Your child’s birthday is coming up, and you still don’t know what gift to choose? Or maybe you’re looking for a gift for friends, but giving a classic set of flowers and wine isn’t your style? So decide on something more original! Unique gifts that will work for any occasion include. … handmade lamps!
Handmade lamps as unique gifts – how to choose them?
You may think that a lamp is not the best idea for a gift. Nothing could be further from the truth! Despite appearances, lamps – especially handmade lamps – are very versatile gifts. They can please a toddler, teenager, work colleague and senior citizen alike. Before you go shopping, however, think about a few important points. This way, all the unique gifts you give to your loved ones are sure to be a hit:
- First of all, consider the taste of the person you intend to gift. What style does he like? How does he spend his free time? What are her favorite colors?
- Also take into account the style in which the jeweler’s apartment is decorated. This way you will know what type of lamp to choose – a decorative model, an original one, or maybe a simple and classic one.
- When choosing a lamp for a gift, also pay attention to the material from which it is made. Even the most beautiful lamp made of plastic will not work in an interior decorated in an ecological, close to nature style. An industrial interior, on the other hand, is not the place for a glittering glamour lamp full of crystals.
- What kind of lamps work best as a gift? It is understood that choosing a large pendant or ceiling lamp is not a very good idea. Why? When decorating an interior in a favorite style, as a rule, everyone immediately chooses these types of lamps themselves. They are also not design elements that are changed too often in apartments. As a result, the gift of a ceiling or pendant lamp very often goes unused. However, small table lamps, standing lamps and light ornaments work great as gifts. It could be a garland with cotton balls or a fun neon sign to hang on the wall. An LED chain decoration placed in a glass jar will also work well. It will provide an original decoration for the room.
Handmade lamps for toddler – a unique gift for preschoolers
Handmade lamps can make an interesting, original gift for as young as a few years old. Children generally get toys, blocks and games. Such gifts, therefore, often make little impression on them. Other, more unique gifts – such as lamps, instead, have a good chance of being noticed by them and of being of particular interest to toddlers. To make this happen, choose lights that are attractive to children. How to do it? First of all, consider what your child likes best. Maybe they are animals, space or dinosaurs? Or maybe some character from a favorite cartoon is particularly close to the child? If yes – you have just gained a ready-made gift idea! Give your preschooler a standing lamp with his favorite theme!
But what if you don’t know your child’s interests? Opt for unique gifts that will appeal to almost every little one! These include star projector lights, decorative aquarium-type models or color-changing LED standing lamps.
Unique gifts for teenagers
If you’re looking for a handmade lamp that would be perfect as a gift for a teenager, your options are extremely numerous! Young people already have very clearly defined interests. They also often stay true to their chosen style. Respect this and match the gift to the young man’s taste, and you will make a gift that is sure to please him. What lamps should you pay attention to? Ideal unique gifts for teens include:
- practical desk lamps. This type of gift doesn’t have to be boring at all! Choose a lamp with an adjustable arm. This will allow the teenager to adjust the light output to his current needs every time. You can bet on a model that displays more data: time, date, room temperature. These types of lamps are sure to please teenagers who love modern solutions!
- You will please 11 – 12 year olds by gifting them with a color-changing light garland. You can choose classic luminous cotton balls or opt for a different design, more suited to the taste of the jeweler.
- How about an LED decorative lamp? In this category you will find models in the fun shape of a flamingo, cactus or lion. The lamp will serve as both an original decoration for the room and a gentle source of light after dark.
- As a gift, a table lamp with a striking design will also work well. Such lamps include, for example, touch-controlled models. It may also be a good idea to gift a lamp-lava, which has an additional relaxing and calming effect.
A unique wedding gift, or handmade lamps for the bride and groom
A lamp, especially a handmade model, is a great idea for a unique wedding gift. You can, for example, attach such a gift to the main gift instead of the traditional bunch of flowers. You are sure to pleasantly surprise the bride and groom this way. What type of lamp will work best as this type of gift? A great choice would be a table lamp or a small light decoration. Remember that the gift will most likely have to be delivered to the wedding hall or given to the bride and groom before the church. A small, beautifully packaged lamp will be a much less cumbersome gift than, for example, a large floor model.
Which handmade lamp should I choose? A romantic couple is sure to be pleased with a ceramic or wooden lamp with a suitably selected engraving. Modern brides and grooms, on the other hand, will appreciate a led decoration with a sentiment meant for them. Finally, you can choose a striking illuminated sculpture representing the combined first letters of the bride and groom’s names. Such a detail, in a classic white color, will look beautiful as a decoration of any interior.
Unique gifts for formal occasions – handmade lamps in elegant design
Are you looking for a suitable gift for a colleague who just celebrated a round anniversary? Or is the boss retiring? Formal occasions require an appropriate gift. Instead of a traditionally gifted watch or fountain pen, you can bet on handmade lamps. These types of unique gifts surprise, but also become extremely appreciated. If you know that your boss or colleague likes to read, you can choose a floor lamp for him. It will make his moments with a book more enjoyable, plus it will provide adequate illumination of the content being read. Choose a classic model with a light lampshade and a narrow arm – this type of lamp will suit most living rooms. It can also successfully find its place in the bedroom.
It will also be a good idea to buy a small table lamp with an engraved base. Here, too, classic models will work best. The always fashionable lampshade in white, anthracite or black combined with a ceramic base will be a great idea.
Handmade lamps as unique gifts for a new apartment
If your friends have just moved into a new apartment, you will probably go to them with a small gift. Handmade ceramic lamps are great for this type of unique gift idea. Choose a trinket best suited to the style in which friends have decorated the apartment. You can opt for an illuminated figurine or garland to place on the wall. You are only limited by your imagination and knowledge of the interests of the people you intend to gift.
Handmade lamps are a great, original idea for unique gifts. This type of gift is chosen extremely rarely – and that is why it surprises and pleases the recipients at the same time. If by now you have not been able to find the perfect gift for an upcoming occasion, try looking for the right lamp. Perhaps it will turn out to be a gift with which you will give your loved one a lot of joy.
