Individual gifts show appreciation

You know it very well from your own experience, but a small personal gift shows much more honest appreciation than a shopping voucher. Even when its monetary value is higher. And when it comes to a birthday gift after several years of good collaborative work you probably do not want to give your colleague a gift card for the umpteenth time.

The personal gift says much more than “the company spent a little money for you”. It shows that you and, of course, other employees have invested not just money but also time. Time to think, time to look for, time to get something that will deliver delight to your male or female colleague, something that they really enjoy and is personally addressed.

Sense of gifts for female bosses and colleagues

Gifts for a colleague, employee or boss require intuition. You want to show your appreciation to the person and her work, but without currying favour. Ideally, the gift creates a relationship of a shared experience. What did you laugh at in the canteen together? Did the colleague tell you about his daughter’s first tooth? Didn’t you row together in a canoe during the last team building ?
Collect such experiences and impressions, and when you have a gift idea, put it into action right away. It can take a while before the next gift giving occasion comes.

Give anti-cyclical

And why you should wait for one of the usual occasions? John Ruhlin, the guru of the strategic gift, points out that the value of gifts is lost during the usual gifts occasion time, i.e. holidays. But if you invest in the gifts with a working context, as you do it in your personal life, you will be able to strengthen your professional relationships. So why do you not use this inspiration right away? Or do not reward your team for the successful completion of the large project with a little attention?

Worried about the choice? BarliZe Gift Finder!

Even if you know exactly what the person likes, the decision is not always easy in the flood of offers. There is help for this: the gift finder from BarliZe. Even if you do not know the colleague well, choosing an individual gift for the colleague is not a rocket science. Barlize offers a wide range of small and large gifts for everyone and every occasion. Particularly convenient and helpful here is the search function, which you can customize. With the very detailed possibilities of the restriction, you can quickly reach a selection of suitable gifts.

The BarliZe website offers a variety of categories and subdivisions to simplify the search. In addition to the classics such as “For Him”, “For Them” and “For Children”, you will have the opportunity to add the whole thing to other subcategories, such as: for girlfriend / friend, mother-in-law / father-in-law, teen, grandparents and many more.

If these subcategories are not enough, we also offer filters for events such as birthdays, holidays etc. and product types, such as “Adventure & Sports”, “Business”, “Home & Garden”, and much more. So everyone will find what they are looking for quickly and easily.

Last but not least: do not forget tax regulations for gifts in the work context

However, with all the enthusiasm about the personal gesture, do not forget the tax rules on gifts for employees. Note the different upper limits for tax-free benefits for employees on different occasions. It would be a pity if the recipient to whom you wanted to show genuine interest and appreciation have to pay extra taxes for the gift he had received from you.

Throughout the world, people please their loved ones with a nice present.

To present someone should show appreciation love or gratitude to the partner, the family or friends. Not only the recipient is happy, also the giver usually takes great pleasure in the reaction of the other.

In Germany, it is already good practice to give each other a present on occasions like Christmas, birthday, etc. Although the tastes differ from person to person, certain preferences and habits of the Germans can still be recognized. But which presents are popular among Germans?

Compared to other countries and cultures Germans are probably a bit uncreative and maybe less experimental because mostly vouchers are given away these days. This can also be due to the unimaginative wishes of the people.

According to surveys, in addition to gift vouchers, especially cosmetics, books, toys and electrical appliances are popular. Of course, this also depends on the age and sex of the person to be gifted. Women are happy about a nice perfume or a new cream, men rather like a new knife for the kitchen or something useful. Books are very popular with both sexes and also in all age groups and are always a good gift if you are unsure about the other person’s preferences.

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.
