Gifting, the timeless tradition that transcends cultures and generations, is a way to show love, appreciation and recognition to those who matter. As joyous as gifting is for giver and receiver, it can sometimes feel like a burden, especially at the busy Christmas period when there may be a number of gifts to buy.
What should I get? Will it be appreciated? What can I afford? Will it feel special? - questions most of us have asked at one time or another. The pressure can make it feel less like an act of love and more like another task on the to-do list. Last minute shopping serves only to increase this pressure.
Thoughtful giving is as much about the giver as it is about the receiver. It’s about making others happy but it’s also about feeling good oneself with the warm glow that comes with pleasing those you care about.
Thoughtful giving and the care with which a gift is chosen shows an instinctive awareness of the interests, character and tastes of the recipient. It demonstrates that time and effort have been invested in understanding them. It leads not just to an appreciation of the gift itself, but to an appreciation of the giver and in so doing it strengthens the bond between them making both feel special.
Thoughtful giving also reflects the tastes, values and personality of the giver. It enables the giver to express creativity and imagination and the flair to understand others’ likes and needs. It brings joy to both parties creating warm, lasting memories of care and love.
So what to choose? The best gifts are not measured by their size or price but by the thought, care and love that go into them. Whether it’s a small token or a grand gesture try to find something that’s a treat, a little luxury; something maybe they wouldn’t buy for themselves or wouldn’t even know about; something to surprise and delight.
If you know a loved one’s favourite colour is green, an emerald green wrap or emerald green cashmere mittens might be perfect. For someone who feels the cold at night, cashmere bed socks would be a practical and luxurious present. For cold weather warmth consider a cashmere beanie hat or fur lined leather gloves. For elephant lovers, an originally designed elephant print wrap would be a specially appropriate choice.
The timeless gift of cashmere never fails to delight and to make someone feel cherished. From indulgently soft scarves that drape effortlessly to snug cosy gloves, hats and socks, these beautifully crafted, thoughtful gifts are the perfect way to show you care. Cashmere makes every moment feel special. A cashmere gift is more than just a present, it’s an experience of luxury that will remind them of your care with every wear.
