Gift-impression: features and best ideas
Think about your very best gifts. Even if it is a completely tangible, material present, what warms the soul when remembering it? Of course, an impression, surprise, emotion, a sense of surprise. This is what remains in the memory for a long time, and I want to return it, repeat it, live it again. Completely understandable psychological mechanisms are included. That is why today people are so active in giving each other a gift-impression. Surprise, delight, offer to live something unknown until this moment - emotional gifts at a great price.
Women's classic
Not all women are ready to make extreme adventures, overcome obstacles associated with a serious challenge to themselves. If you are not sure that your relative or friend is ready for such extreme, offer her something more predictable, but no less pleasant. For example, going to a beauty salon. Whatever one may say, but so few women will give up the time, which is devoted only to them.
What could it be.
- Hairdressing services. You can present the certificate to a specific hairdresser. And if the recipient of the gift is not going to change the image, then most likely he will not refuse caring procedures. For some, such a gift will be an excellent impetus for external transformations, which often lead to internal, long-overdue changes.
- Spa. Someone is simply embarrassed to go there, mistakenly believing that this is a place for long-legged successful beauties. But every woman should visit the spa - at least in order to experience new emotions, to know herself, to accept this opportunity of care and concern. A spa day is a gift that can be a little thrilling, but it will be a pleasant experience (and rewarding for self-esteem).
- Stylist consultation. For many years, many women wear something that does not suit them, choose the wrong hairstyles, and do not even know their color type. But even if the one you are going to bestow is in harmony with her appearance, a stylist's consultation is always a powerful informational impetus, it is like a mirror that also suggests “how it should be”. For some, such a meeting may turn out to be a shock, but global, positive changes will follow.
- Master class from a make-up artist. A popular service today: a few hours - and you are ready to put on your basic makeup. Or maybe not just basic? Maybe - festive or in fashionable colors now? In short, there is always a choice. But it is a useful practice to learn to use what stylists in fashion magazines and bloggers use, but an “ordinary woman” almost never knows how to do.
Many ladies who are presented with surprises for extreme lovers (from jumping with a parachute to driving a tank) would respond with much greater pleasure to a beauty proposal.
Quest stories
Quest is an adventure, search game on a variety of topics. There are quests exclusively intellectual: you do not need to jump, run, physically overcome obstacles - you just need to solve intellectual problems, showing and pumping your erudition. Such quests are very different in scale, for example, they are often organized at work to rally the corporate spirit. But there are quests where it is very difficult to meet a colleague.
If you can imagine that your loved one will like such a gift, the idea is worth considering.
But there are quests of a different nature: they do not need knowledge, but rather ingenuity, dexterity, speed of reaction. And physical strength is also needed there. The best entertainment is those that are organized by large companies or those that have earned a good reputation. If the quests are extreme, you must be sure that the organizer has foreseen everything for safety. Alas, there are cases when people were injured as a result of quests, there are also victims of quests (associated with fire and the inability to get out of the room).
Finally, you can start organizing the quest yourself. Let it not be large-scale, but you can certainly organize small adventures for a loved one. Even at home you can do a mini-quest: hide the main gift so that it would be unrealistic to find it quickly. A person can find a gift only by following a chain of several steps. The steps are equipped with your prompts. For example: "Step 1. Look in the house for something where the lines of the hit by Frank Sinatra will be written." And the quest participant suddenly finds a postcard with the words Let it snow. And then - as far as imagination is enough!
And it is no longer so important how valuable the main gift is: the way to it will cheer up a person, invigorate and become a pleasant adventure.
Travel
What could be better than a change of environment, "transfer" yourself to a completely different geographical context? Travel is a costly gift, but its value is difficult to compare with anything. No wonder they say that nowhere do we know ourselves so well as in a new place, in a new country. And parents who give their children a trip as a wedding gift are doing the right thing. Only such gifts can be not only for newlyweds.
What not to do:
- give a tour to an exotic country if you are not sure that a person will like such a vacation;
- give a gift not in full - for example, if you paid for a hotel stay or something like that, and for the rest the person has to look for money on his own (this can put him in an uncomfortable position);
- do not agree on travel dates - a surprise can become unpleasant if you did not know for sure about the plans and opportunities of a loved one.
Of course, such serious gifts require approval. But there are stories when a gift is definitely what a person dreams of, but financial capabilities do not yet allow this to be done.For example, your relative is a climber (possibly a beginner). And he dreams of making an ascent to a particular peak, but the question comes down to money. If you have the opportunity to present such a gift, you can contact the companies organizing mountain expeditions.
This is not just a trip - this is a dream, which, it turns out, can also be gifted.
Popular options
A very frequent request lately is a hot air balloon flight for two. Many young people choose this option in order to literally marry in heaven - well, if not a marriage, then make an offer to their beloved in flight.
Another interesting story is flying in a wind tunnel. Such a gift will suit even older children: this attraction is supervised by an instructor, so the danger is reduced to zero.
Aquapark - entertainment that will surprise no one... But, for example, if you're wondering what to get your family friends, tickets to a water park can be a great option. Firstly, this is a family gift, there is no need to give something to each member of the family separately. Secondly, these are the very impressions that rarely turn out to be superfluous.
The tea ceremony is another fashion story that is only growing in popularity. It is organized by specialists in a suitable room, in specially created conditions. The person to whom you give such an impression will participate in the ceremony, which takes place according to the ritual, with all the necessary paraphernalia.
A gift such as a horse ride does not become outdated either. Even if someone is initially frightened by a present, overcoming fear, being on horseback for the first time in his life, a person experiences those emotions that are difficult to compare with anything.
The main thing is that the instructor is good, and all safety measures are followed impeccably.
Movie tickets
This is the simplest option, but it makes sense to dwell on it in more detail. We do not always have the opportunity to give something expensive, valuable, convincing in its value. But this does not mean that conventionally cheap gifts always look unpresentable and it is a shame to give them. For example, on New Year's Eve, people often have to spend a lot on presents for loved ones, friends, colleagues, and the total amount may look too much for you.... The budget is bursting at the seams, but I would not like it! In this case, cinema tickets are just a lifesaver.
Just on New Year's Eve, there are many premieres in the cinema, atmospheric films that raise the festive mood (or even contribute to its appearance). Buy tickets, put them in an elegant envelope, and at the right moment "slip" the one you decided to please.
Some cinemas have cafes where you can get coupons for decent discounts on specialties (if you find one, put it in an envelope too).
A set of impressions is not always expensive, elite, from the "luxury offer" series. You can limit yourself to quite modest tickets so that loved ones appreciate this care, the desire to please and pamper your loved ones.
