#this gift is like birthday and Christmas tier!

[subby-muffin]

How do I know my love life has gotten better?

My ex didn’t really do gifts, and Valentine’s Day in particular was a day dedicated more to sex than anything else. It was a day more for him than for us.

My current partner spent more than a week hunting down a PS2, buying and returning several that didn’t work and going to different stores to find one, all for my Valentine’s Day gift.

As a bonus, he also got me stickers so I could personalize it.

I cannot believe how lucky I am.

X-Mas list presentation

Batfam x M!Reader

Summary: instead of making a regular Christmas wishlist, the reader decides to make a whole presentation

Quote: “That is all Family! So open up your hearts and your wallets for me this holiday season”

✁ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

“Why are you here?�� Duke asked Jason.

“Same reason why you’re here, y/n wanted us to all meet up in the living room for some announcement” Jason sighed.

After everyone was in the room, you pulled out your computer and connected it to the Tv, which made everyone confused.

“Hello family, I know you must be wondering why you’re all here” you said.

“Yes”

“Yup”

“Mhm”

“Yeah”

“Can I go back to my game now?”

“Last year you guys totally fucked up Christmas, so this year I put together an entire presentation to tell you guys what I want specifically” you smiled.

Everyone in the room let out an audible sigh/groan. It was known by everyone in the family that you were very dramatic from time to time (24/7). But they never thought you would get this extra!

“Is that really what you called us here for?” Damian grumbled.

“Would you shut up for a second?” You snapped.

“Y/n I don’t think that’s how you should be talking to your little bro-”

“Anyways, Here’s the things you should keep in mind when you’re thinking about what kind of gift you will provide for me this year” you said as you interrupted Bruce from his lecture.

“First of all, I’m the only one who knows how to reset the Wi-Fi, and yeah that’s threat” you threatened.

That certainly got everyone’s attention.

“Secondly, if you don’t get me what I want I will get a sugar daddy, I don’t even care what you guys are going to say, I’ve had so many offers for sugar daddies that it’s unreal. The perks of being son of Bruce Wayne I guess” you said.

“Y/n, you do know that Bruce is rich right?” Jason asked.

“Not the point” you mumbled.

“And third if I don’t get what I want, I will also sell my feet pics online like I did last year” you said calmly.

“YOU WHAT?!” Bruce shouted

“Calm down, I only ended up making about 1 million from it” you sighed.

“ONLY?!” Dick gasped.

“I created a three tier system of different gifting levels, basically, the levels equivocate to how much you love me and how much money you have” you explained.

“Level one is the ‘I’m going to need therapy level’ which is only four to seven gifts. I would probably go into a depressive spiral, actually not probably, I definitely would be depressed” you said.

“Would you stop being so overdramati-”

“I’M NOT DONE YET” you said as you interrupted Tim.

“What would that mean for us? You may ask. It would mean that you would have to pay for my therapy. And the money that you guys spent on therapy would have been basically wasted, you could’ve bought me a whole bunch of gifts right now and avoided the situation” you smiled.

“I think that he’s lost his mind” Bruce whispered to Stephanie.

“You think?!” Stephanie whisper yelled.

“Level two is the ‘You’re getting warmer package’ This basically if you love me- Bruce can you stop whispering to Stephanie” you scolded.

“As I was saying… Level two is eight to fifteen gifts, which is basically equivalent to you texting me happy birthday” you continued.

“Level three is the ‘You’re sleighing it’ level. And if you remember, you guys were just a bit off the mark of hitting this because you guys only got me twenty three gifts. And in order to reach ‘You’re slaying it’ you have to get me twenty five or more gifts, I think this is totally do-able for you guys, especially because you can just use Bruce’s card if you guys are running low on money” you said.

“I have tons ideas for you guys and this whole slideshow is already in your email so you guys can look at it and reference it at any time” you smiled.

Everyone quickly checked their phones to see that you indeed emailed them your whole presentation.

“That is all Family! So open up your hearts and your wallets for me this holiday season” you smiled before leaving the room.

“Yeah he had definitely lost his mind” They all said in synchronization.

“I HEARD THAT!”

