Choosing a birthday gift can be tricky but it's a wonderful opportunity to show someone how much you care. To pick the perfect present, consider the recipient's interests, hobbies and personality. Here are some ideas to get you started:

For the Homebody:

• A plush throw blanket with their initials, a message or a photo,  a set of personalised mugs for their morning coffee ritual or a custom doormat welcoming guests to their home.
• Curate a basket filled with gourmet snacks, artisan cheeses, or decadent chocolates for an indulgent treat.
• Choose a subscription box that caters to their interests, like aromatherapy candles, bath bombs or relaxing teas.

For the Foodie:

• Bond over a new experience by taking a cooking class together. Learn to make a new cuisine or perfect a dish they love.
• Level up their home bar with a kit complete with syrups, bitters, and recipe cards for delicious drinks they can create.
• Fill a basket with gourmet treats they'll love, like cured meats, artisan cheeses, specialty oils and vinegars.

For the Techie:

• Design a custom phone case with a funny saying, a favourite photo, or their initials.
•  Explore options like engraved wireless earbuds, a portable charger with a motivational message, or a docking station for their devices.
• Consider a subscription box delivering the latest tech gadgets or accessories to keep them on the cutting edge.

For the Fashionista:

• A necklace with their birthstone or initials, a bracelet engraved with a special date or a scarf featuring a custom print are all thoughtful choices.
• Surprise them with sunglasses with a personalised case, a tote bag showcasing a treasured photo or a hat embroidered with their name.
• Explore subscription boxes offering curated jewellery, clothing pieces or beauty products that suit their style.

For the Experiencer:

• Plan a relaxing escape to a charming bed and breakfast or a fun-filled city break they can explore.
• Surprise them with tickets to see their favourite musician or a performance they'd enjoy.
• Gift them an experience voucher they can use for activities they enjoy, like rock climbing, kayaking or a hot air balloon ride.

The key to a great birthday gift giving is personalisation! Think beyond generic gifts and show that you've put thought into it by considering their interests. By choosing personalised gifts you make it personal which adds a special touch!
