Pay Attention (to detail)
Okay so you’ve thought about the gift, the card and the other details - but don’t fall at the last hurdle by presenting the gift in a plastic bag. You are better than this. Check out our wrapping paper or if you suck at wrapping, we have some pretty gift bags for the win.
Make It Instant
What if you’ve completely run out of time and left everything until the last minute? We’ve been there. Or maybe your gift is delayed in the post and you need an amazing plan B. If this is you, check out our downloadable activity here and also get them a gift card so that they can buy whatever their heart desires.
So there you have it. A little bit of thought goes a long way. And like Ice Cube said: you can do it, put your back into it.