[suckinitup]

the infuriating thing is that david bell mustve given just. the Craziest christmas gifts. gift cards or a new phone or laptop. never personalized or tailored to will’s interests unless his mom badgered him to “get william something nice for his little hobby” but when he did it wouldve been like. Pretty high tier shit but the Wrong Kind in some way. oh will you need a camera with a special lens for ghost hunting? heres an expensive professional camera for wildlife shooting. Oh you want an emf reader? here’s the fanciest radio youve ever fucking seen. stupid shit like that. anyway think about david bell getting william some specialized fancy gadget thats Wrong for his birthday, because he had to (and he didn’t even pick it out—his secretary did) and Now think about tide getting william that shitty little artstation ghost hunting kit because he loves him and was embarrassed that he couldnt figure out something better

🍪06 | The Letter Tucked Under The Bonsai Tree/ This Shade of Green

♡𓂃 Pairing -> (Former) Knight! Huening Kai x Seamstress! Reader

♡𓂃 Synopsis -> Growing up, you never believed in purpose, nor destiny. Simply following the path of life, becoming a royal seamstress didn't at all seem like a bad idea. Only thing is, it wasn't your idea.

Your best friend who just so happens to be the crowned prince knows what it's like to grow up having limited choices, and Prince Kang Taehyun doesn't want the same happening to you. The commander knight, in turn, has other plans for the future. After Huening Kai closes a profound chapter of his life, he seeks refuge from the chaos of his past, opting for a cozier lifestyle instead.

... And it just so seems that those plans wouldn't be fulfilled without you.

♡𓂃 Wc -> 1,789

Half of the village flooded into the ballroom.

A five-tiered lemon cake stands tall in the middle of the buffet tables spanning the length of an outstretched rice field, guards stationed at every entrance and every windowsill, the royal family in the middle of it all.

What’s the occassion? A royal wedding? Young prince Taehyun’s coronation day? A special notice for war and drought because winter is six months away and the kingdom must take special precautions to ensure another safe Christmas?

No. None of that.

Above the cake sits a white banner with green paint spelling out the words: ‘MY BESTIE IS HALFWAY TO 24 SHOW HER SOME LOVE !!!!!'

It was your 12th birthday, and this time, the king and queen went above and beyond to celebrate it, as they always do.

Your fourth birthday was also celebrated in the castle, not that you or your family wanted it but the king and queen and especially their young son did.

No outsiders, no kindergarten friends or Taehyun’s extended family. Just your small family and the royal family in the throne room with some rich creamy chocolate cake and perhaps a present or two.

No pressure, for sure.

Your parents bowed at their feet while your best friend’s parents called up popes and a mariachi band to bless the birth of the child (only the popes gave your blessings, not the mariachi band. They played ten different catchy trumpet beats to get your four year old feet kicking up in the air).

From that birthday onward, there was no more bowing or negotiating with the king and queen anymore. Your birthdays were celebrated like national holidays, only thing’s left is to start marking it on calendars for all villagers to see. Anything you want, the royal family’s got you.

And they must’ve really meant that, because the current state of the ballroom was pure fulfillment and chaos: The buffet tables almost wiped clean, every piñata exploding open, the gift stash as tall as a pine tree.

“Remind me why you invited half of the human race to my party again?” Not that you were opposed to the idea but inviting three hundred kids to a party at age twelve is just. Beyond you.

“What? No. It’s just your classmates, and my classmates, and my equestrian coach, and your cousins, and all the knights we met two years ago who didn’t make it to the finale.” Taehyun crossed his legs beneath a bonsai tree— the bonsai tree, full of small notes and letters hanging off its branches to wish you a happy birthday.

The sassy little prince had apple cider in a wine glass to make himself look more ‘elegant’.

You jabbed your fork into your slice of lemon cake, wolfing down another heavenly spoonful of that zesty goodness.

Elegance be damned.

“Huh. Okay… And why isn’t Bangchan on stage yet?”

“Ahh, my father says he’s got a sore throat. That’s why his whole show got cancelled, and his band got bummed out.” He took a sip of his twinkling apple cider. “Too bad, I was really looking forward to his performances.”

“Right? I really wanted to see his bandmates too, but that’s besides the point. Your father’s going back to hiring the mariachi band, then?”

“No, some underground pop singer. I forgot her name… Baby Rexha?”

You practically spat his drink out. “Bebe Rexha?”

“Oh yeah, her. Kai told me a friend of his was really into her music, and I thought you’d like it too, so, yeah, I told my father about that, too.”

