People tend to only give presents to loved ones at special occasions, such as birthdays and at Christmas. But there are many reasons why you should give a gift ‘just because’ and you will be amazed at the impact that this can have on someone’s day, your relationship with them and even your own happiness.

Lift Their Mood

While receiving presents at special occasions is great, you will notice that an unexpected gift will really make somebody’s day and boost their mood, as it is completely out of the blue and shows that you have been thinking about them. Even just a small gift can have this effect, so it is certainly worth thinking about the next time that you have plans to see loved ones.

Why During the Pandemic is a Good Time

Now is a particularly good time to give someone a gift just for the sake of it due to the pandemic. It has been a difficult time for everyone and people have been affected in different ways, including not being able to spend as much time with loved ones. This is why giving somebody a gift during this difficult time is a great idea and could really lift their mood, especially if the pandemic has been particularly hard for them. Even if you are unable to see them, you could order a gift from somewhere like Card Factory and have it delivered to their door.

Lift Your Own Mood

Another good reason to give a present just for the sake of it, is that you should notice that it improves your own mood. Knowing that you have made somebody’s day will lift your own mood and help you to feel good about yourself. So if you are feeling down then you might find that giving someone a gift as opposed to treating yourself could actually have a better result.

Alternative Reasons

While a gift out of the blue should certainly be considered, you might also find that buying a gift for an alternative reason could also help to brighten someone’s day as well as your own. This might include if somebody is feeling ill, if they have recently started a new job or simply if they are going through a bit of a rough patch and could do with some support and encouragement. Subscription boxes are particularly good, as they are a gift that keeps giving too.

As you can see, there are many reasons to give a present to a loved one ‘just because’. Giving someone an unexpected gift shows that you have been thinking about them and can really lift their mood, which given the current situation is something that can really have an impact. In addition to making someone’s day with a spontaneous gift, you should also find that this lifts your own mood so it is a win-win situation for everyone and something that more people should do.
