Great Gift Ideas for When You’re Stumped and Don’t Know What to Get

Gifting has got a bad rap. Gift-giving can, and should, be fun for everyone, but sometimes you just get stumped. Will they like it? Does it send the wrong message? What do they even need that they don’t have already? When you don’t have all that long to plan it out, gifting can get a little hairy. Sometimes a family reunion or event, wedding, work celebration, or birthday party catches you by surprise, and you need to find something relatively soon. Don’t despair! Consider the following thoughtful possibilities for 11th-hour gifts.

Weddings

At a wedding, the choice of gift is generally contingent on how well you know the recipient. If you’re close enough to the bride to know her tastes, it will be easier to pick up art, jewelry, clothing, or decoration for her than it would be for a more casual acquaintance. When considering gifts for wife to be who you don’t know well, lean toward event-specific gifts: a picture frame celebrating the wedding day, a terrarium featuring a wire-worked message of love, or artful figures representing the loving couple. More generally, it’s hard to go wrong with a classy dark wood serving dish or cutting board.

Family Events

Family events can cover a whole lot of ground, meaning a whole lot of possible gifts. They might include births, birthdays, religious events like baptisms and confirmations, family reunions, or graduations. Once again, something specifically commemorating the event with a memory is a great keepsake if you’re unsure. A commemorative frame with a great picture, perhaps taken by you, is easy to manage and thoughtful. For a sister who’s a great cook, fine recipe boxes and kitchen boas make great sister gifts to demonstrate your appreciation of her culinary craft. For a birth or early birthday, it’s nice to pick something both fun and practical, like an activity blankie for the little one.

Work Celebrations

Parties, get-togethers, events, and holiday celebrations at work are a great way to get to know coworkers better. However, with the popularity of Secret Santa, white elephant parties, and gift exchanges, you might find yourself in a position where you have to purchase a gift for someone you don’t really know. Sometimes just knowing a little bit about them is enough to find a terrific gift for them. Do they have a pet they love or a specific animal they’re fond of? There’s a wide selection of pet-related gifts available, including adorable plush animals of particular breeds that are sure to be a hit. For coworkers with a green thumb, a high-quality herb planter set for the office should prove popular. Gifting for a specific love, hobby, or interest is generally a good strategy.
