Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year!

So many people to meet and visit, so difficult to surprise them!

We know how!

What about a DIY tasty treat?

There are plenty of things even a left-handed person can do!

Your Own Tea Variety

Get creative! What do you like your tea with? Blueberry, cinnamon, dried apples, lemon zest, ginger, anise… you can combine everything you want and give it a beautiful name! Don’t forget to put it in a cute little jar and label it with a card!

Cookie Butter

It can be Oreo Butter or any other cookie butter (maybe your friend loves a particular type)? Just put your favourite kind of butter, stick of butter, half cup of condensed milk together in blender and mix it well! It should be spreadable! Add more cookies if it is too liquid!

Your Style Granola

Everybody loves granola! With milk, yogurt, juice or even without anything it makes a great dessert! Again, make it your style! Add raisins, cranberries, walnuts, chocolate chip or whatever you think tastes great. Bake the oatmeal flakes yourself (you may want to skip honey to make it healthier!). Most importantly: make sure you pack it well in a jar with a best wishes card!

Gift Box from all over the world

Do you want to give something a bit more special? Think about a subscription box! GlobeIn suggests artisan-made goods delivered to you monthly! They are culturaly inspired and are very handy! These are the examples of their previous boxes:

We already mentioned this probably the best gift idea ever!

Gift Boxes are here!

It is never too early to plan your Christmas present-buying routine!

So, we have an amazing idea!

Why not creating your own gift box for someone you love!

Gift boxes is new trend, now in the time of COVID-19 it is probably the best gift. It is not easy to see each other (for some people it is sad reaslity, the borders are closed). But post office works almost same good.

So, think about it! Who doesn’t like gifts? Who doesn’t like surprises?

We don’t know anyone like that!

Today, we would like you to get inspired by Strong Selfie. This shop offers gift boxes for young girls!

In case you have a younger sibling, you do not have to think much to make her happy, just pay for the subscription. If you are a creative type – check out the website and create one of your own.

By the way, they have awesome one time options! Our favourite is Digital Detox!

One more relaxing gift box idea: have a great romantic evening with your special beautiful candle!

Wickbox offers candle box subscription, otherwise they have some quite outstanding items in their shop:

Look at these! Great for romantic classy book lovers!

You can either buy these accessories and make your own DIY candle or just order the whole thing!

Asian is still in trend. Moreover, Asian women are so beautiful and look young at any age. They say Japanese cosmetics is the best quality in the world! Why not research the market, go to say DOKODEMO and make your own gift box for your friend? Otherwise check their Culture section! If your friend/significant other loves Japanese culture (and there are many people who do), they are gonna fall in love with these snacks and treats!

They also have electronics, medicine, everything for your hair and plenty of brands to choose from.

We are still enjoying summer and some of us are lucky to have all year round summer-like weather. Here is the brand Beachly that celebrates summer every 4 months by delivering Summer Boxes to your door.

To yourself.

We do not recommend giving someone else a perfume unless you are sure about the person’s preferences.

Although there are some things you can do for yourself and your friend/sibling/relative/better half in terms of choosing the best fragrance.

First of all, think about the fragrance families and try to identify yourself (or the person you would like to give the perfume to) with one of these:

Floral

The name speaks for itself. These are smells with dominant floral notes. It suits carefree, easy-going, cheerful and open-minded people.

Oriental

These perfumes are dominantly vanilla, musk, resin, warm and spicy notes. Best for extravagant, confident, bold personalities that love extraordinary and exotic things.

Chypre/Woody

Fragrances featuring elements of moss, wood, oakmoss or sandalwood and patchouli. Perfect for classy and stylish people, they are subtle and calm, often their style is underrated. They are calm and caring.

Citrus/Fruity

Perfumes with dominant lemon, lime, orange (etc) notes or any kind of fruits (for fruity).

Ideal option for yougn people, for those who have endless energy and passion for life.

If you prefer to find you type and you perfume in a form of a test, you can check the tests suggested by Cosmopolitain (they are a bit old but fragrances do not get outdated):

QUIZ: What’s the perfect perfume for your personality?

Here’s What Your Perfume Says About You

How do I choose?

Your best option is to go to a nearest perfume store, let’s say Sephora (by the way Sephora delivers all over the world if you just need to restock your favorite perfume) and smell the fragrances. Also, everybody knows that when applied to your skin, the fragrance may feel different (as it sort of mixes with your own odour). And Sephora also has Fragrance finder!

In case you’d rather have some fun, the best option is to get a Perfume Box. Actually, gift boxes became a recent trend (Covid-19 boosted the sales of such for real). Our favorite subscription like this is Scent Addict by thefragranceshop. Here is how it works!

For those who are scared of the commitment the shop offers  one scentaddict atomiser filled with a fragrance of your choice for £18. It is UK shop, but they ship internationally.

Skylar suggests Scent Experience! What does it mean? You buy a gift card (you use later to buy your favorite smell) and they send you a palette of 8 different smells for free!!! You try them at home, wear, experience…and then redeem your gift card and buy the one you liked the most! Amazing!

Another great international business (started as a family business in Kuwait) is Generic Perfumes! You can choose a pack of 6 or 12 sample pieces and then decide which of over 3000 perfumes to fill them with! Sounds amazing, right? They sell essential oils too and all of their products are alcohol-free!

If nature is especially important to you (and you live in UK), choose Beauty Base. They have many fragrance categories to choose from including:

If you already know your (or your friend’s) favorite perfume, you can easily order a delivery here at FragranceDirect. They have probably any perfume you can think of! Check their OFFERS and SALE sections for more deals. By the way they have 10 percent discount for students!

Another great site for perfume shopping is FeelUnique, we absolutely love their INSPIRE ME section and they have free gifts (check OFFERS).

In case you have doubts about giving someone perfume as a gift, another great idea is Beauty Box, which is far less risky. Check the subscription offered by Allure (you can cancel anytime)!