You couldn’t have asked for a better best friend. You stood up, ignoring your lemon cake for a second, spilling out the most genuine loving way of saying the next couple of words, “Get your ass over here.”

Taehyun beamed.

He got his ass over there, and the prince embraced his platonic soulmate in his arms.

And after that wholesome moment ended, he got back to picking out letters from the bonsai tree. “Wanna start reading these again?”

Hanging birthday wishes on a bonsai tree was your father’s idea, having the little sapling grow with you, the letters adding up as more branches spiraled out of the trunks… your mother’s eyes puddle up just looking at how much it has grown, how much you have grown.

“Let’s get this thing over with.” Is your honest response after jetting through thirty seven short but sincere wishes and a couple bittersweet three-paragraphed birthday notes. (From your two loving parents, of course, and Taehyun).

Taehyun nods, reaching for the deeper ends of the tree, “Alright... Let's see what's left of this.”

Ten birthday notes left.

Ten wishes left.

The ballroom and its occupants have ran out of energy after the main events of the birthday party, some having conversations over circular tables, some lounging around the buffet tables, the entire place looking more like an italian restaurant than a ballroom birthday party.

It didn’t matter that you finally read the king’s birthday wish, you went over that piece of paper the way girlbosses do when they see their ex.

"Y/n, don't do my father like that,” Taehyun retorted, having his third cup of apple cider. “I'm sure he has some nice things to say."

"He scribbled up a 'wish you a blessed day' and the rest is smudged in cake frosting."

“Wow, okay I guess he just really loves your mother's cakes." Taehyun turns to reach for another letter. "Okay, how about this one?"

You sighed as your hand slugs its way to the fighteningly thick rectangular piece of paper that genuinely looked like a typical letter instead of a purple piece of cardstock folded into two.

You opened it.

Your eyes stretched wider.

It's from Kai.

Dear Y/n,

Happy birthday, I hope you're doing well and having fun at this party, because even though I didn't get to spend time with you (I didn't get to see you, hehe) I did have fun. Um... anyways I bought you a present but the present stash is too high up for me to add mine so... I'll place it in Taehyun's room for now if that's okay? (please tell him the gift is NOT for him and is only for you)

Okay, I hope you keep smelling like sunflowers and cookies in the future and stay happy and healthy but mostly happy because I can never get tired of looking at your precious smile and rosey cheeks and enchanting beauty.

Um, pretend I didn't write any of that. I don't want to scribble on the page because guards are telling me to speed up because I'm hogging up the feather-pens and-

Hyuka<3

You both sat there, quiet for a good chunk of a minute.

You spoke first. "See, Taehyun, I told you not to invite the entire kingdom! Now Kai feels left out!"

Taehyun sets his fancy cup aside. "Yeah no you're right. Where did he say he'll go? My bedroom?"

You grab his hand and book it up the staircase. "Yes he is, now come on! I wanna see what present he's got for me!"

He clutched your hand back right. "As we should!"

The last thing you wanted to do on your birthday was to make anyone feel left out, let alone Huening Kai.

Huening Kai, feeble and stiff as he was, stood pensively in front of Taehyun’s bedroom door.

Going to parties with such forgettable people isn’t his go to way of having fun, and a part of his soul did wish the party was limited to, perhaps, a dozen people maximum instead of hundreds of guests…

At least you had fun.

Clutching onto the teal box wrapped in a glossy emerald bow, that’s all he hoped for today, that you remained happy.

A soft trail of footsteps pitter-pattered in the distance.

He looked to the side, eyes widening when he sees a girl with bows in her hair, the crowned prince trailing just behind her.

“Kai! I’m so sorry—” You blurted.

“Both of us are!” Taehyun cuts in, breathless.

“Yeah, no, both of us are sorry. We didn’t mean to make you feel left out. The party was just so huge and there was so much going on and I guess we were all just caught up messing around with the piñatas and bull rides and mini concerts and food.”

“Especially the food. It was my fault for not tagging you along with us, honestly.”

Kai went back and forth making eye contact between the prince and the girl, his eyes finally landing on the prince. “It’s okay, I had fun with my other friends.” He couldn’t tell why and it took him a while to even be aware of it, but his insides were all soft and fluffy, especially around his chest, at his heart. And. Huening Kai liked the feeling.

