So, I was browsing Etsy for Mother’s Day gifts for the previous blog post (which you can read here) when I came across this incredible gift from the amazingly talented Paper Emporium which I immediately personalised and added to my basket as a gift for my Mum for Mother’s Day! It’s basically a print (which you can choose to have framed at an extra cost) and you type in a location, a time, and a date and then they print what the sky looked like on that exact occasion. You can obviously choose to use any sort of special date or anniversary, but I picked the date, time, and place where I was born. Then you can type in a title that goes above the star image (I put: ‘The Day You Brought Me Into The World’) and a message (I wrote ‘Forever Grateful For You xxx’) for the bottom of it. I was so proud and chuffed with this gift that I got in touch with the lovely Paper Emporium team and pitched the idea of a collaboration and they even created the exclusive discount code (BLOG30) for a whopping 30% off any of their items!!

MY 5 QUICK TIPS FOR GIFTING

1. Don’t be too specific when you search for gifts on Etsy; it can rule out a lot of surprisingly good ideas for presents that you might not have thought of.

2. Utilise the ‘filter’ feature to set your budget for the gift so that only those within it will show and you won’t end up scrolling through pages and pages of things you can’t even afford.

3. Make a list of five main themes for the person you’re gifting; consider including any hobbies, favourite movies or Netflix series’, bands they like, brands you’ve seen them buy from.

4. A pretty safe bet is thinking of something the person you’re gifting already has so you know they use and like it, and buy an accessory for it e.g. a phone case, portable printer paper etc.

5. Never be ashamed or embarrassed to need to put a budget in place; you can make it fun too and set a mutually agreeable price range if you’re exchanging gifts with another person.
