5 Tips For Unforgettable Gifts
For the best in gifts for decorators as well as gifts for interior designers keep the following tips in mind.
- Keep it modern. Interior design gifts with clean lines and minimal patterns will blend in easier to any decor taste. So when it comes to custom gift ideas for decorators—or anyone really, think modern and timeless!
- Keep it functional. Downsizing is not just a trend, it’s a way of life. When you give a gift that’s functional, you’re choosing sustainability which is good for the earth and a good representation of your company. Plus, it’s less likely to be forgotten on a shelf collecting dust or even given away.
- Keep it neutral. While neons, hot hues, and expressive brights might demand our attention, choosing more natural hues will fit in more seamlessly and allow your recipient to accessorize in a way that suits their taste. Not to mention, the gift can continue to evolve no matter how many times their taste (or the color of the year) may change. Plus, designers are experts in adding pops of color, so let them choose their favorite, while you provide an excellent product that stands the test of time.
- Keep it unique. You know the saying, don’t reinvent the wheel? Well, you don’t have to score a gift straight from Shark Tank to invest in something unique. From mugs, kettles, drink and cocktail ware to other home goods and even custom apparel—you can relax, knowing it’s all been done before. When it comes to unique items, it’s about finding stellar products by brands that are known for their quality which in today’s world is not always easy to find.
- Keep quality in mind. It may be the thought that counts, but as you are probably aware, it’s the quality that lasts. This will also go a long way in sharing gift ideas that go a long way in making your recipient feel special and appreciated. Plus, they will also reflect positively on your company, which is a must when it comes to customization.
