As life moves on and we become busy with our new daily schedules, it is important that we still keep the importance of yearly occasions and events alive and celebrate them. Sending gifts outside the border is a critical challenge that every individual faces, but here are three effective ways to send gifts from any corner of the world -

Through Online Gift Site:

You are sitting abroad, and it's your mom's birthday within two days. Nearly impossible to send something from where you live, but online gift shops got you covered. Sending a gift to a relative or friend overseas is easy now, as these online gift shops have plenty of options, including flowers, cakes, fragrances, and combo.

With amazing deals and offers on gifts, you can avail of added benefits like free cards and flowers with gifts and same-day delivery. These online gifting websites could be your one-stop solution to send your loved ones gifts while you are not around.

Gift bought locally and sent by a shipping service:

You have done much shopping for your relatives and friends, and you are all set to visit them. But the pandemic situation has become a barrier, and you are sitting back on your couch at home. Well, choose an overseas shipping service that can deliver your packages with certain charges of money. You can choose DHL, UPS, and any local shipment services considering your convenience of costs and shipment time.

Send Gift Overseas with A Person Going to The Same Country:

Another effective way to send gifts overseas is to give your gifts to those traveling to the same country. You'll be much sure of the fact that your gifts are in safe hands and will be delivered on time as well. You'll find many of your acquaintances who travel to countries, and they are your prime target to have contact with and send gifts to your loved ones.

Buy from e-commerce websites:

If none of the above options are workable, you can still buy gifts as we live in a world of technology. Due to pandemic, the rise of eCommerce has been seen worldwide, and you can order from these eCommerce websites and send your loved one gifts sitting at your home. All can be possible from sending iPhone to book tickets at the hotel with one click.

It's best to go by yourself and give someone a gift for which the empathy and connection become stronger, but as we move on with our busy schedules, we also need to find out ways to at least see smiles on our loved ones sitting far from them.

Here is a checklist on which occasions you can send gifts and what gift suits you more on the occasions:

Birthdays:

Birthdays are the most happening event, full of gifts. You can send a cake with flowers with a teddy bear if it's a toddler or for a grown person it can be a beautiful outfit or fragrances.

Wedding:

For a wedding, a couple starts their new journey, and in that manner, they expect to have gifts that will be usable for them. Home appliances, watches, decorative items could be some of the gifts best for a newly wedded couple.

Festivals:

Festivals like Eid, Puja, or Christmas are events where people meet each other exchange greetings. If you want to send gifts on these occasions, clothing and accessories (shoes, watches, jewelry, etc.) would be the best options.

New year:

On the eve of the new year, a cake with a wish on it and some flowers will do just fine. Also, people expect to travel a lot on this eve so that you can buy them destination tickets as a gift too.

Newborn baby:

A newborn baby is a blessing to one's family. The most important thing a newly born baby needs is good health which mostly relies on their mother. So you can send gifts of healthy foods, workout equipment, etc., to their mother so that she can be in good health to feed the newborn. Also, baby clothes and baby cots would be beautiful gifts for the infant.

Congratulate on new achievements:

You can always congratulate your loved ones on their new journey or achievements, whether they passed an exam, got a new job, or achieved a new milestone in business, by sending some exclusive gifts. Best gifts that suit these events are wall clocks, wristwatches, organized pen, dairy, calendar sets, decorative items or furniture such as a chair or table, etc.

Corporate gifts:

Sending gifts to any corporate office or high-ranked personnel is critical as you have to choose your gifts. Sending diary, pendrive, mug, pen, desk organizer, yearly calendar are commonly practiced gifts for the corporates. Exceptionally you can send gift cards from clothing brands which creates a great impression.

Anonymous:

We often send gifts anonymously, which is when we get confused about what to send. We first need to know who we are sending and their usual preferences to receive a gift. If you send a gift to your father, it could be a tie or a suit he likes. Maybe your brother wants a PlayStation, whereas your best friend may like a clothing set from a reputable brand, or your fiancé would like a set of diamond jewelry or a makeup set from Jeffree star. It's best to talk more with them to know their likings and send gifts accordingly.

Although gifts play an important role in building connections and making relationships stronger, we have to keep in mind that choosing the right gifts and sending them at the right time is the thumb rule for pleasing someone with gifts. Make sure your gifts have attractive packaging, which creates a great impression of you.
