How to Choose a Gift That Will Be Remembered Forever
In a world where everything is just a click away, choosing a gift has truly become an art. Especially during the holiday season, we find ourselves wondering: how can we surprise our loved ones? How can we express our feelings and care in a way that creates an unforgettable moment?
Some take a pragmatic approach - creating wish lists or simply sharing links to desired items. Convenient? Absolutely. But where’s the magic in a gift that’s selected with heart, with thoughts about the person, their passions, habits, and dreams?
I’ve always been a believer in gifts that tell a story. For me, it’s not just about the gift itself, but about the process of choosing it - the warmth of thinking about the person, recalling what they love, and searching for something truly special. Even if the gift isn’t entirely what they expected, it’s filled with meaning and emotions that can’t be replaced.
But there are gifts that bring more than joy - they create real emotions. These are the memories that stay with us for a lifetime. I remember how, for my 25th birthday, I went skydiving - it was a gift that completely transformed my perspective on fear and exhilaration. Or how I was surprised with spontaneous birthday celebrations in London and Paris. These moments are impossible to forget.
These are the kinds of emotions I strive to create when I work on my illustrations. By ordering a portrait of a loved one or an item featuring their image, you’re not just giving a picture or an object - you’re giving a memory that will last for years. It’s a story told through a drawing, infused with warmth, care, and love.
For example, one of my recent works was a portrait commissioned by friends for their dear friend’s 40th birthday. It was a gift that moved everyone to tears. Every stroke in that portrait carried attention to detail, respect, and love. It wasn’t just a portrait - it was a little universe, capturing the meaningful moments of her life.
We’re all different, and everyone cherishes something unique, but a gift made with heart always finds its way to the recipient’s soul. Let your gifts be more than just things - let them be symbols of care, love, and sincerity.