The feeling of being safe around you two.

It was not Taehyun who answered, but you. “Your village friends? Was it the Bebe Rexha fanatic you’ve been rambling about to me recently? I kinda forgot his name… as well as the others. My bad.”

Huening Kai blinked. He released the box that was previously clutched by his small hands glued to his chest, bringing it forth. “Here.” a little while later, “For you.”

… Purple was your favourite colour, but perhaps you’re starting to like this shade of green, too.

Huening Kai cleared his throat. “Open it, please?” The question sounded more like a plea rather than a demand, but it didn’t matter how demanding Huening Kai tried to sound, he’d never be feared by you because to you, not a single bone in his body screamed ‘if you don’t do this for me, I will eat you alive.’

So, of course, you ripped opened the box (not literally) for the two boys to see, but mostly Huening Kai since he was the gift-giver after all

Taehyun looked over your shoulder, eyes wide, smiling, giggling here and there; Huening Kai remained quiet the whole time, simply watching, and once the lid of the box lifted up?… You gaped.

It's a crochet set, with wool in pastel shades and hooks of all different sizes.

“I noticed you liked doing crafty stuff and.” Huening Kai visibly gulped. “You picked up on embroidering some time ago, did you not?” An awkward chuckle. “I mean, I could’ve totally bought you an embroidery set but my friend- I mean, my gut told me you probably already had everything you needed for embroidering so—”

You attacked Kai.

With a throat-clenching embrace.

And it took him a good minute to hug you back.

Not so long after, it was Taehyun that wrapped his arms around the both of you.

It may be my birthday, but I have a little gift for you all instead! Enjoy!

***

Billy knows that Steve’s love for him is unconditional, just like his love for Steve is. He also knows that Steve doesn’t need big shiny tokens of Billy’s affection to feel that love.

He likes simple things. Home cooked dinners, massages, Billy’s hand knitted scarves for Christmas every year, all carefully tucked away in their own special drawer when not in use.

That never stops Billy from trying to do the most possible every year for Steve’s birthday. Take, for example, Steve’s 21st, the last birthday before they moved out of Hawkins, heading west, when Billy planned a massive scavenger hunt that took Steve to all their special places, or his 25th, when Billy had convinced him he’d tone down the birthday plans for once, only to have Robin and Dustin fly in from New York, where they were both going to school at the time, for the occasion. They’d went to a Dodgers game, then to dinner and a karaoke bar, and had the time of their lives.

This year, Billy was planning to bigger than ever, literally, with a chocolate cake comprised of ten small tiers. Three months ago, Billy had bought a ring, planning to ask Steve a question on his 30th birthday that he should have asked him long ago. They’ve talked about taking the next step together plenty of times, but it’s just never happened, so Billy’s taking his chance now.

The plan is to construct such a ridiculous cake that Steve’ll think that’s the big surprise, and he’ll never see the proposal coming. The idea to put the ring in the cake comes later, when Billy thinks of his childhood birthdays, his mom baking coins into the cake for him to find.

What’s stopping him from wrapping the ring in tinfoil and baking it into the top tier? It turns out nothing is, so he does it, proud of his genius when all the layers come out perfectly. You’d never be able to tell that there was an engagement ring in one of them.

That becomes a problem when Billy loses track of which layer has the ring in it. He’s sure it’s the one cooling next to the sink, but it could also be the one cooling on the table, or one of the ones on the coffee table.

He finally decides it has to be the one next to the stove. It has to be. He’s sure of it after lifting them all, trying to detect the little bit of added weight.

He frosts the cake, pleased with how perfectly straight it is, then he showers and gets dressed. Steve unfortunately works on his birthday this year, so Billy picks him up and they head to the restaurant from there.

He tries to act normal through dinner, but his palms are sweating and his heart is beating fast from a combination of nerves about proposing and fear that the ring isn’t in the top layer.

Thankfully Steve doesn’t seem to notice, focusing instead on the delicious mashed potatoes and the couple at the next table who may or may not be breaking up right in front of them. It’s a welcome distraction.

They get home, refrigerating the leftovers, and Billy pulls out the cake. Steve oohs and ahhs at the height of it before blowing out the candles and giving Billy a kiss of thanks.

Billy serves Steve the topmost layer and himself the one below and waits. And waits some more. Waits until Steve finishes the whole small layer.

