gift Set

26 . Mini Sono™ Wireless Speaker

27 . Vinglace Wine Bottle Insulator @ 2 Glass Gift Set

28 . Munch Appreciated Gift Box

If you’re looking to purchase gifts for only a few conference presenters, look for items that you can customize at a small minimum quantity of one to five. Or it might be a good idea to prep for multiple years by purchasing the best conference speaker gifts you can find in bulk and only including the name of your event or organization. In that case, leave off dates and other specific information. Ordering in large batches opens up a variety of choices and helps you save on bulk orders.

A new exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum explores the creative practice of Amish quilters in the United States. “ Pattern and Paradox: The Quilts of Amish Women ” looks beyond quilting as a utilitarian practice. It reveals historical quilting among the Amish as an aesthetic endeavor that walked a line between cultural and individual expression. The quilts paradoxically twin the plain with the spectacular, tradition with innovation, and a dismissal of personal pride with objects often seen as extraordinary artworks.

The exhibition is on view from March 28 through Aug. 26 at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s main building in Washington, D.C. It is organized by Leslie Umberger, curator of folk and self-taught art, and Virginia Mecklenburg, senior curator, with support from Anne Hyland, curatorial assistant. Janneken Smucker, cultural historian and professor of history at West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania, is the primary author of the exhibition catalog and contributed to the exhibition; she is a fifth-generation Mennonite quilt maker of Amish Mennonite heritage.

The exhibition celebrates a major gift announced in 2021 of Amish quilts to the museum by Faith and Stephen Brown. They began collecting quilts in 1977, four years after encountering Amish quilts for the first time at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery in the exhibition “American Pieced Quilts.” The 50 quilts featured in “Pattern and Paradox” include 39 from the museum’s collection and 11 promised gifts. Around 100 additional quilts from the Browns’ exemplary collection are promised to the museum as a bequest.

“Faith and Stephen Brown assembled this extraordinary collection with care and devotion over some four decades after a revelatory visit to the Renwick Gallery. It comprises the largest and most widely representative group of Amish quilts ever to be acquired by a major art museum,” said Stephanie Stebich, the Margaret and Terry Stent Director. “Their generous gift reaffirms SAAM’s long-standing commitment to equity in representation for art and artists and brings sharply into focus the complexity and importance of exhibiting diverse cultures in the museum setting.”

In the late 19th century, Amish women adopted an artform already established within the larger American culture and made it distinctly their own, developing community and familial preferences with women sharing work, skills and patterns. The quilts in “Pattern and Paradox” were made between 1880 and 1950 in communities united by faith, values of conformity and humility and a rejection of “worldly” society. No specific guidelines governed quilt patterns or colors, so Amish women explored uncharted territory, pushing cultural limitations by innovating within a community that values adherence to rules. Styles, patterns and color preferences eventually varied and distinguished the various settlements, but it was the local quilters who drove and set the standards.  

Today, Amish quilts present a particular quandary for art museums and audiences. By the mid-20th century, Amish quilts were increasingly being shown in museums. 

“‘Pattern and Paradox’ invites viewers to consider the dual identity of Amish quilts,” Umberger said. “These objects traveled into the art world in the late 20th century, but the Amish women who made them never intended them to be seen as artworks. Audiences and collectors responded to the striking color combinations and inventive abstract patterns, but the Amish were uneasy with the idea of having made and possessing museum-worthy, valuable artworks and began divesting of these quilts. Seen here, hanging on the gallery walls like paintings, they prompt us to consider the subjectivity of words like ‘artist’ and ‘art’ and consider how cultural perspective can transform one’s understanding of an object.” 

Although vintage quilts remain among the most recognized manifestations of Amish culture, they represent the historical, localized trends of only a finite period from a living and changing culture. The exhibition celebrates the quilts, the women who made them, the collectors who preserved and donated them, and considers the unique role of Amish quilts in American art today, roughly a century after those in this collection were made.

Book The accompanying catalog, published by the Smithsonian American Art Museum in association with D Giles Limited, is written by Smucker with an introduction by Umberger. It will be available for purchase ($34.95) in the museum store and online .
