Gift giving ("Gifting") comes easier to some than to others. Selecting a suitable gift can be challenging. There are many factors to consider. What is the occasion? How well do I know the person? What do they like? What's my budget?

Due to all these questions, we tend to overthink things. We walk through the malls trying to see if something just "pops" out. Or trawl through google and websites for "unique gifts" or "simple gift ideas". The end result? Wasted time and, usually, an impractical gift that is not received well!

Here at Gifting made simple, we aim to simplify the gifting process by offering a select and quality range of gifts. Below we detail seven inexpensive, yet practical gifts.
