‘Thank You’. Two words that mean so much when heard and easily express gratitude for another person’s words or actions. Whether someone has helped you with a quick task at work, babysat the kids or dropped off delicious food at your door, a Thank You rarely goes amiss.
If you want to, you may also accompany a Thank You with a small gift. For those with a budget in mind, here are 4 timeless and thoughtful Thank You gift ideas under £30.
1. Purses, clutches and handbags… oh my!
And no, you don’t have to spend a fortune to find a nice bag! There are plenty of options for purses, shoppers and tote bags for under £30 to choose from, combining style with practicality. If not a bag, consider a money purse, card wallet or a cosmetic bag. Not only will your gift be thoughtful and practical, but the recipient will think of you whenever they use it, as a regular reminder of your gratitude.
2. Is it getting hot in here?
There are very few women who don’t enjoy receiving candles as a gift. Today, there are plenty of styles available from traditional candles to bubble candles and even tasteful nude candles that are often on display in modern homes.
Or, if fragrances are more their thing, choose a stylish scented candle, a reed diffuser or a wax melts package (burner and melts) to add some aroma to their home.
3. Stylish and cosy
Whether it’s a silk scarf, a soft pashmina or a cosy oversized blanket hoodie, cosy, wearable gifts are a great pick. Less risky than picking out something that you think would suit their fashion sense, a stylish and cosy accessory is a thoughtful and often timeless idea.
Along the lines of cosy, another option is a heated blanket! Cheap to run, effective and calming, this is the perfect gift for anyone who always complains that they’re chilly…
4. A killer combo
For homebodies, self-care pros or a lovers of fragrance, bath bombs are the ultimate gift choice. You can choose to gift one or a collection of several, and we suggest wrapping them up in tissue paper to keep them dry and prevent any staining.
There is an enormous range of handmade bath bombs (and colours) to choose from and many scents to accompany them! Choose rose or lavender for relaxation, citrus or lemongrass for a pick-me-up or jasmine and ylang-ylang for a sensual mood boost.
