Pagan Gifts

So I’ve already written a post on Pagan Wedding Gifts but have had many questions sent in asking about Pagan gifts for other occasions. Being a Pagan like with any other religion there will be plenty of things that can be given as gifts. There are some gift ideas you may want to avoid however such as items that may not be seen as being made or produced ethically. Also gadget gifts may not be as popular as gifts that are more natural or earthy. But to help you make up your mind here are the best and most popular gift ideas that a Pagan (or just about anybody) would love to receive.

1. Candles

A lot of Pagan rituals require candles so this would make a great gift idea. Colored ones are best but any type that you think looks decorative would also make a wonderful gift.

2. Books

Books make a great gift no matter who the person is. There are some great books around for either someone new to Paganism or somebody wise in their ways. Some popular titles are – Pagan Everyday: Finding the Extraordinary in our Ordinary Lives; The Pagan Book of Living and Dying; Cyberhenge: Modern Pagans on the Internet and Pagan Theology: Paganism as a World Religion.

3. Herbs

Herbs are generally very popular amongst Pagans as they can be used for their magical qualities or simply for their aromatic delights. Consider getting some herb pots or a decorative herb wreath like the one pictured below.

4. Statues or Art

Pagans often keep statues and monuments in their house so they can be honoured. Or they may just appreciate the beauty of a fine piece of art. Some popular statues choices are those of Greek or Egyptian Mythology such as Isis or Aphrodite.

5. Jewelry

Who doesn’t love jewelry? For Pagan’s jewelry can carry significant spiritual meanings and thus can be very important to them. Prayer beads are very popular among Pagans as well as Celtic symbols and charms and pendants.

The 25th wedding anniversary or also called the silver wedding anniversary is an important anniversary milestone. I think anyone would agree that spending 25 years together is something that deserves a big celebration. And as we know a celebration normally involves gifts, so here are some 25th wedding anniversary gifts that you can give to help the lucky couple celebrate this special event.

1. Silver Gifts

As we know the 25th wedding is represented by silver, so this customarily means giving a gift in silver. You can get just about anything inn silver, some options are jewelry, home decor or our top picks right here.

Engraved Silver Wedding Photo Album- Getting a silver wedding album or even a silver photo frame would make a beautiful gift for any couple so that they can share old memories or start new ones. This particular photo album makes a great gift as it can be engraved with the names of the couple to help personalize it. I also recommending putting some photos inside of the couple if you have any.

A Digital Camera – Just make sure this is silver and it would make an awesome gift for any couple. This Casio Exilim recommended by TellMeaGift is a start of the art camera and would make a great gift that no one else would have thought to get.

2. Personalized gifts

Making a gift personalized makes it that little bit more special. There are many things that you can get personalized whether it’s jewelry or wall art or our top picks right here.

The Personalized Lovopoly Monopoly Game – Getting a personalized anniversary gift is always a good idea and this game of Lovopoly is a very cute idea. With photos of the couple and the game customized to include sentimental moments in the couple’s life, this gift will have them entertained for hours.

Personalized Wedding Anniversary Throw Blankets – Not only is this something practical that the couple can use but it can be personalized with the names and the anniversary date of the couple. This is an item that the couple will cherish forever.

3. Home and Garden Gifts

Buying something for the home is always a great gift idea and you know that it will get used. Their are some many home and garden gift ideas you can get such as pillows, vases, art, sculptures and here are a couple of our favourite Home and Garden Gifts.

Candelabra- If you want to get the couple a beautiful item that they can use in their home then you can’t beat an exquisite candelabra. The Villeroy and Boch Candelabra as recommended by TellMeaGift is a distinctive piece that will light up any home and will make a wonderful gift.

Flowers – You can not go past flowers as a gift for an occasion. For a wedding anniversary make them big, make them romantic and your gift will be perfect. The roses featured here are a Vera Wang assortment, who always has the most delectable taste.

4. Entertaining Gifts

If the couple are entertainers then they will love anything that they can show off at dinner parties. Get for them any type of glassware or kitchen and dining gear. Here are our personal favorite entertaining items.

Decanter – Every good entertainer needs a good decanter. The one chosen here is not only a decanter is it a piece of art. This is hand blown leaded crystal and has been perfectly made, this is a simply divine gift.

Martini Glasses – Any type of glassware would make a great 25th Wedding Anniversary gift, but if you make it silver as well you must be into a winner. This set of four stainless steel Martini glasses will last a lifetime and they look super sleek and sexy too.

Gift Hamper Ideas

TellMeAGift — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 04:13:53 +0000

When you want to congratulate somebody for a special occasion a good idea is to get them a gift hamper. There are a number of gift hampers available online or from gift shops and it is important that you choose the right type depending on the occasion or event or with these ideas you can simply put one together yourself.

Weddings Hampers: For a wedding gift hamper you want it to be romantic. A bottle of champagne inside is a good place to start as the couple can open it to celebrate their new life together. You can also include a couple of champagne flutes. Then you can think of a specific food theme for example breakfast, dessert or Italian just to name a few. If you were choosing the breakfast theme you could include some gourmet teas and coffees, syrups, jams, muesli and maybe a nice serving plate or some nice napkins. Also if you have their wedding invitation or are sending this after the wedding you can decorate the basket with the wedding colors (because you know they like them right?)

Corporate Hampers: For a corporate hamper keep it simple and clean and try and include the company logo on the hamper somewhere. Generally you’ll probably include items like a bottle of wine/liqueur, stationary, a calendar and some gourmet nibbles.

Baby Gift Hampers: I find these the cutest of the hamper types. Make sure you make these colorful and fun. Normally they come with nappies, baby lotions (and maybe some for mummy too), baby food, jumpsuits, little baby socks and maybe a rattle or some type of plush toy as well. These are really fun to make and baby stuff is pretty cheap too. So these would be a great gift for a baby shower or new born.

All the rest: Most gift hampers are pretty similar and can be used for other occasions ranging from a birthday to a job promotion to a new house. Whilst the above are more specific the main formula stays the same really. You want a nice drop of something either a wine or a liqueur (or beer if its a male gift). Also you want some gourmet nibbles such as some nice chocolates or dips and breads or cheeses and syrups (preferably something that will preserve for awhile) and you maybe you want some kind of dinnerware (for housewarming gift) or some pampering products (for a female) or maybe a cuddly teddy bear if its a get well gift. That’s it really then put all your goodies in a nice basket, fill it and wrap it with some cellophane or paper or whatever other pretty things you find. Finish with some ribbon and voila you’ve got yourself a gift hamper.