Either Steve’s playing it really cool right now or Billy’s royally fucked things up. He looks at Steve’s empty plate, then at the remaining eight layers.

Before he can think of what to do, Steve speaks, taking Billy’s hand in his own. “Thank you so much, babe. I know every year I tell you not to do anything big and every year you don’t listen, and I should know that by now, but you somehow still manage to surprise me. You’re the best partner that a man could ever ask for.”

Oh god, Steve’s now slipping down onto the floor on one knee, still holding onto Billy’s hand.

“You’re kind, funny, compassionate, and incredibly thoughtful. We’ve been to hell and back and I’m so glad we’ve been through each other’s sides by all of it. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else.”

Now he’s reaching into his pocket. Oh no, this couldn’t be going any worse. But it also couldn’t be going any better. Steve wants to marry him! He wants to spend his life with Billy!

“Billy, will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?”

Billy nods, tears springing to his eyes as Steve slips the beautiful black band onto Billy’s finger. Then, the laughter starts as Steve stands up and kisses him. He giggles helplessly against Steve’s lips.

Steve pulls back and looks at Billy questioningly, a smile on his face. “What’s so funny, babe?”

Billy just laughs harder, having to take a couple minutes to compose himself before he can respond. Finally, he can speak. “Soooo, I really fucked things up today. There’s a ring for you somewhere in that cake, wrapped in tinfoil. I thought it would be such a great surprise to have you find it in your piece of cake. But then I lost track of what layer it’s in. I was going to have our friends over tomorrow to celebrate our engagement and eat the rest of the cake, but now the plan’s all ruined because I’m an idiot.”

Steve laughs, pulling Billy into a hug and kissing his cheek. “You’re not an idiot, babe. That was incredibly sweet of you, and I can definitely say I’m still surprised! Can you grab me one of the shish-kabob skewers from the kitchen.”

Billy’s confused, but does what he says, returning quickly with it.

Steve takes it from him and starts sliding it down through the layers, and fuck, why didn’t Billy think of that? It doesn’t take him long at all to find it, and they carefully lift the layers on top of the one it’s hiding in before cutting it out.

And now they each have a ring, a symbol of their love for each other, and a funny story to tell to boot. In retrospect, this night couldn’t have gone any better if Billy had tried.

Tomorrow's update makes a lot of new suits available! Thanks to the Love Nikki Discord server for compiling all this info. This post will focus on all the new suits available for crafting. A separate post will showcase the new Wish Gate hell, Miracle Concert, so stay tuned!

Banquet of Elites/Snake Girls

An extremely popular event, the snake girls will be returning for crafting! This was a pick- and-choose event, so it is likely that you'll be able to freely craft any individual pieces you want.

Both of the suits cost a total of 1916 diamonds, and makeup is not included in either suit.

Recipes: Free from Time Diary.

Wavy Cloud Shadows

While the beautiful white snake is eye-catching, the real star of this show is the background waterfall. Useful in a wide variety of competition themes and absolutely to die for if you're doing any kind of water theme, it's a unique and versatile piece that I personally can't wait to get.

This suit cost 960 dias to get on its debut.

Bamboo Shadow in Pond

It's hard to compete with the white snake, but this green snake is pretty neat, and makes a good rest for any sitting posed Nikki.

This suit also cost 960 dias to get on the debut.

There's a whole bunch more suits coming out for crafting, including Ghost Gathering 2, more pics and details after the break!

Christmas Puppet Show

This adorable Christmas themed suit cost 1680 diamonds on release. It was tiered, so it's likely to be tiered in crafting. If you want the stage, you'll have to craft the whole suit. Makeup is not included.

Recipes: Free from Time Diary.

Star Spirit

Next up, a pair of Easter themed suits! Makeup IS included with BOTH of these suits!

Recipes: Free from Time Diary.

Colorful Gift

This suit cost 2040 diamonds on release, and was the first suit from its pair. Crafting this will likely be required for Spring Wonderland.

Spring Wonderland

Spring Wonderland was the second suit available from its pair, tiered with Colorful Gift. It cost an additional 2760 dias after the first suit, for a total of 4800 dias spent.

Ghost Gathering 2/Nether Angel

This event is related to the Ghost Gathering hell with Miss Bone, but isn't a hell event itself. It's another two-suit, tiered event. It released in March 2020. Makeup IS included in BOTH suits!

