Gifting is sometimes about celebration, but at other times it's about the quieter moments in life. You can let someone know that you’re thinking of them and that you’ve noticed they’re going through a difficult time. It’s a way to show that you care without words - just actions. It’s not always as easy as you might think to find the perfect gift, so we’ve made it simple with the Hugglebud. Below we explore gifts that communicate care, thought and love to those special people in your life. Self-care also falls into this category! For a gift that will be remembered long after the occasion has passed, read on…
Gifts That Simply Say "I'm Thinking of You"
Gifting isn’t always tied to a birthday, special occasion or seasonal period like Christmas gifts or Black Friday gifting, although a Hugglebud is awesome for those occasions, too. But when you send someone a gift simply because you are thinking of them, they are having a difficult time, health challenge or other pivotal moment, it can mean a lot more than a big bold gesture. Unexpected gifting gesture carry a lot more weight than expected ones like a birthday or Christmas gift. There’s no anticipation and a complete surprise ‘just because’ you are thinking of someone. It shows you are paying attention to the person, not just being driven by a date in the calendar - and that’s truly special.
Comfort is Universal - Everyone Loves To Be Snug & Warm!
When you are racking your brain for a loved one and a gift they would love, comfort, warmth and snuggles are always the best answer. The recipient will appreciate your gift regardless of their mood or stage of life. The comfort factor works whether they are celebrating, tired or struggling to make everyday life ‘work’. That’s why Hugglebud is the ultimate gift that can be worn on the lounge, folded as a support cushion or used as a foot-warming throw. It’s light and easy to care for and so so so so soft!
What to Send After Surgery & During Recovery
When someone is recovering from surgery or has to spend time resting and recuperating for other reasons, ensuring they are comfortable and warm is where Hugglebud is ideal. Forget the gift basket and the typical ‘get well soon’ gifts - and get your loved one a Hugg! Post-surgery recovery can often mean feeling cold and uncomfortable, so giving a gift that solves both issues is worth more than words can say. A practical and versatile gift that can wrap you up like a cocoon, is soft on the skin and is wearable so you don’t have to keep pulling up a blanket, is the perfect gift.
Ultimate Comfort Without The Hassle Is Our Goal
Avoiding gifts that need to be assembled (aka Ikea), have extensive care instructions or anything that adds another layer of complexity to gifting is paramount when someone should be resting. A fully machine washable wearable blanket like Hugglebud hits the brief every time. It is easy to wear, easy to wash, fully foldable (in several ways), and give warmth without the heaviness of a traditional blanket.
Give Comfort Instead of Flowers
Most people love to receive flowers, but they also don’t last long once you get them home. For someone going through a longer period of recovery, a gift that will last means they will also feel the sentiment that goes with the gift forever. Every time your loved one wraps themselves in the Hugglebud, it reminds them of your generous and thoughtful gift. Not just the say or week it arrived, but every time they use it.
Thoughtful Gifts for New Parents
It’s easy to get caught up in a new baby when friends or family have a new addition. Adding a bub to the household is a huge emotional transition for parents, and sometimes it’s easy for them to be forgotten while all the attention goes to the new baby. Having a snuggly, warm blanket like Hugglebud that parents can use at night for feeds or simply to curl up with bub for a nap is ideal. Whether new parents are at home on the lounge or out and about at the park, staying warm and snuggly is so important.
The Best Gifts for People Who Already Have Everything
For someone who has ‘everything’, it's often very difficult to find the perfect gift. But… a lot of people in this category don't often take time to really relax. A gift that is based around comfort, relaxation and taking time to unwind is ideal. They don’t need another high-tech gift or the latest and greatest trend; a simple gift like Hugglebud can offer a completely new way for them to take some time out for R&R. Reduce stress, and give them an opportunity for more ‘me time’ and time to slow down and relax. It’s a winner on all fronts!
Gifting For Multi-Use, Not Just More Stuff
The last thing you want to do is add more ‘stuff’ to your loved one’s home that is probably already full. Unlike a bulky blanket or throw, the Hugglebud serves several purposes and also folds away to be completely discreet and compact. It can be worn as a blanket, folded into a cushion, used as a travel pillow and more. It offers way more value and takes up much less room but also conveys a message of ‘I care’ to the recipient.
