Why is gift giving so important?

• Love and Appreciation

Gift giving is a thoughtful way of expressing our love and affection to those we care about. By thoughtfully thinking of others, gifts can demonstrate how we are always thinking of our loved ones. It’s a simple act of kindness for our loved ones and builds strong and valuable relationships.

• Tradition

For many of the occasions mentioned in this blog, gift giving is an integral part of tradition. Whether it be Christmas, Easter or birthdays, gift giving is a beautiful way of expressing our gratitude to one another on special occasions like these.

• Manners and decorum

A lot of the time, gift giving is an important way to maintain politeness and etiquette when someone you love or know has overcome a huge milestone, moved house or graduated from university. The thought of selecting a gift for that specific person is a beautiful method of expressing our care and attentiveness for loved ones who we want to celebrate.

 

At Wild & Rust, we stock a range of bespoke, irreplaceable fragrance items which are all lovingly handmade, eco-friendly and sustainable. These local brands are perfect for gifting thoughtfully this year, with the planet in mind.
