Best keepsakes to mark special occasions

Finding the perfect present for special occasions can be a challenge. You want to mark the occasion thoughtfully, but without giving a gift that will be put away and rarely looked at. Personalised items are always a hit, as they show the receiver that you have put effort into the gift. Thoughtful gifts are also a great way to show someone how much they mean, to you.



Here are some ideas for the best keepsakes for marking special occasions.

Jewellery

Jewellery is a timeless gift for most occasions. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and broaches can all make for a ‘wow’ gift. A stunning and elegant diamond necklace can be treasured for many years while being versatile enough to wear with lots of different outfits.

Although you may think of female recipients for jewellery, men will enjoy it as a gift too. You could choose an engraved ring with a special date or a leather-style bracelet for a more masculine feel.

Consider Pre-Owned Luxury Jewellery

When building your jewellery collection, it’s worth exploring the world of pre-owned luxury pieces. Purchasing pre-owned jewellery allows you to invest in high-quality, designer pieces at a fraction of the original cost. Not only do you get access to unique, timeless items that may no longer be available in stores, but you can also find classic pieces from luxury brands like Cartier, Tiffany & Co., and Bulgari at significantly lower prices. Shopping for pre-owned jewellery is a smart way to elevate your collection without breaking the bank, ensuring you get more value for your investment.

Personalised home décor

Moving into a new home is a momentous occasion that should be treated as such. When you are shopping for the perfect new home gift, why not choose something personalised?

You could get a photo framed of the first time the homeowners picked up their keys and have it engraved with the date. Or get a map made with a heart to signify the location of their new home.

Personalised home décor can be great for other occasions. Mother’s and Father’s Days are the ideal time for family photos, comfy cushions, and even engraved family clocks.

Memory books and albums

The birth of a child is a joyous occasion, as is their first birthday. The focus should always be on the child, but it can be nice to buy the parents a little present as well to celebrate them being amazing parents for a whole year.

Creating a memory book full of photos from their first year as parents will help them to remember all the good memories they have made. Plus, they are relatively easy to make. If you wanted to add an extra flourish, you could create a scrapbook-style album by hand instead.

Experience souvenirs

Life is full of experiences that make up beautiful memories. Chances are you have kept mementoes such as plane tickets, cinema ticket stubs, beer mats, and other small items from dates and holidays with your significant other. Get your creative hat on and create a collage of all these memories. For an extra layer of specialness, pop it in a glass shadow box so it can be displayed with pride in your home. This is the perfect project to unleash your creativity. Remember to back any tickets, etc., with cardboard to prevent any damage.
