Have you ever been in a situation where you have to buy a gift for someone you don’t know very well? Perhaps you’re in a secret Santa situation at work or want to get something for your child’s teacher to show your appreciation. It’s not always easy to pick out a gift for someone who is a casual acquaintance. If you don’t know their interests or hobbies, your options may feel limited. You can always go with a gift card, but that feels so impersonal. Fortunately, we have some great gift ideas for people you don’t know very well that can help the next time you’re in this situation.
Coaster Set
Coasters are items that everybody should have, but not everybody thinks to buy. Coasters are great for keeping condensation from your drinks from damaging your furniture and leaving unsightly rings. A lovely decorative coaster set usually comes with four or six coasters and is a perfect gift no matter what beverages your casual acquaintance prefers.
Scented Candles
A nice candle is an excellent way to bring fresh scents into a room, and unless your gift recipient is particularly sensitive to smells, a scented candle is a perfect way to make an impression. With various scents ranging from fresh pine to fun and fruity aromas, scented candles are uplifting and a safe bet when picking out a gift.
Snacks and Munchies
Who doesn’t love to occasionally nibble on something yummy? When in doubt for gift ideas, snacks are the perfect gift idea for someone you don’t know very well because you can get them nearly anywhere, and the possibilities are endless. Whether you want to get them some famous fudge from your local candy shop, a cheese and sausage kit, or a box of your favorite Japanese rice crackers, a food-centric gift will always be a hit.
However, before buying snacks for someone, it may be good to know a few things about the person, such as any food allergies or medical conditions they may have, such as diabetes. A beef jerky sampler kit goes from a great gift to an awkward conversation when the recipient tells you they’re a vegetarian.
