The art of giving comes with great empathy and connection, where you turn your own unique power into a gift for someone else. Whether you give through talent, matter, recognition or laughter, the art of giving is all about creating an unconditional and sustainable abundance for others.
Giving comes from the psychological state of mind, where the essence of a perfect gift comes with 3 key concepts of attentiveness, consideration and intention.
Attentiveness: The significance of all the fine details in life are what lets us know that we are appreciated and valued. Much like your partner knowing your exact tickle spot or a best friend who knows exactly how you’d react to a certain situation, paying attention to the little things and reflecting that through a mindful gift is a perfect way to show genuineness.
Consideration: Understanding the person you’re gifting must come with an act of selflessness. To recognise someone’s needs and wants, you need to show empathy and be conscious of their routine, and their environments. From that, you can start to decipher different solutions you can bring into their lives to make their lives, just that little bit easier.
Intention: The purpose of your gift is beautiful with a back story. Whatever the gift, find a way to connect it to a piece of the story that makes a statement of resonance.
Discover A Gift Through The Five Languages of Love.
Whether it’s a Christmas gift idea for him, for mum, for grandma, for a friend – no matter the person, no matter the age, we’re here to guide you with Christmas gift ideas that are guided by The Five Languages Of Love. A great way to show attentiveness, consideration and intention as mentioned before is done by understanding your recipients love language. Although we all may have more than 1, reflect and think carefully about what you think they resonate most in and find a gift that communicates to that specific love language.
The five languages of love are words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. They will help you understand the type of gift you may want to consider to lead you in the right direction. Here are 4 different ideas around love languages, of which can help guide you in picking the perfect gift!

Pay attention to the details: Quality time & Acts of Service
The quality time you spend with someone comes with rich conversations and deep insights into their soul, body and mind. To display an act of service, think about the finer details in their physical environment, and think about what you can give that can make their lives a little brighter and easier. For example:
-
You see your brother struggling with a phone charger that’s half-broken, half ripped. Gift with technology.
-
You see dad is starting to struggle with reading, so take him to Oscar Whylee and empower him by buying a stunning new pair of fashionable glasses!
-
You see your friends cooking and trying new recipes, so gift them with a piece of kitchenware that they need and will love!
-
There may be a broken heart somewhere in your list. Why not gift some cocktail glasses and a polaroid camera to make new and better memories – moving onwards and upwards.
Notice the little things a casual friend wouldn’t know. Respond to their little needs to give the ultimate gift of appreciation.
2. Beauty Sleep: Physical touch & receiving gifts.
A lover of touch from people of textures. An intimate but elegant gift for 2021, comes in the form of bedsheets and pillowcases. Whether it’s linen, or satin, cotton or bamboo – carefully select your bedsheets with consideration as it will be a material that they will find comfort in. The level of coldness and heaviness is dependent on the cloud in which we sink our beauty sleep.
3. The power of saying, “I’ve got you”: Words of affirmation
Think forwards to your recipients’ goals, their dreams, their plans for 2022. How can you contribute to their plans for 2022? Gift through the acts of service state of mind to communicate your words of affirmation. “I am so proud of you for all that you’ve achieved this year. I cannot wait for you to conquer 2022 with all the plans and goals you have set. Selfishly, I want to be a part of your journey and be there to support you the whole way through. To symbolise my intention, I wanted to gift you x for you to use when you x,y,z.”
