Have you ever received a gift that you that you still remember or have kept to this day?
For me it was a gift I got on Mother’s Day from my husband and kids.
What was it?
A 6 pack of….
Fairlife Chocolate Protein Shake!
I know what you’re thinking–Seriously? That’s your all-time favorite gift?
Yup.
Here’s why.
Mother’s Day was usually predictable. My family would take me out for lunch or dinner. We would settle into our table; I would order a glass of wine (my fav!) and they would give me a gift. Always beautiful and enjoyable, but the gift –not very memorable.
But the year I got the protein shakes? It was different.
That year, I was recovering from surgery and on a strict liquid diet. Going out for a meal was out of the question. My favorite glass of wine? Off the table. It was a bit of a bummer, but my family decided to make the day special in their own way.
They handed me a gift bag.
Inside, I found the protein shakes.
At first, I was surprised. Protein shakes? For Mother’s Day?
But then it hit me. I needed these and I would’ve never thought to buy them.
They weren’t just any protein shakes—they were delicious, gave me the nutrients I needed, and even satisfied my sweet tooth. In that moment, I felt so seen, so cared for.
That gift wasn’t just thoughtful. It was perfect.
When you’re choosing gifts for your loved ones this holiday season, remember—it’s not about how big, fancy, or obvious the gift is.
The most memorable gifts are the ones that show thought, care, and creativity.
Here are some tips to make your gifts truly unforgettable:
Make it meaningful.
I’m not sure who came up with the old saying ‘it’s the thought that counts’ – because the truth is it’s the thought that counts when there is meaning to it.
Think about what is going on in their life right now. Are they going through a big change, like I was with my surgery? Are they facing challenges or celebrating milestones?
For example, if they’ve started a new hobby, a gift that supports their journey shows you’ve paid attention. If they’re going through something tough, a gift that lifts their spirits can mean the world.
The more personal the gift, the more it will resonate.
It’s simply: Usefull.
Practical gifts might not seem exciting at first, but they can be very impactful. Think of something they’ll use often—a tool, an item for their daily routine, or something that simplifies their life.
The key is to find something that solves a problem or makes things easier for them. Each time they use it, they’ll think of you. That’s how a simple gift becomes unforgettable.
They would never buy it for themselves.
Everyone has something they would never buy for themselves but would absolutely love to have.
It could be a luxury they’ve been eyeing or something quirky they’d never justify buying. Either way, it’ll feel like a treat they didn’t even know they needed.
Surprise them.
Suprises make it memorable. A gift around someone’s primary interests won’t be much of a surprise. Plus, everyone is likely going to be giving them those gifts.
If someone loves basketball, they are most likely going to get a bunch of basketball related gifts. And they probably have a closet full of that stuff already.
Instead, think outside the box.
Is there a side hobby or interest they’ve mentioned in passing but never explored? Gifts tied to secondary interests are often unexpected and memorable. They’ll remember not just the gift but also the fact that you paid attention to those little details.
Solve a problem, or meet a need.
Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that meet a pressing need. Maybe their favorite jacket is worn out, and you find a stylish replacement. Or they’ve been struggling to stay organized, and you give them a planner that fits their lifestyle.
These gifts might not have the surprise factor, but they’ll earn genuine gratitude. When you fill a gap in their life, your gift becomes something they treasure.
Finding a gift that checks all these boxes can feel overwhelming.
But what if there was a gift that did it all?
