My business is all about thoughtful giving, and finding that perfect gift to make someone feel special. This blog gives my top five reasons for sending a thoughtful gift.
We have all had that fear when we realise it is a loved one’s birthday or anniversary and we haven’t remembered to get them a present. This type of gifting can be stressful and lead to last minute panic buying that we swear we will never do again.
However, there is the type of gifting where we are giving just because! We like to call this Thoughtful Giving and that’s what we are all about. Sending a card, or a friend their favourite sweets, can make someone’s otherwise dreadful day, good – and that in turn makes us feel good!
We have created our top five reasons for thoughtful giving.
- Sending to a long distance loved one
The Pandemic saw people sending gifts to their nearest and dearest who seemed yet so far away, thoughtful gifts in the post. Whether it was a hamper of food, daily supplies, a card to cheer them up or something else, the recipient was reminded how much someone cares in those lonely days of isolation.
This gesture is not just for Pandemics though – sending your bestie who now lives on the other side of the country, or your sister who you never get to see, her favourite lip scrub is an act that should never stop!

- Show support
Knowing our family and friends have our back is the thing that can get us through a situation. A huge decision or life-changing event is daunting so why not show someone we support them with a little thoughtful gift? Something like our You’ve Got This diffuser would be ideal!

- To cheer someone up
All it takes is a little gesture to make someone smile again sometimes. When they are going through a bad time, a collection of their favourite sweets or a self-care box of goods would do the trick.

- To mark an alternative occasion
Never mind the birthday gifts or the wedding presents, what about the thoughtful gift to mark someone finishing a huge project at work or dumping that useless boyfriend? She Believed She Could – and she did!

- Sending positive vibes
Some days it can be hard to stay positive which is why we all need reminding sometimes! An affirmation card or a box of goodies from your friend in the post will spark those good vibrations again and leave you feeling you can conquer the world!

Are there any reasons for thoughtful giving that we have missed?
At It’s The Thought, we have a unique gift for every occasion and reason. We all deserve to be pampered and sometimes the only way to do that is through a little gift. In the bust lives we all lead, we cannot get to see people as much as we like – so sending them something to show them we care is the only way sometimes!