Recipes: Free from Time Diary.

Nether Lotus Lantern

This suit, usually just called Nether Lotus, cost 1992 diamonds on debut. It's intertwined with Soul Soother, which means you'll have to craft some of those pieces to finish Nether Lotus Lantern.

Soul Soother

This suit is the second of its pair, so you likely will have to craft Nether Lotus Lantern first. It cost an additional 1296 diamonds after finishing Nether Lotus Lantern, for a total of 3288 diamonds spent. Fairly reasonable, especially if you like these suits!

Lucky New Year

This was a welfare suit, so it's almost certainly going to be free to craft. It's cute, and that fan is a background piece, so it should be worth it if you have spare time! Makeup is not included.

Recipes: Free from Time Diary.

All the suits after this point will be free to craft, but it's not known where the recipes will come from. There's a chance they'll be purchasable from the shop for gold.

Piggy Bun Shop

This was a log-in event suit. Makeup is not included, but the tiny pig nose is.

Sweet Sniper

This is a really cute log-in suit as well, and it's pretty similar to Heartbeat Punk which was an abyssal island suit available this past November. Definitely a low-key version, but very similar themes, and has a face accessory microphone! Makeup not included.

Sparkle of Stars

Another free suit, this one for Nikki's birthday! I love it actually. This arrived in the mailbox, and makeup is included.

Rising Moon

This is a makeup item that was a free mailbox gift. It should be free to craft, and it's a dark skin tone makeup!

Makeup TLDR

Suits WITH makeup:

Colorful Gift

Spring Wonderland

Nether Lotus Lantern

Soul Soother

Sparkle of Stars (free)

Literally just makeup:

Rising Moon (free)

(As far as I can tell, this is also the only new dark skin tone makeup offered in this update.)

Suits WITHOUT makeup

Wavy Cloud Shadows

Bamboo Shadow in Pond

Christmas Puppet Show

Lucky New Year

Piggy Bun Shop (pig nose is a face item)

Sweet Sniper (microphone is a face item)

[clockworksteel]

I've been realizing lately that I never developed a style of my own. This is kinda tangentially related to gender, I guess?

The earliest event that kicked off this line of thought was when a friend of mine mentioned sometimes they do silly tier lists with another friend, with one example being sorting characters by who was the "most gender", in the tumblr sense. I later had the thought, "I am not very gender". Then there was a segment of video of a recent Jammidodger video in which he talks about how many people find their own style as they grow up (https://youtu.be/H_CLQEIm1CA?t=192 for the full context, or https://youtu.be/H_CLQEIm1CA?t=242 to skip to the most relevant part), and also a recent tumblr post I saw that was like, "What are you wearing now and does it fit your style?" And, like, I was in sweat pants and a T-shirt since that's all I ever wear, but... I'm not sure I ever really picked it so much as I've been going with it as a good-enough default ever since I was, like, 6.

Now, some of that might just be that I genuinely have a rather plain style, but I also didn't really have an experimentation phase. I probably would have been concerned about my parents' judgements if I thought about truly making my own style decisions, I don’t think that line of thought even happened because it more of a subtle thing where the points to make decisions just didn't happen besides deciding what to pull out of the drawer or closet.

I actually still get given a lot of T-shirts, which makes it kinda difficult to justify buying many tops on my own. My mom likes to pick out "funny" ones for Christmas and birthdays, usually 2 per gift-giving event. Of course, some of those aren't great, since about some of the humor on them is self-depreciating, which is a bit weird as a gift. Like, sure, I guess I'll ironically wear the one that says "Exercise? I thought you said extra lives" while exercising. I think I'd prefer just getting another couple solid color shirts a year.

That said, at least I had very occasionally bought my own T-shirts a couple times prior to moving out from my parents' house. The rest of my clothing while I lived with my parents was entirely what they decided I should have. I guess I must have expressed some sort of comfort preferences at some point, since I have a vague memory of being told I didn't like jeans and it sounded right, but that sort of thing would've been about it as far as choosing most of my clothes.

