What is the best idea for an original gift?

It's important to prepare for the holidays in advance, because not only parents, but also friends and colleagues are expecting gifts ! I should point out that this applies to you too, because if you're tired of receiving gifts you don't like, it might be a good idea to think about it in advance to put people on the right track.

When your imagination is running out of original ideas for a gift for a beer lover , I can already suggest you browse our site. You can create a gift list for the different holidays of the year. The advantage with our products is that you are sure to find something unusual and unusual as a gift idea to offer to your loved ones for all occasions and to please them!

However, I'm writing this blog post to help you with your choice(s), whether you draw your inspiration from us or elsewhere. Get your Santa sack ready because you should see things more clearly as you read this article (well, I hope so!). 🎁

What gift, why and for whom?

The holiday season is always a great opportunity to create wonderful memories with family and friends. Giving your parents , friends, or colleagues something special is a surefire way to go. An original gift and an unusual gift idea are always a pleasure!

Many people are stuck for gift ideas and wonder what to give. It even seems that every year, the blues of lack of gift inspiration is a source of stress during the Christmas holidays! It's a shame it has to come to this because, at its core, giving gifts should be a source of pleasure. The pleasure of giving, as they say!

Gifts depend directly on the holiday and the person to whom they are offered (for Valentine's Day , Christmas gifts , Father's Day gifts , Mother's Day , etc.). If you are interested, I invite you to read my article on Father's Day gift ideas .

The gift can also be universal if it is offered outside of a special occasion: flowers or flower wreaths , sweets or a personalized gift for a loved one.

Sometimes the person receiving the gift isn't happy with it , even if they don't show it. Just look at the number of ads posted on Le Bon Coin the day after the holidays! 😂

To avoid any discomfort, it is necessary to remember the 4 golden rules for choosing a gift :

1) Age

You can't give a child's gift to a grown man or woman, for example. It seems obvious, but it's a good opening line! So what gift for what age?

It's important to consider a person's interests, based on their age. I don't know how old you are, but you know your tastes have evolved with age. I think we've all received a gift that wasn't appropriate for our age.

I remember receiving a dinosaur t-shirt from my aunt when I was 16. Then you're good to bring out your most magnificent forced smile and your fake-ass voice: "Oh thanks, that's nice, it's really great!" while in your head you're screaming: "No but wait, what is this rotten present , it was when I was 8 that I was a fan of dinosaurs! What the hell am I going to do with your ugly present ? If I wear it, everyone will laugh at me!" Aaah adolescence... 😆

In short, I used this example to illustrate that each age has its own type of gift .

A gift for a child is, so to speak, the easiest because the age group is often mentioned on the box.

An adult gift should be chosen based on the general tastes associated with the target person's age group. This isn't always a good idea, but it's a good first step.

I apologize in advance for often referring to our website, because our strategy for dealing with this issue has been simple: offer products that, for the most part, are not age-specific. For example, you can offer a beer mug to a 20-year-old man or to his 50-year-old father.

You can also be wrong in thinking that certain products are rather intended for young people. Concrete example: our bottle opener gun. It was rather oriented towards young people with its fun gift side, but we realized that it also appealed a lot to more mature men. Men are still big kids inside , what can you do...

Here is our famous bottle opener gun (click on it to see it):

All this to say that age is a good indicator for finding the ideal gift , but other parameters must also be taken into account. This is precisely what follows.

2) Hobbies, passions and interests

To find an original gift, you need to focus on the person's hobbies. You'll greatly reduce your chances of missing out if you hit the nail on the head: giving them something they enjoy.

For example, to spoil your geek friend, aim for high-tech gadgets: a drone, specific computer equipment, a special mouse pad or even a sophisticated puzzle. This should win more votes than offering a stuffed unicorn, a globe, cups or an apron! For a geek, a beer USB key would also be a good idea. Just saying!

