Thoughtful ways to send a gift of thanks (especially If your busy!)

Thoughtful ways to send a gift of thanks (especially If your busy!)

As we move into spring, watching new growth and natural change all around us many people start to think about life, regard and thanks for people in their world.  “It's the thought that counts” as people say when it comes to gifting, however a truly intentional,  personalised thoughtful gift of thanks will leave your friends, loved ones, customers, or employees feeling truly appreciated and cared for.

Gift-giving is one of the more special universal traditions that can be evidenced through time, deeply lodged in human nature and practice, bringing joy and happiness not only to the receiver but also to the gift giver.  Evidence shows that gifting stimulates endorphin release, our happy hormones, leading to feelings of wellbeing and contentment.  It can grow and develop relationships and build and strengthen emotional connections with people.  I am personally fascinated by the impact of gift-giving, the science behind it and the reality of its importance on overall wellbeing for all involved.

Our gift boxes here at Blend & Bestow are carefully considered and designed to include beautiful, high-quality, UK company products that blend together to produce joy and happiness with wellbeing at the heart.  Gifts that you will use, quality products that last and won’t just get thrown in the bottom draw or re-gifted in an emergency last minute birthday dilemma! Gifts people remember because that are unique to them! 

We are passionate about using small batch and local businesses, to help support our economy which in itself gives us as a company a great feeling of care and support for local hard working people.  Many of our products are made in limited numbers making them naturally unique, from eye pillows for yoga lovers, socks for ramblers or tote bags and tea for wild swimmers,  we try to consider a wide spectrum of interests and hobbies in our gift box collections and products.

This careful, thoughtful selection process of products and producers ensures that every gift box feels unique, cared for and meaningful, thus enhancing the process and emotional impact on all involved within the gifting process, I know it makes me very happy!

Whether you are looking for a little gift within a lower budget to remind that special someone you are there for them,  or a more significant luxury gift to show big thanks we have you covered.  In this busy day and age, many people simply just don’t have the time to look, buy, design and wrap, let alone find the physical time to actually send gifts. This is where we can come in, let us take away the stress of gifting, use our time and support you to show care and appreciated to the people you respect and want to show thanks too.

Please enjoy looking through our collections and for any more information please do not hesitate to get in touch.
