f you ask me, the most stressful
job in this world is choosing gifts for your loved ones.
Think about it….
First, you have to think from the
shoes of recipient and figure out what he/she might like. You have to
brainstorm within yourself and conclude on something. You should also
anticipate the response you would be getting from that person after unwrapping
it. If it is a wide smile, or tears of happiness, a thank you from the heart, a
bear hug or a passionate kiss… you would pat on yourself on your back – Mission
accomplished!!!! Soon, all the efforts would look like cakewalk (though you know that it was not). However,
for some unfortunate reasons if the recipient doesn’t like it, then, you would
feel miserable like never before.
So, as you can see, buying gifts to
loved ones is more about ourselves than the recipient per se. It is about how
happy we would feel by seeing them happy. Therefore, it comes back to the same
old million dollar question – what gift could make him/her happy?!
For all of you who have this question
in their mind, I have one option to think about - A Story
Box!!! It would be really appealing and flattering if your recipient enjoys
reading. You can also give it as a gift to anyone whom you think can (re)start their
reading habit. In short, this is a brilliant gift idea.
Last week, when I received the
package, I was excited beyond words. When I opened the box which looks more
like a hardcover book, I was flabbergasted to see an assortment of things – an exquisite
metallic bookmark, 4 wooden coasters with nice quotes and a beautiful
hand-stitched journal! I saw that the friends who were there with me when I
opened the book were equally happy. That’s when I realized that this box is
something more than a hodgepodge – but they are well chosen things that would
steal the recipient’s heart!
Four custom made coasters with beautiful imagery and quotes from plucky women writers.
Dimensions: 3.5" x 3.5" (4)
Material: Digitally printed on high quality MDF with wipe-able gloss finish.
Coasters with nice Quotes - Food for Intellects! |
A hardbound, hand stitched journal; just what you need to pen that unwritten saga in your head.
Dimensions: 5" x 7"
Material: Luxurious vellum paper, blank and unlined
Beautiful Journal - Writer's Asset! |
An intricately cut bookmark with golden lacquered finish; something that you will treasure for ever.
Dimensions: 3.2" x 2"
Material: Brass
Intricate Bookmark - Reader's Pride! |
So all you people who are looking for a perfect gift – Story box is an option!

ReplyDeleteYou might get one soon :D
DeleteThat seems to be a nice gift.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Deletenice! i love that peacock!! The fashion of such boxes like cosmetic boxes, gourmet boxes, etc is rising each day
ReplyDeletethis venture is by two women, I love this thing! :D
DeleteReally..! These ideas are unique... They indeed think out of the box, i say :)
DeleteThanks Ankita :)
Loved the bookmark!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteMe too :)
DeleteThat must have been a thoughtful gifter.Or he /she may have sensed your liking.
ReplyDeleteBut conversely if you were not the person with such tastes , well then??
As I said, this gift can also be given to anyone whom you think can develop reading habits...
DeleteWhat do you think? Besides, its so pretty... Who would not like it :D
Btw,,, I got this box for review :)
They could have included more peacock (or other) book marks -- that's beautiful and useful. A better gift idea is to give an Amazon voucher and let book lovers select their own books to read :)

I personally hate vouchers... They are so impersonal and easy option...
DeleteBut imagine... if someone goes out of their way... Thinks about gift ideas and presents something both unique and useful!!!!
I'm a booklover! I'd appreciate that if it were given to me. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers!!!
