Want to raise your gifting game? It’s easier (and less expensive) than you think! With just a little thought and a lot of love, a few small notions can come together to create something spectacular. Even if gift giving isn’t your native love language, we’re here to help with a few simple tips and tricks sure to touch hearts. Happy gifting!
Think of a Theme: Does your dad love dogs? Did your friend just start practicing yoga? Use something you know your giftee is excited about to ground your gift. From dog-themed dishes to incense or fun novelty items that pair with their passion, it’s these little thoughts that count!
Think of Things that Nest: A clever way to build a gift basket is by using one of the gifts as the basket! This convenient nesting doll approach ties the whole thing together for a cohesive presentation. From a tote bag to an oven mitt, almost anything with space to fill can work.
Think of Things that Go Together: From pre-made gift sets to your own personal picks, a few little things can often be more impactful than one big one. A budding writer might like a fresh journal, a nice pen, a stylish pencil pouch and a candle more than a vintage typewriter (unless that’s in the budget!).
Recipe for Success: Nugget Market Recipe Card + Shelf-Stable Ingredient(s) + Prep Tool + Serving Ware
For Example:
- Soup Recipe Card + Dried Noodles + Ladle + Ceramic Bowl
- Cocktail Recipe Card + Spirit or Liqueur + Barware + Cocktail Glass
- Floral Care Card + Fresh Flowers + Pretty Vase
PRO TIP: You don’t have to include every possible product to make an awesome gift! Think of your budget, how much time you have to shop and what would mean the most to your person.
Here are a few clever combos to get your imagination going...
- Baking Seasons Bright: Mixing Bowl + Artisan Baking Mix + Novelty Potholder + Whisk + Wooden Spoon
- Hug in a Mug: Stylish Mug + Seasonal Cocoa Mix + Candy Cane OR Artisanal Tea + Local Honey OR Coffee + More Coffee + More Coffee
- Self-Care Spa Day: Accessory Pouch + Essential Oils + Fancy Soap + Bath Bomb
- Nugget Care Package: Reusable Tote Bag + Weekly Meal Planner + Fresh to Market Products (EVOO, Pasta Sauce, Artisan Chocolate...) + Nugget Market Gift Card
