Ultimate Gifting Season!

Ultimate Gifting Season!



With Christmas and New Year round the corner, most of us must be drained with what to buy as a present. Just the thought of it can leave some of us exhausted and confused mostly because of all the sales and offers that we see wherever we go. It's not important to gift something expensive or branded. As long as it is gifted with love and effort, that's more than enough and rather your receiver should be more than thankful for it.
Below is a list of gift ideas to make your journey of buying the perfect gift less stressful:

1. Parents First:




Remember however old you are, gifting your parents should never be a burden to you. They have sacrificed their everything for you to live happy and safe. They will always accept and appreciate the smallest gift that you give them.

  • Handmade Card: 

When I was just a student with no job or income, even a small handmade card with a simple message gave me the joy of seeing my parents smile wide.  

  • Meal Treat: 

Prepare a meal for your parents and give them a day off. If you aren't that great with cooking and don't trust yourself in the kitchen, take them out for a meal and this time, instead of letting your parents pay the bill, pay for it yourself.

  • Collage/Montage of your togetherness:

If you are a crafty person, make a collage of your togetherness. With advanced technology, you can just make a montage online and play the video for your parents.

2. Your Little Bundle of Joy:



The joy on the face of your little bundle of joy unwrapping his/her gift matches no other. Step back and try to notice what are his/her likes and dislikes. What is he/she interested in.
A child is so innocent that they sometimes blurt out what they want as their present, so try being alert.

  • A trip to the amusement park/Children's resort: 

You can surprise your child with tickets to the amusement park or children's resort. What better than Disney World (if you have one in your country).  If that is out of your budget, and your child is old enough to take their own decisions (age: 10-14) take them out shopping and let them choose what they want.

  • Toys/Gadget: 

As a parent, you can't go wrong with toys for your toddler. You can get something educational for them. If they are into music instruments, bingo! Board games is also a good idea since it can come to use during family nights. If your child is old enough to be playing with toys, gadgets like a new console, an Ipad or a new video game is pretty much a good gift. Just make sure you have set rules on how long they can use it and that they take care of it.

  • School supply or outfit:

You can surprise your child with school supplies. Like a set of crayons/color pencils or a new school bag. Even an outfit would do its job.

3. Your Better Half:



"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies". It is important to value your better half, respect them and treat them well for they are going to be with you for the rest of their lives. They are the ones who have been with you during your ups and downs. Gifting them shouldn't be as hard as you think considering you know almost everything about them.

  • Dinner date:

You can't go wrong with a dinner date. As a partner, I'm sure you have noticed what his/her taste is when it comes to food. Make an effort and surprise them for this date.

  • Limited Edition:

Anything customized for your partner will make them feel special. Be it a mug, a mobile case, a frame. Nowadays, you can even make your own perfume or cologne. As long as it is custom-made only for them, they will know the effort put into it and will appreciate it for sure

  • Vacay mood on:

If your better half has a favorite tv show, you can gift her tickets to go watch the show live. If your man is into sports, you can gift him tickets to a match. If both of you love to travel, be it long drives or leisure, you can gift your better half a 3-5 days trip to the destination that has been on their bucket list.

3. Go-To Secret Keeper:-


Your sibling/friend is that person you know you can lean on during your tough times. When you have something heavy inside you that you can't share with people elder than you, it is that person you usually go to to unload your issues or that is the person who understands you.
Since you know this person on a personal level, your options are vague. You can literally get anything for this person. If it's your sibling, keep an eye on what he/she has been eyeing for.
If this person is your friend, your options can't be anymore vague. Anything that catches your eye can make a good present considering you are of the same age and have the same taste. 
If you are unable to find what interests your friend/sibling, you can't go wrong with a gift card. Gift cards give them the freedom of choosing what they want.

Happy gifting everybody!

IS DIGITAL SCHOOLING EFFECTIVE?

Image
DIGITAL SCHOOLING With the pandemic era and education on the line, many countries took to digital schooling or what we know as online schooling to educate the youth.  It looked like it was a good option for a short period but little did we know that the lockdown would cross half a year. After a couple of months of digital schooling, parents as well as students lean more towards the downside of digital schooling when asked about the affects of digital schooling and whether it was something we should consider for a long-term even after the pandemic. This time the complaints were not from students alone but also from parents. It is not always that we see parents and students on the same page. Some of the points that come to light were regarding: 1.Health: a. Poor Posture:  Since students sit for long hours in front of their systems crouched resulting in back aches, and necks. When in school, they have the recess hour as well as physical education when they can stretch their body ...

Travel Right!!! If you are used to traveling around the world or even domestically, you know for a fact that traveling can be very stressful. As a matter of fact, packing and unpacking it can leave you drained out.  Below are a few pointers to make your traveling experience stress-free and enjoyable. Pre-plan your activities for the trip:- Pre-planning your trip can help you keep note of the things you may need to carry along with you. That way you can be more organized during the course of your vacation. When you are more organized, you can enjoy the trip much better and won't miss out any moment. But at the same time, do not overplan the trip. Packing Tips:- Many people tend to make the mistake of packing on the day of travel or a night before traveling.

Struggles Of Almost Every Student

Life Of A Student... Education, one of the most important piece of knowledge parents,family,teachers and society can give to a young one. Being a student is one of the most important but also most confusing phases in the life of a child. It is those days when the parents want to treasure and document every year and progress of the child. Be it taking pictures of their first day to school, school play or dance.  However, there are a few struggles that almost every student face in their life and surprisingly these are things they usually 'Sense' than 'Express'. Below are some of those pointers I personally have felt as a student or noticed my friends going through it during my earlier years. 1.CONFUSION: When unable to understand something that is being taught in class, a student usually hesitates to ask the teacher about their doubt or to explain again with the fear that the teacher may get angry/annoyed. But more importantly, they are worried that the...
