5 Ways to Surprise Someone with Gifts

From keeping gifts a secret to hiding gifts for a treasure hunt task, we’ve compiled five ways you can do a gift surprise for your friends and family.

Surprise gift delivery

Imagine the look on someone’s face when they receive an unexpected delivery during their celebration. Whether it’s flowers, chocolates, or a thoughtful gift, delivery services come in handy to surprise someone in a truly unique way. It’s also the perfect solution for when you can’t be there in person to give them the gift yourself.

Wrap gifts creatively

Gift packaging help enhance the surprise of gifting someone. Wrapping gifts in creative wrappers and ribbons will make your recipient feel appreciated on their special occasion, especially if it’s a surprise gift. You can opt for a DIY gift wrap or take advantage of SM Store’s Gift Wrapping services.

Wrap up special gifts for free at SM Store with a minimum purchase requirement. Choose from a wide variety of available wrappers, bags, and boxes to wrap them up. What’s more, you can add ribbons to make it extra special.

Utilize a gift registry

Using someone’s gift registry is a foolproof hack to surprise them with the gift they’ve always wanted to receive. It’s up to you as guests to secretly purchase the items from their gift registry and keep it a surprise until the time comes to reveal the presents. When they receive the gift, they’ll be surprised and touched that you took the time to get them something they wanted.

On the other hand, if you’re planning a surprise party for someone, it’s best to collaborate with their close friends or family members to create a registry that you know they would love, but haven’t thought of themselves. This will make for a thoughtful and personalized surprise that they’ll appreciate. You can make one through SM Store’s Gift Registry!

Organize a treasure hunt

If your recipient enjoys working hard for rewards, surprise them with a creative and memorable gift-giving experience through a scavenger or treasure hunt. You can place clues in plain sight, add physical challenges to their routine, or involve their friends and family in the surprise clues.

This takes planning and thoughtfulness to pull off successfully, but the result is worth it—giving them an item they truly want with an added fun factor.

Go back to their favorites

For couples, make your gift-giving extra special by incorporating your unique relationship memories into the surprise. It doesn’t have to be a grand location. It could be as simple as the fast-food drive-thru where you shared your first kiss.

You could even bundle it with an activity your partner enjoys, like attending a concert or going on a hike. Be sure to keep the gift hidden until it’s time for the surprise.

Can’t decide on a gift? We’ve got tips for you

Finding the perfect surprise gift for someone can be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to show them how much you care. Whether it’s for birthdays, weddings, or baby showers, here are some helpful tips to help you choose a gift they’ll love:

Consider their hobbies and interests

In choosing a gift for a surprise, it’s essential to consider the recipient’s personality, interests, and hobbies. You can start by making a list of the things they love to do. For instance, music lovers would appreciate albums or merchandise from their favorite band, while artistic individuals would enjoy art or craft supplies.

Consider experiences

Spending quality time is also valuable. Experiences like dinner, drinks, concerts, or movies are not only fun but also show that you care. Consider your friend’s personality and interests when choosing an experience-based gift. A museum, aquarium, or zoo membership can offer a year of free entry and special perks. Feel free to think outside the box and surprise your friend with a unique experience, like the thrill of a roller coaster at Sky Ranch.

Give what they need

Consider practical items that can be used in everyday life. If your friend is always on the go, a travel mug or portable charger would be a thoughtful and useful choice. The recipient will appreciate that you not only thought of them but also considered their daily routine and needs.