Then my haircuts were just... sometimes my mom decided it was time for a haircut and then she'd cut it how she thought it should be. It would be left a little longer in the winter. I never really learned the names of hairstyles. After moving out I bought hair clippers to keep doing it how I was used to it, but I think it may be less that I like it like that and more that I'm keeping it how my mom expects it. I was a little sad to cut my hair this morning: it was just getting long enough to do something with. My mom did make fun of my hair last visit though as mentioned in the previous post, and I'm visiting again this weekend.

And my lack of style doesn't end with my personal appearance.

When I was younger, I wasn't supposed to put anything on the walls, since it could damage the paint. When I moved into the bedroom that had one burlap-covered wall I could put push-pins in it and did hang up some things: a couple posters and some paper snowflakes. Still, I never learned to decorate normal walls. And so in the 6 years I've been in my current house, the only wall decoration is a white board calendar.

I'm not really sure why, but I haven't changed my phone background from the default in my almost 4 years of having my current one. My desktop computer does have a background I set, but I haven't changed it in almost a year (I set it when Nintendo sent me some for my birthday last year). Before that it was just a solid color.

Even in games I tend not to focus on appearance that much, except for a couple times I've gotten to do dress-up in the couple of Pokemon games that actually had a good variety of clothes. I absolutely blitz through most character creators compared to a lot of people I know, it feels like.

I guess until I figure out whether my pervasive plainness is genuinely me, it's hard to conclude anything. I've had idle thoughts related to this about how maybe it would be good to consider an agender identity, but I don't even know where to begin with that, since the lack of rules when it comes to gender makes it hard to think about directly. I'd still have to decide what I look like physically anyway as well.

A Guide to Giving Corporate Gifts to Employees

Corporate gifting is a powerful tool in the modern workplace, serving as a way to build relationships, show appreciation, and foster a positive company culture. When done thoughtfully, giving corporate gifts to employees can enhance morale, increase job satisfaction, and strengthen loyalty to the organization.

However, the process of selecting and giving corporate gifts requires careful consideration to ensure that the gesture is meaningful and aligns with the company’s values. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of best practices for corporate gifting, helping you navigate the dos and don'ts of giving gifts to your employees.

The Significance of Corporate Gifting

Corporate gifts are more than just tokens of appreciation; they are strategic tools that can drive employee engagement and reinforce a positive work environment. A well-chosen gift can make employees feel valued and recognized for their contributions, which in turn can boost productivity and commitment.

In today’s competitive business landscape, where retaining top talent is critical, corporate gifting plays an essential role in differentiating companies as employers of choice.

Corporate gifts can be given on various occasions, including:

Work Anniversaries: Celebrating an employee’s milestone with the company.

Festive Occasions: Such as Diwali, Christmas, or New Year.

Achievement Recognition: For hitting targets, completing projects, or other significant accomplishments.

Onboarding: Welcoming new employees with a gift as part of their introduction to the company.

Birthdays: A personal touch that makes employees feel special.

Understanding Your Audience: Employee Preferences

Before selecting corporate gifts, it’s crucial to understand the preferences and interests of your employees. A gift that resonates with the recipient is far more impactful than a generic item. Consider conducting a survey or having casual conversations with employees to gauge their likes and dislikes. Keep in mind that employees may have diverse tastes, so offering a variety of gift options can be a wise approach.

Some key considerations include:

Personal Interests: If your employees are avid readers, a book voucher might be appreciated. For fitness enthusiasts, consider a gift related to health and wellness.

Cultural Sensitivity: Be mindful of cultural differences and preferences when selecting gifts, especially for festive occasions.

Practicality: Practical gifts that can be used daily, such as tech gadgets, office supplies, or travel accessories, are often well-received.

Personalization: Adding a personal touch, such as engraving the employee’s name or a custom message, can make the gift more meaningful.

Setting a Budget for Corporate Gifts

Establishing a budget for corporate gifts is essential to ensure that the initiative is financially sustainable and that all employees receive gifts of comparable value.

The budget should reflect the occasion, the number of recipients, and the company’s financial position. While it’s important to be mindful of costs, the value of the gift should not be solely monetary; the thought behind the gift matters more.

Here are some budget considerations:

Tiered Budgeting: Allocate different budgets for different levels of the organization. For example, senior management might receive higher-value gifts, while general staff receive more modest items.

Bulk Purchasing: Buying gifts in bulk can often reduce costs, especially when working with suppliers who offer discounts for large orders.

Corporate Gift Policies: Ensure that the budget aligns with any existing corporate gift policies, particularly regarding the maximum allowable value of gifts.