Personalized gifts are also a great way to make a statement. Here are some concrete examples:

• For a beer-loving dad, avoid giving him a personalized "World's Best Dad" mug and opt for a personalized beer mug instead. He's a father, sure, but he's also a man, and he doesn't necessarily always want to be associated with his paternal side.
• Anyone who enjoys fishing and the occasional beer? Consider a beer bucket hat or a beer cap; it'll help them avoid getting sunburned, and their fishing friends will appreciate the attention.
• A home decor fan who enjoys a wheat beer or a flavored beer as an aperitif? Why not treat them to one or more personalized cushions with our covers, a beautiful beer clock for the kitchen, a blanket that will keep them warm, or a bath mat so their little feet feel welcome when they get out of the shower? See all our beer decor by clicking on this link!
• For a beer fan, with us it's obviously open bar! Personalized T-shirt ( here ), hoodie ( there ), beer decoration, bottle opener ( here ), beer pump ( here ), in short, you're spoiled for choice.

Draw your gift ideas from the person's environment, their home, or the topics they like to discuss. Think about what they like and what items might be directly or indirectly related to them.

3) Character

Temperament is worth considering for an original gift idea . If the person is sweet and rather romantic, a bouquet of flowers, a piece of jewelry, gift boxes , will certainly make the perfect gift for women . Be careful, I should point out that morals change and that romantic men also exist! A romantic restaurant outing can please a woman as well as a man.

On the other hand, someone with a bit of a fast personality will enjoy thrills like driving lessons, rafting, tree climbing or via ferrata.

Character is one of the important parameters because the choice of your gift will demonstrate your attention and your listening to this person.

Choosing a gift is intuitive, of course, but the tastes of your friends, family, or even a dear friend should be carefully considered. We all have this fear: the gift that doesn't please...

4) Lifestyle

If you want a gift idea for a colleague, he might be happy with a practical gift for his work if you don't know him more than that in a personal capacity.

For all other cases, family and friends, you're supposed to know them relatively well. Well, yes, there's a reason we call them "our loved ones"!

If your sister swears by natural products , you're not going to give her an industrial shower gel or a low-end cosmetic cream. Instead, opt for homemade recipes from young designers.

If you're looking for something 100% natural, what could be better than wood and a carpenter's love for his work? Here's our premium wooden mug:

If your brother travels often for work or leisure, or goes camping often, you can get him a toiletry bag or even a bottle opener so he's never caught unprepared.

If your mother spends a lot of time at home, it might be a good gift idea to choose something for her home. Small appliances to simplify cleaning or cooking, decorative accessories or a pretty blanket, etc.

If your dad is athletic, it might be a technical T-shirt or heavy-duty socks. Don't give him a shirt or tie if he never wears one...

There are plenty of examples like these, but the idea is really to adapt the gift to the person's lifestyle. You can give a gift that looks nice, but if you're sure it'll be useful, that's even better.

What kind of gift for women or gift for men?

There's a myth that choosing a gift for a woman is easier than choosing a gift for a man, but this isn't always true. Women intuitively sense whether a gift is made from the heart or not. Gentlemen, know that this is worth listening to and taking into account, because your wife will know if you gave her something because you didn't really have an idea.

A man doesn't always express his emotions when he sees a gift . We'll put this down to the possible lower sensitivity of men and it can be more difficult to know if the gift was really appreciated. However, over time you should be able to read between the lines and read him more easily to determine the success of your gift idea .

Whether you're a man or a woman, when you receive a gift, you immediately assess its usefulness. In less than a second, you already know if it will be useful to you (well, if you've understood what the gift is for, which isn't always the case!). Make things easier by making sure in advance that your gift will have every chance of being useful.

In fact, our education and our current society condition us in the choice of our gifts , from a very young age. A little girl will have a play kitchen and the little boy a car garage… Yet a man can also appreciate being given flowers or taking dance lessons, women are increasingly getting into DIY and football!

It can also be smart to break the codes. If I bring this back to the world of beer, 15 years ago when you walked past a bar terrace you hardly saw any women drinking a pint of beer. Look now, pints are blooming on every table! So why not offer a nice mug of beer to a girl?! It's up to you to break down these gender divides.

Here is our Viking tankard for example

 

How much does a gift cost?

A particular factor in the choice is the price of the gift. Ouch, that always hurts when you hit the nerve of war, right?! This is always a delicate question because it remains quite common for us to associate a beautiful gift with the price it cost. In our subconscious, many of us think about it.

Set a psychological price and try to stick to it; this will limit your spending. Depending on the amount, it could be one or more gifts.

