If you’re not sure how to approach  business gift-giving, here are a few do’s and don’ts to help you face this challenge and get gifts, which will be appreciated.

Do: Make a list

Even at work making a gift is a personal gesture. Consider all the people at work you want to get a present for. Think about your work environment – your colleagues, supervisors and maybe future business clients and even coworkers – and make a list with suitable gift ideas.

Don’t: Worry if you don’t have any ready gift ideas

At Barlize.de you can always find ready gift ideas, which are suitable not only for your office coworkers and friends, but also for the given occasion. From “Thank you” presents to holidays gifts and surprises. Just have a look and you will find the perfect present!

Do: Think about the recipient

Think about the person you are getting a gift for. How long have you known each other or have you worked together? What will be useful or enjoyable for the recipient? Where is the recipient from and do their culture have different perceptions when it comes to gift-giving? You don’t want to make a mistake that can hurt rather than help you and your business.

Don’t: Forget about the specific occasion

Are you getting the gift as a thank you or for a special occasion? Certain gifts are more appropriate at specific times than others. Near Christmas for example it’s better to get a gift with a holiday spirit, but for office celebrations formal gifts are preferable.

Do: Get a thoughtful gift

Getting a gift that shows thoughtfulness it’s not an easy task. Keep in mind things your coworkers and business friends need. And think about which gifts would be truly appreciated. Modern Suitcases for the always busy ones, a classy accessories and scarfs for the trend followers and a artwork for the art admirer.

Don’t: Set a low-budget

When it comes to gifts quality matters. No one likes cheap gifts. That doesn’t mean you should buy extremely expensive gifts for everyone. Consider each one on your gift list and set a reasonable budget that’s fair for everyone – not too high, but also not too low.

Be inspired by the season!

Is this the birthday of a close friend, family member, or colleague, and you have no idea for a present? Let’s take a look at the inspirational machine – experience again that giving presents is at least as enjoyable as being given a gift!

Take a look out of the window!

The main source of inspiration lies right under our noses: each season brings its temperature and weather features. And if that does not bring a suitable result, we cultivate customs and festivities in every season, which can also provide ideas for brainstorming for a suitable present. So…

Let’s get started!

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Saint Martin …

Pumpkin lanterns, spiders, skeletons, and ingredients, and pumpkin pies recipes make us laugh in the shops. Halloween has long conquered Europe, and while there are no “Halloween gifts” to our knowledge, we are inspired by the traditions and customs of the ghostly festival.

Would you like to give a present to your partner? Or your new crush?

Around Halloween there are traditionally many fortune telling games and games to predict the future. The topic of relationship and partnership is particularly important. Unmarried people should be able to see the face of their future partner on Halloween while looking in the mirror.

You also may find something suitable and funny for your colleagues or your child’s teachers, around Halloween.

If not, there are even more autumn festivals. First and most important are the ideas for presents for Thanksgiving. The range of fruits in the Halloween season is particularly rich, colourful and wide – that makes you want the autumn colours at home. Therefore, a nice gift can therefore be a small or larger shell. Present your gift with multicoloured pumpkins and autumnal leaves gathered in the park with your child, and then tell your friends how you prepared the gift for you. So you breathe life into the eternal mantra of the personal gift and at the same time learn that it is not the price that matters, but your commitment.

Outside, it gets uncomfortable – cuddly and warming for the home

Candles are not just for remembering the dead and Halloween. They are the epitome of cosiness, everywhere, where since October the late afternoons become darker and the temperatures drop.
Candle holders are a classical gift, and when they shouldn’t be made from a carved pumpkin, how about an indoor lantern? It spreads a particularly warm and cozy light.

A fine silk scarf also provides warmth with a wonderful autumn motive: the vineyards of Vincent van Gogh, or one of Vermeer’s play of light and shadow.

Does your child have a birthday and it is cold to throw a birthday party outside? With a popcorn machine, the kids will certainly be busy inside for a while. You see, with weather, colors and festivals the autumn holds a lot of occasions for a present inspiration. Grab it!

When is Easter?…

Every year in March or April Easter is celebrated on a long weekend. But what exactly do we celebrate and is it really just a matter of chocolate bunnies and eggs for the kids?

Even if the egg hunt at Easter is the highlight for the kids, we adults should not forget about us. It’s a lot more than to hide a few eggs. We should dedicate the holidays to our friends and families and spend some nice hours together.

After the end of the 40-day Lent, Easter is heralded. It begins on Maundy Thursday and has its peak after Good Friday & Holy Saturday on the so-called Easter Sunday, the highest holiday of the church year. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Egg-hunt and the tradition…

Similar to the Christmas season, the apartments and houses are decorated with painted eggs, branches or Easter bunnies.

Since most people get a few days off on this long weekend, this time is dedicated to family, children and friends. Tradition is the Easter breakfast with a delicious home baked Easter plait and the egg hunt afterwards.

So there is no better occasion to please your loved ones with a special and extraordinary gift. How about a bread-maker for mom or grandma, so the next family celebration with home-baked bread is even more enjoyable.

Where to find?…

Easter gifts and other selected products can be found on our Barlize website for special gifts.

Of course, we also thought of your girlfriend / wife and children. Take a look at our different categories for ideas, there is something nice for everyone. What gives more joy than to show some affection and esteem to your beloved person and to make them happy.

Christmas means relaxation, love and festive mood. However, the pursuit of a perfect holiday often leads to high stress levels. Where does all this stress come from and how can we best avoid it, we will inform you in the following short article.

Around Christmas

the number of tasks quickly grows. The closer Christmas comes, the more the duties become: shopping, finding gifts for all, decorating the home, etc. That’s why Christmas preparation is often at the forefront of the whole stress experience. It’s easier doing it by starting planning earlier. Cooking and baking are an important part of the Christmas preparation. Often, however, they are postponed for the last minute, which leads to additional stress short bevor the holiday. Planning the menu and writing down the necessary products is the first important step. A grocery list would help a lot, especially if you prefer not buying all products at once, but rather one after another in order of priority. In addition, one can also change something in the process itself. Instead of preparing everything by yourself, you can firstly, get help and secondly, share the cook-related tasks with the relatives.

The same applies to the gifts-buying. It’s best if you carefully plan the whole process from the first to the last step. You can inspire yourself by our ideas for choosing the perfect present. You don’t have to worry about the rest, because we will take care of getting your presents packed and punctually delivered. Take your time anyway. An online order makes everything much more convenient and faster, but the delivery time is sometimes different and this must of course be taken into account. The advantage here is the fact that the whole Christmas rush and the crowds in the stores are spared, which makes everything much more relaxed.

Part of the preparation

is the opinion of all involved friends, acquaintances and relatives. It’s best to ask everyone how they imagine the Christmas party. Would they like more food or more drinks? Are certain activities such as games or walks in between preferred? Depending on this, you could then incorporate new creative ideas into your Christmas party. Your wishes and needs are also important, don’t forget to consider them! If you like to dance or sing, include that as well.
