A hamper is an ideal way to surprise someone special on their birthday, featuring food, drink and skincare items packaged beautifully together in a basket or box. For optimal results when creating such an arrangement, ensure all of the items correspond with their interests and preferences.
For instance, if they enjoy entertaining, consider giving them a hamper filled with delectable snacks and drinks like the indulgent one from The Hamper Company featuring wine, chocolates and cheese. Or consider giving them this beautiful bean-to-cup machine from CafeBarista that’s ideal for making morning cuppa.
Alternative gifts could include home essentials from Cameo that can be customized with three letter monograms in vibrant hues; or this stunning Acacia Wood and Marble Cheeseboard from Anthropologie that can be engraved with their initials for an added personal touch.

2. A Gift Card
Gift cards make an easy, thoughtful present that allows the recipient to select what they’d like from a specific store or website. Gift cards also work well if you don’t know someone well but still wish to show your care by giving presents.
If your friend or loved one enjoys reading, give them a gift card to their favorite bookstore so they can choose a book to read or perhaps an aromatherapy soy candle to add ambience while reading. Or consider surprising them with something extra-special like an instruction manual on professional cocktail mixing techniques or Himalayan salt glasses so they can create their next vodka tonic masterpiece!
Sports fans in your life would surely appreciate a gift card to their team club shop, or for alcohol enthusiasts a Drizly gift card offering thousands of beer, wine and liquor selections delivered straight to them at home or wherever they may be going. There’s sure to be one available that fits them perfectly!
3. A Gift Basket
Gift baskets are an easy and thoughtful way to give multiple smaller presents at the same time. These themed packages often include snacks, sweets and bath products – ideal for those who don’t want to purchase one large item that may end up in giveaway piles later.
One of the great aspects of basket-inspired gift ideas is their flexibility: you don’t have to limit them just to wicker baskets – they can fit almost any container! Try something like an antique suitcase or crate for an unexpected twist, or craft one yourself!
If they love baking, consider giving a cookie and tea gift set from BIPOC women-owned brand Untold. The carefully curated kit features all of their favorite snacks like buttery blackberry galette cookies and delectable Meyer lemon tea to enjoy their favorite snack anytime they like.
This basket is ideal for friends who enjoy spending their weekends lounging around reading and sipping hot cocoa together – it includes all they need for an idyllic birthday celebration, including their favorite author’s book and everything needed for making tea or coffee from scratch!
Surprise your friend who enjoys hosting with a gift basket full of all their hosting essentials – wine glasses, serving platters and cheese boards as well as all the food essentials they’ll need for an outstanding dinner party are included in this basket.
4. A Personalized Gift
Personalised gifts have an endearing appeal that makes them the perfect present for any special event, be it birthday, anniversary or retirement. From custom phone cases and mugs to necklaces and keychains – there are so many fantastic ways to give something memorable that your loved ones will treasure for life.
If they enjoy taking pictures with their phone, why not treat them to a custom photo case that can hold all their favorite shots? For those with a green thumb who enjoy gardening, why not give this birth flower growing kit with poppies, violas, marigolds and red zinnias as birth flower starter kits? Or give them something they’ll enjoy as a film buff such as this fill-in poster where they can mark off 1,500 movies they want to watch on Netflix?
Help them explore their astrological history with this book that features their date of birth. Just make sure not to give personalized gifts as casual acquaintances or professional acquaintances as these could come off as impersonal. But for family, friends, and romantic partners – personalized gifts make an excellent statement about who they are as individuals – think up a special message or quote related to them and you have yourself a perfect present!
