With uncertain times still surrounding us, many people are missing out on special occasions and spending time with loved ones. Being unable to visit family and friends and provide gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations has led to a rise in consumers purchasing and sending gifts online. What’s more, food and drink gifting has become very popular due to Covid and offers a personal touch when many will be feeling isolated. It’s a straightforward process too; simply choose your items online, add a gift message and have it delivered directly to the recipient's door.
There has been an increasing trend of giving unique, thoughtful gifts for special occasions, particularly birthdays. In many cultures, food symbolises care and love and if there is a positive to come from the pandemic it is that most people have become more thoughtful when it comes to others. This is beginning to show in the way that they are gifting others. Rather than choosing quick, easy and generic gifts, more thought is being put into them.
Things to consider when choosing a gift could include:
It can be difficult to choose a meaningful gift and it helps if you at least know a little about the person and what they like. Consider what the recipient would like to receive rather than what you would like to give. Handmade or homemade gifts are a very good choice. They often represent the feelings, love and time that has gone into the gift.
Consumers have been drawn to send food gifts online, especially during the pandemic, because it’s practical, they are easy to courier, food is usually comforting and it’s a great choice for sending someone you love a lovely treat when you cannot personally see them. As mentioned previously food represents care and love and often brings many people together. The possibilities are endless now, from hampers to bespoke flapjacks and most items can be personalised with a special gift message that provides a thoughtful touch.
Yes, of course! Well here at Flapjackery, we certainly think you can. All of our flapjacks are lovingly handmade using the highest quality, gluten-free ingredients.