You might be saying to yourself, "Yeah, Julien is nice, but he always directs me towards products that are too expensive for me!" And I'm saying, "Don't panic, Monique/Patrick (well, yes, I don't know if you're a man or a woman, lol)! We also have inexpensive gifts! Gifts under 5 euros or even gifts under 20 euros , we offer them, and here are a few examples among others:

Beer humor ebook: €4.95

Beer Quotes Ebook: €4.95

50 Mini beer stickers: €19.95

Cushion covers: €17.95

A birthday gift for a man or a birthday gift for a woman doesn't necessarily require a big expense. There are plenty of small gifts that are sure to please. Juju's (me) foolproof tip: aim for the stomach. I'm not talking about punching him in the gut, mind you! I'm referring to the taste buds because, without much misunderstanding, we all like to eat well. Treats, regional specialties, or a good old-fashioned trip to a pastry shop and it does the job.

If you're really short on budget and can't afford expensive gifts , you can always make a fun and funny gift with your own hands. You'll find plenty of YouTube tutorials for making cool things yourself. Just remember these 4 golden rules to guide your search.

How to choose an original gift?

Well, here's the question everyone asks themselves every time! I'm going to kill the suspense right away because I know you're dying to know the miracle solution: the original gift is the one the person doesn't expect. In a way, it will be a surprise gift .

New Year's gifts are generally given based on the popularity of the year's products. Christmas gifts are either themed or even designed specifically for this time of year. If you're looking for something original, look no further...

It is possible to buy items in the nearest shopping center, on a website, in an online store (randomly ours! 😇).

As far as we're concerned, the first products that appear in our various categories are generally the ones that sell the best. This is true for the majority of sites. This choice is difficult because on the one hand, you know that these items are popular, and on the other, you realize that you're far from being the only one to buy them...

Our best-selling T-shirts, for example:

Beer Week Prep T-Shirt:

Leffe you and walk T-shirt:

I love IPA T-shirt:

Choosing the right gift is a difficult task. Choosing an original gift that your loved one will remember for a long time is twice as difficult. A boring gift will not bring satisfaction to either you or the person you are giving it to. A false joy on the person's face is all you will remember from receiving such a gift .

To create a real storm of emotions, genuine joy and pleasure, you need a unique gift , whether it is a birthday gift , a New Year gift or a gift for any other occasion.

The most important thing is not how much money you are willing to spend on the gift , but how it will fit into the " inner world " of the person you are going to give it to. To make your gift unforgettable and memorable, you should discard all options of ordinary items, and everything associated with everyday life.

Or it has to be something really different, like... articles about beer? I'm half joking, actually, because what our customers who give our products as gifts often tell us is that they are a pleasure. The people who receive them find it original that the person who gave them managed to find something beautiful, useful, related to something they like (beer) and above all, a product that they probably wouldn't have thought of.

Depending on the person, original gifts can also be handicrafts or original works of art, jewelry, or gifts related to the person's hobbies or hobbies (rule #2 as a reminder). But there are also original gifts that leave no one indifferent, regardless of their personal characteristics and preferences.

When it comes to unique gifts for men , here are some ideas: hang-gliding, jet ski racing, or mountain biking. These unusual gift ideas depend on your imagination and your interpretation of the 4 golden rules.

Original gifts for women can be a romantic dinner at a restaurant, a visit to a spa, or a trip on a yacht. Unforgettable emotions, excitement, and an adrenaline rush guarantee that the gift will always be appropriate for any occasion and will remain in your loved one's memory for a long time.

Giving a gift is not difficult

Nothing is impossible, quite the contrary! It is therefore entirely possible to imagine an original gift for all tastes and budgets, and all you need is a little ingenuity and imagination to please.

The perfect gift exists: it's one that comes from the heart. It should surprise in a positive way. Afterwards, it will depend on the person to whom you are giving this gift : your mother, your sister, your beloved, a colleague, but you will adapt to this person, their character, their tastes, etc. It is not the person who receives the gift who must adapt to what you like!

As you've read this article, you've probably figured out that we've designed the products we offer as potential gifts. Some people treat themselves (there's no harm in treating yourself!), while others find inspiration in them to please. That's why we're constantly expanding our catalog when we think of products that could be adapted to beer!
