When someone we love is going through a rough patch or is going through a difficult time, a small gift can be the perfect gesture to lift their spirits and remind them how much we care. It's not about spending a lot: just the fact that he or she sees that you have taken the time to prepare something special will make him or her feel much better. On occasions like these, personalised gifts become a particularly good option, as they can be engraved or printed with messages of encouragement, fun or sentiment, in a unique and special way.
Here are some ideas for personalised gifts that can help lift the spirits of a friend, family member, or any loved one going through a difficult time.
Candy and chocolate! Of course, it's a classic: who doesn't like chocolate or sweets? At Wanapix we have boxes of sweets and chocolates, where you can also personalise the box with an encouraging or funny message, and when you open it, you'll see that it's full of chocolates and candy. This will cheer anyone up!
Personalised mugs: A mug with a message of encouragement or a photo together that recalls a fun day can be a very uplifting gesture. Every time that person uses it to drink their coffee or tea, they will be reminded of the support you are sending them.
Cushions with positive messages: A soft personalised cushion with inspirational words or positive phrases can be a reminder that there is always something to smile about. Personalise the cushion with a phrase that is special to that person and gives them encouragement and strength.
Special photographs: You can collect photos of happy moments together (a trip, a festival, a birthday...) and create a collage or a personalised picture. This collage can be printed in large format (photo canvases, paintings) or smaller, such as in photo frames to place on the bedside table. Ideal to lift your spirits at a glance.
Tea and infusions box: Herbal teas have many good properties, they are relaxing, they help well-being... so this gift has a double advantage. On the one hand, our personalised wooden tea boxes allow you to personalise the lid to your liking and add a phrase of encouragement or a nice photo. On the other hand, it has a practical use, as it comes with several tea bags so that they can drink them little by little.
Album with memories: You can create a photobook with photographs and memories of special moments and shared experiences. This gift will remind them that there are always happy moments to look forward to.
Puzzle with sphoto: A puzzle with a special photo with family or friends will also delight him/her. In addition to the gift itself, they will be entertained while assembling the puzzle. A particularly good gift for people who have to stay at home or in hospital for a long period of time: it is a healthy entertainment, in which the mind is freed from other thoughts and one can concentrate on solving the game.
Little things with positive messages: A bracelet or key ring with a photo or a phrase of encouragement can be a small but emotionally meaningful gift. Every time the person wears it, they will feel the support you are sending them.
Gifts for the sick or hospitalised
All the gifts that we have proposed, and all those that appear in this category, are also suitable for people who do not have health problems but are simply in a bad mood. Or for people who, for whatever reason, have to spend some time at home or in hospital due to illness or accidents. In this case, as well as thinking of gifts that will lift their spirits and bring a smile to their faces, think of gifts that will help them be entertained and pass the hours more quickly: puzzles, board and card games, books, etc.
Remember that the most important thing when choosing a personalised gift to lift their spirits is to show your support and affection. Every little detail, whether it's an encouraging phrase, a photo of you together or a funny message, can make a difference to the mood of your loved one. Consider the person's interests and hobbies when selecting the right personalised gift. The key is to give them a message of hope, joy and strength through a small gift that means something special to them.
In difficult times, the power of a personalised gift lies in the emotional connection it creates. Make that special person feel that they are not alone, that they can count on your unconditional support and that there are reasons to keep going. It's not about spending a lot, but about having that gesture that is so simple but can help a lot.
