What Your Gift Selection Tells You About Yourself: The Giver's Perspective
Gift giving is not only about the gift recipient. It says alot about the gift giver.
Their values, their relationships, and their observation skills of others. Gift giving says a lot about the giver.
So what then does your gift selection tell you about yourself ?
You value Thoughtfulness in your gift giving
People who are thoughtful are generally always thoughtful. If you pick personalized gifts like Name-engraved keychain, or Photo Canvas Prints, or Custom Tote Bags you are showing that thoughtfulness in your gift giving.
It is an inherent value of yours that you want to make sure the other person feels happy, appreciated etc.
Loved really.
It is likely giving someone a thoughtful gift is more important to you than giving them an expensive gift which is generic.
A survey done by Deloitte Global Powers Retailing in 2023 found that 62% of consumers said they prefer a gift that feels meaningful and personalized. You can see this here. They want the gift to have meaning, and know once it’s thoughtful there is a great chance of it.
It turns out in gift giving it’s not all about money at all. Bigger isn’t better.
An expensive gift, the quality will be expected to be better, but the satisfaction to the gift recipient is not guaranteed just because it is expensive. It can be expensive but have no heart in essence, lack meaning etc. https://www.deloitte.com/global/en/Industries/consumer/analysis/global-powers-of-retailing.html
A thoughtful gift has emotional impact. The gift giver knows it will have more enjoyment value for their loved one etc.
You Love Making Others Feel Seen and Special
One reason personalized gifts have risen in popularity over the years is because they make the recipient feel special & seen in essence.
Personalized gifts recognise them, their personality and the person in essence.
They help make the gift recipient feel – you didn’t just buy an item for them – but you bought something for them.
Big difference.
This can be done by personalizing an item with their Name, a Custom Message, a Photo etc.
A gift industry statistic published on Gitnux you can see here is that personalized gifts represent about 40% of online gift sales. https://gitnux.org/gift-industry-statistics/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
As a giver, this means you care about standing out — and making others feel appreciated and loved.
You see gifts as Relationship Enhancers
A gift can strengthen a bond, theres no doubt about it.
Once it speaks directly to shared memories, or milestones perhaps – the bond between the gift giver and gift recipient can have a pouring of love onto it. It’s bond enhancing theres no doubt about it.
You See Gifts as Relationship Builders
A gift can strengthen a bond, especially when it speaks directly to shared memories or milestones. Personalized gifts are often chosen for this very reason.
We know from gift giving statistics that 85% of people believe a thoughtful gift can strengthen relationships. You can see the data here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/103-gift-giving-statistics-in-depth-study-2024-giftafeeling-rvsyc#:~:text=85%25%20of%20People%20Believe%20Gifts,gift%20is%20personal%20and%20thoughtful.
So, if you're a fan of thoughtful, made-to-order gifts, your actions speak clearly: relationships come first.
Final Thought
We believe that every gift you gift – tells a subtle story not only about the gift recipient but about the gift giver.
Choosing a personalized gift shows thoughtfulness, the effort has gone in, you want the loved one to be happy, appreciated. It’s an expression of love really.
The intentionality is there.
