Gift sets in Kenya are commonly confused with gift hampers. Although they are similar, they have noticeable differences, something you should know before selecting any of them. This article will discuss tips on how to choose the best gift sets, plus a few selected examples from Gift World Kenya that you should emulate when you think about these kinds of gifts.

A Gift set is a group of related items packaged together and presented to someone. Whereas a gift hamper is made up of different things that are related to the theme, the items in a gift set are all for the same purpose or are meant to perform the same function.

Tips on How to Select the Best Gift Sets

Selecting the correct gift set may not be as easy as it seems. But if you bear the following points in mind, you always get it right regarding these gifts.

• Understand the recipient. Any gift should be about the recipient. Before picking any gift set, you should learn about the likes, tastes, preferences, and the recipient’s style. While the recipient’s likes will guide you on what they need, knowing their dislikes will keep you from selecting the wrong gift. Look at their hobbies and daily activities and use that information when selecting a gift set. Although these may seem minor personal details, they are always helpful regarding gift sets.

• Know the occasion. Just like an ordinary gift, a gift set should mirror the occasion on which it is being presented. Whether it is birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s, graduations, weddings, etc., each event has a suitable gift set. It would help if you ensured that the gift set matches the occasion. It is embarrassing to have the wrong gift set on an event as that shows you have not taken time to learn about the recipient and what is happening in their lives.

• Have a budget. Setting a budget you are willing to follow on gift sets ensures that you already have a rough idea of what to select. You will be able to concentrate on the items within that budget and avoid aimless shopping, which could eventually hurt your finances. Knowing the kind of gift set to select will also help you save time from looking at things that are out of your budget.

• Package well. Packaging is an essential aspect of gift sets. It shows the extent you have gone and the effort you have put into presenting the gift set. Proper gift packaging speaks volumes about you and will make your gifts more interesting. Always use good-quality wrapping paper, ribbon, tape, and a gift tag. Gift sellers usually have packaging services at a small extra cost, and it is highly recommended you take advantage of that and have your gift set beautifully packaged.

• Personalize the box. Most gift sets come in boxes that can be personalized and customized according to your wishes. If it is possible to personalize a gift set, please do so. Having the recipient’s name or initials engraved on the gift box makes your gift unique and shows how thoughtful you are. If the box cannot be personalized, you should have a message card accompanying the gift set. Make sure you congratulate the recipient and wish them well on their special occasion.

• Proper shipping. If you will not be personally delivering the gift set to the recipient, ensure that the delivery method you use is trustworthy and that the gift set will get to its destination intact. It would be very embarrassing going to all those lengths to ensure you get the right gift set only to have it damaged during transit. The delivery courier should be able to compensate you in case of damages.

• Buy from trusted sellers. Another way to ensure you get a suitable gift set is by engaging trusted sellers. A trusted seller means experts in the gift industry who will be able to advise you accordingly as well as offer you diverse options when it comes to gifts. Look at the quality of gift sets, customer service, after-sales services, packaging, and whether they do deliveries. Having a trusted partner regarding gift sets will ensure that you have a qualified second pair of eyes on your gift sets.
