Whether you’re shopping for a Christmas gift, an anniversary surprise, or trying to find that perfect birthday present, it’s always great to be able to give something a little more personal. Sometimes, however, you can feel stumped, with all your best ideas for presents used up. If you’re stuck for ideas, don’t panic – read on for five great suggestions below for confidence boosting gifts that will make your loved one feel extra special.

Inspirational Reading

If you’re buying for a book lover, there’s plenty of titles out there that are guaranteed to inspire the reader. Biographies of famous people, both past and present, are a great way to learn about those who have achieved great things, and self-help titles are brilliant for motivational ideas; a quick search online will point to books on everything from learning to relax and become more mindful, to employing effective organisational techniques and even changing careers.

A Solo Photoshoot

A personal photoshoot is a brilliant way to boost confidence and make someone feel extra special;  choose from shoots with family, friends, and pets, or opt for individual photographs in a sumptuous location. Revealed Studios specialise in boudoir style photographs shot in a modern, airy loft space, and each package includes a pre-session consultation, professional hair and make up and posing direction.

A Beautiful Journal

It’s a fact that being creative helps to inspire and boost your mood, but not everyone has the time or skills to paint or craft every day. Journaling is a great way to spend a few minutes every evening noting down ideas, positive points from the day and recording motivational quotes, and there are a huge range of beautiful notebooks available. Choose from a sumptuous leather bound diary, an eco-friendly recycled notebook or a modern softcover journal in delicious pastel shades – to make it extra special, opt for an inscription printed on the inside cover.

A Makeover Session

Nothing boosts confidence than feeling great about your personal appearance, so why not choose a makeover session for your loved one? There are several companies that offer whole packages which include colour consultations, styling tips and makeup lessons, and you can either choose to go alone or in a group. Alternatively, opt for vouchers for a makeover at the counter of their favourite makeup brand, or a pampering session at a sleek beauticians or hair salon.

Motivational Accessories

Sometimes, a little reminder can be all that’s needed to make someone feel strong and capable, and you can find a wide range of motivational accessories both online and in local stores. Not on The High Street stock everything from notebooks stamped with encouraging slogans, wall prints with empowering messages and confidence boosting embroideries, while Etsy features independent businesses that will engrave your own personal message onto keychains, bracelets and pendants. For something a little more subtle, try a pair of socks with positive affirmations stitched into them – choose between beautiful quotes, punchy slogans and even humorous cartoons.
