Are you inspired by someone in your life? Has a special friend or family member been there for you during a difficult time?
If you’re trying to say thank you or simply want to give the perfect surprise gift, you’ve come to the right place.
With a little thought, creativity, and our help, you’ll be a gift-giving master in no time!
Grab your wrapping paper and ribbons and let’s explore surprise gifts that are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.
Personalized Mug
With more than 400 billion cups of coffee consumed each year in America, everyone needs at least a few mugs in their home. Most people have a go-to mug they use for their morning brew, soup, or a hot cup of tea at night.
A personalized or customized mug that embodies your friend or loved one’s personality is the perfect surprise gift. They’ll think of you and smile each time they bring it to their lips. Add a motivational phrase for daily inspiration.
You can also fill the mug with soothing tea bags or bold coffee beans as an added bonus.
Air Plant
You don’t have to be a green thumb to enjoy the beauty of an air plant. Flowers are a traditional thank you gift but they don’t often last long.
Air plants are both beautiful and low-maintenance. In nature, they attach to trees, shrubs, rocks, or the ground. As a gift, you can purchase an air plant attached to a gorgeous crystal rock or gem base.
Because air plants get the water and nutrients they need from the air, the recipient can enjoy this perfect surprise gift without the hassle of upkeep.
Tasty Treats
They say a man’s stomach is the way to his heart. What they fail to mention is that most people love a delicious treat that doubles as a surprise gift!
Chocolate-covered strawberries with a special message added in icing are a classic choice. A box of thank you cookies sent to the office is a welcome surprise that the special someone in your life can share.
They’ll also feel extra-special when everyone at work realizes the mystery delivery box is for them!
Calming Kit
Someone deserving of a surprise gift is probably also deserving of a little R&R. You don’t have to splurge on a spa or massage gift certificate to deliver a relaxing experience.
Create a calming kit filled with soothing items that the recipient can use to unwind and melt their stress away. Some ideas include:
- Bath bombs
- Candles
- Hand soap
- Essential oils
Opt for a mild and widely-recognized scent like lavender. Rosemary, peppermint, and lemon are also popular choices thanks to their calming effects.
