Selecting the right item for the right person for the right occasion can be really difficult. It’s not necessary that your gift has to be expensive but it definitely has to be something appropriate for the person you are gifting it to.[break]
If you’re selecting something for your father, then there are certain things you should take into consideration – his age, likes, hobbies, tastes, etc. Your mother might not expect gifts from you but it’s important that you know her likes and dislikes, too.
Keepsakes will work great for friends, and office colleagues should be given something formal.
If you’re the kind who sweats over finding the perfect gift, then you can relax as The Week is here to help you find just the right thing. Here are some innovative ideas that you can try this festive season.
Also, you can try something different and opt to gift any of these instead of handing out cash during Tika this time around.
Coffee mugs
As winter approaches, coffee mugs can make an apt gift for those who love their cuppa tea or coffee.
Books
The holidays can be the perfect time to catch up on some reading. Gift your loved ones books by their favorite author/s.
Scarves
As it starts getting chilly, scarves can make the best gift. From cotton to pashmina ones, the options are never ending.
T-shirts
Gift your loved ones some cool t-shirts. Be eco-friendly and try out some hemp t-shirts or you can choose a print you like and get a custom-made t-shirt. Visit Earthy and Station at Kopundole and Attsh at Jawalakhel for the items.
Wallets
Again, the varieties are endless. From small pouches, purses to clutches, there’s a lot to choose from. Find one in a peppy color and see your loved one’s eyes light up with joy. Step into UFO at Kumaripati, Patan, or Eighteen on Durbar Marg, Kathmandu.
Belts
Belts are a unique gifting option. You can find a wide range in New Road and Thamel. If you are looking for something extra special you can opt for genuine leather hand crafted belts which are available at Earthy in Kupondol.
Diaries and notebooks
Diaries and notebooks make wonderful gifts for almost everyone. Choose one made of recycled paper or Nepali lokta paper. You can find a range of these notebooks at Jamarko of Jhamsikhel and The Paper Park in Thamel.
Chocolates
Chocolates never fail. Homemade chocolates taste better and melt in your mouth. These are available at Hot Breads, Julie’s, and Herman Helmers.
