You can do your homework and find the perfect trending, lifestyle gift. It can be right up their ally and suit their favourite hobby or activity. And yet, come the time of giving, giving the thing itself just doesn&#8217;t quite hit the mark and leaves you feeling a little less connected to the intention behind why you got it for them in the first place. The magic lies in the often overlooked details. Without getting too Martha Stewart on you &#8211; here are a few of my favourite thoughtful elements and little touches that can truly transform a present to unwrap into a cherished gift and some examples to get you inspired.<\/p>\n<h2>The elements that make up a truly special gift<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>The backstory<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is essentially the why behind the gift. You might think the person you&#8217;re giving it to will make the connection on their own. And maybe they will. But since we connect through stories, a few kind reminding words will place them in the right mindset to receive the gift they&#8217;re about to unwrap. Draw inspiration from the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>an anecdotal moment<\/li>\n<li>a shared experience<\/li>\n<li>a difficulty you&#8217;ve overcome together<\/li>\n<li>something they&#8217;d like to learn that you&#8217;ve listened to<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the good stuff I would suggest you draw on and bring their attention to on\u00a0the card.<\/p>\n<h3>The experience of unwrapping<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s probably my very German origins that make the time of unwrapping presents one by one under the tree a rather slow process, filled with anticipation and suspense (and a lot of biscuits). Adding details to the wrapped gifts make it feel all the more sentimental and appreciative when it comes to unwrapping them. It also slows things down enough for the receiver to think about what you took great care in writing in their card. Some of the following might inspire you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>twine, raffia or natural ribbon wrapped around the paper with dabs of essential oil on them<\/li>\n<li>a few photographs of\u00a0you and this person sharing this activity printed out and stuck onto the brown paper or newspaper th gift is wrapped in<\/li>\n<li>scented things: branches, cinnamon sticks, lavender or dried fruit tied through the yarn<\/li>\n<li>some humorous\u00a0bits and bobs that make them laugh while they unwrap (think of inside jokes)<\/li>\n<li>natural finds: shells, feathers, seed pods, etc.\u00a0 &#8211; nature is a glorious creator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The inspiration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is the fun bit. Think of it as a light embellishment\u00a0to the main part of the present. It serves to flesh out the purpose the gift serves and paint a picture in the mind of the person you&#8217;re giving it to. I love doing this because it immediately gets them excited as they begin to live <em>into<\/em> the present you&#8217;re giving them.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Some examples of how to enrich a great gift<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/brand-nutribullet\/\">The Nutribullet<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Why it&#8217;s a popular gift:<\/strong> saves heaps of time for\u00a0anyone\u00a0living a busy life, adds an easy and quick boost of health, great for fitness-oriented people who need to boost their intake of super nutrients through shakes.<strong><br \/>\nFlesh it out with:<\/strong>\u00a0their favourite flavour superfood ingredients like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/cocoafair-organic-dutched-cocoa-powder\">cocoa<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/oh-mega-nut-butters\/\">quality nut butter<\/a>, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/superfoods-green-smoothie-mix\">green shake powder<\/a><strong><br \/>\nMake it personal with:\u00a0<\/strong>a handwritten recipe they can pin into a cupboard (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/smoothie-101-guide-to-blitzing-your-best\/\">feel free to steal one from our blog<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/sweetly-does-it-silicone-chocolate-moulds-hearts\"><strong>2.
