Gift Giving: A guide!

-


The gift is a wide topic. It wouldn’t be enough for one blog, but I am going to try my best to cover all

types of gifts. Comment if I missed any.

Gifts can be an obvious thing like birthdays or weddings and celebrations like that. Or it can

be a formality such as for house warming or more. I fancy myself a good gift giver. In this blog, I

will be telling you about some gifts that you can give to virtually anyone

Birthdays are something that comes around every year (obviously). So there can be the

birthdays of a close friend, a good friend, a colleague, a co-worker, a teacher and so many

more. I personally love putting thought into my gifts for close friends. Recently it was my best

friend's birthday, and I decided to put together a little gift box with various little things in it. This

doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive, it can be things you made yourself and much more. I

added two shirts, a makeup product because she loves it, and a card with some bracelets I

made from thread. I even included a handwritten letter.

For a good friend or co-worker, you can give them something general. You can give

them something like a novel, or a showpiece for their house or aesthetic calendar (if their

birthday comes at the start of the year) or a planner or simply a notebook.

Birthdays are just a general thing I talked about but I’m going to be telling you the thought

process while giving a gift

First, you see the occasion. Whether it is a birthday or a wedding, graduation, etc. You have a

particular set of things you can give a person according to the occasion. So you have already

narrowed a bunch of things down. For example, the birthday of a close friend is coming up, so I

started planning the gift like a month ago ( I honestly don’t know the reason)

Second, you see the interests and likes or dislikes of the person. Eliminate anything you know

for sure the person won’t like. For example, the birthday mentioned in the first point, this person

here is a big fan of Harry Potter, she loves learning new things and she is also fascinated by

new things. So I made sure to give her something of each category.

Third, browse something related to the person's interest. Just a warning, if you like it, it doesn’t

necessarily mean the person will like it too. For example, since the person loved Harry Potter, I

decided to give her a Harry Potter T-shirt, but I made sure it was something subtle and it wasn’t

screaming Harry Potter. I also gave her a shirt which had the meaning of a word on it, because

she likes new things.

Fourth, imagine yourself in the place of the person who will be receiving the gift. If everything

works out, then you are good to go and buy the gift.

Fifth, enjoy the person's reaction to your well-thought-out gift.

I hope this blog will help you get the right gift to whomever you are planning a gift for. If there

are any tips you want to share, go ahead and comment down below.

Marks

  Bad Morning. It’s time to dress up. Drag yourself to the bathroom. Wear that hideous and ill-fitting uniform. Pack your bag. Head out with Ma. It’s result day. Every atom of your body is nervous. Your mind is only revolving around the worst-case scenarios. “Did I perform well enough in History?” “What if I fail, and Neha passes? Or worse- she is the topper and I missed it by a mark?” “Why can’t my papers just disappear?”   Hello, and welcome to the nightmare of every Indian teenager ever! That was my situation on Saturday. Result Days are always nerve-racking experiences. It’s the same kind of anxiety you get on the day of the exam, except that this one has wilder fantasies. Why is that so? Because marks are a dominating factor in an Indian’s lifetime. The numbers determine your future. Your value is lies within those numbers.  Now, when you look at it from an Indian Aunty’s perspective, this system sounds quite fair. The able ones go ahead, get what they deserve, beca...

Bharatanatyam

  Photo Credits There are many forms of art. Like drawing, painting, dancing, and many more. Talking about dancing, which also has many types, the one I most enjoy is Bharatanatyam. I began Bharatnatyam almost 5 years ago. When I started It was a brand new concept to me. I was really eager to learn it all and get it right. I love to attend dance classes. Even during the pandemic the dance academy, I have joined, is taking classes online. I once asked 2 or 3 schoolmates if they danced or not, 1 of them did but she told me she got bored after six months. There I was thinking about how could a person get bored of such a beautiful dance form. I mean everyone has their opinions, I agree, but I always used to question that. Anyway, the first 2-3 years of Bharatnatyam are spent learning the basic steps which are going to help build the steps for the dance items we learn (I don't know if this is true for all dance academies but this is how I am learning). Then after that, we learn the basi...

Ethnic Wear Part 2 (Desi Girl Era)

The college season has officially settled in. We’re also expecting festivities to begin later next month. Thus, I thought this would be the perfect time to upload a part 2 to the desi wear blog . Furthermore, I absolutely love making these collections! This time, we’ll take a step ahead by applying the pieces we learned about previously to daily life. The last blog was concentrated on Indian wear. Now, we’re stepping into indo-western ideas. This involves mixing up closet basics with Indian wear. We would love to inspire college ootds, a date outfit or even a party look with the following suggestions. 1. White – Tee Obsessions: My white T-shirt is the most worn article in my closet. I could survive on nearly every occasion with a white T-shirt. For the outfits below, I have paired them with a comfortable pair of Indian pyjamas. They are breathable and easy-breezy. This particular pair of bottoms has been stolen from a kurta set. A pretty embroidered bag, a pair of kol...