Selecting the Right Corporate Gifts

Choosing the right corporate gifts requires a balance between creativity, practicality, and relevance. The goal is to select gifts that will be appreciated and used by employees while also reflecting the company’s values and brand identity. Here are some popular categories of corporate gifts to consider:

1. Tech Gadgets

In today’s digital age, tech gadgets are among the most popular corporate gifts. Items such as wireless chargers, Bluetooth speakers, USB drives, and smart home devices are both practical and modern. These gifts are not only useful but also convey a forward-thinking and innovative brand image.

2. Wellness Gifts

With increasing awareness of health and wellness, gifts that promote a healthy lifestyle are highly valued. Consider giving employees items like yoga mats, fitness trackers, or wellness subscription boxes. These gifts show that the company cares about the well-being of its employees.

3. Customized Apparel

Branded apparel, such as T-shirts, hoodies, or caps with the company logo, can foster a sense of belonging and pride among employees. To make the gift more special, consider offering personalization options, such as adding the employee’s name or a motivational quote.

4. Eco-Friendly Products

Sustainability is a growing concern, and eco-friendly gifts can reflect the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Reusable water bottles, bamboo desk organizers, and recycled notebooks are examples of gifts that align with green values.

5. Gift Cards

When in doubt, gift cards are a versatile option that allows employees to choose something they truly want. Whether for popular retail stores, restaurants, or online shopping platforms, gift cards offer flexibility and are often appreciated by employees.

6. Experiential Gifts

Rather than giving a physical item, consider offering experiences as gifts. These could include tickets to a concert, a spa day, or a cooking class. Experiential gifts create lasting memories and offer a unique way to reward employees.

7. Food and Beverage Gifts

Gourmet food baskets, artisanal chocolates, or premium coffee blends are classic corporate gifts that never go out of style. These items can be enjoyed by employees and their families, making them a thoughtful choice, especially during festive seasons.

Corporate Gifting Etiquette

Understanding corporate gifting etiquette is crucial to ensuring that the gesture is well-received and aligns with professional standards. Here are some key principles to follow:

1. Consistency

When giving corporate gifts for employees, it’s important to maintain consistency to avoid any feelings of favoritism or inequality. Ensure that all employees in the same category or level receive gifts of comparable value.

2. Timeliness

Gifts should be given at the appropriate time, whether it’s during a festive season, on an employee’s work anniversary, or in recognition of an achievement. Timely gifting shows that the company is thoughtful and considerate.

3. Presentation

The presentation of the gift matters almost as much as the gift itself. Take care to wrap the gift nicely or present it in an attractive package. A well-presented gift enhances the experience and shows attention to detail.

4. Personalization

Whenever possible, add a personal touch to the gift, such as including a handwritten note or customizing the item with the employee’s name. Personalization makes the gift feel more special and tailored to the individual.

5. Respect Privacy

While it’s important to recognize and reward employees, it’s equally important to respect their privacy. Avoid giving gifts that are too personal or could make the recipient uncomfortable. Additionally, consider whether the gift should be given publicly or privately, depending on the employee’s preference.

Special Considerations for Festive Gifting

Festive occasions like Diwali, Christmas, or the company’s annual celebrations are prime opportunities for corporate gifting. However, these occasions also require special consideration to ensure that the gifts are culturally appropriate and meaningful.

1. Diwali Gifts

Diwali is one of the most significant festivals in India, and it’s common for companies to give gifts to employees during this time. Traditional Diwali gifts include sweets, dry fruits, and decorative items like diyas or candles.

Please take a look at DeoDap's corporate gifting items for Diwali here: https://deodap.in/collections/diwali-corporate-gifting

In recent years, there has been a trend toward giving more modern gifts, such as tech gadgets or wellness products. When choosing Diwali gifts, consider the cultural significance and aim to select items that reflect the festive spirit.

If you want to buy Diwali gifts, check out DeoDap. They offer corporate Diwali gifts for employees and clients at the best prices and high quality.

2. Christmas Gifts

Christmas is another popular occasion for corporate gifting. Common gifts include hampers, wine, chocolates, and holiday-themed items. Companies may also consider giving personalized gifts or hosting a Secret Santa event, where employees exchange gifts anonymously. The key is to ensure that the gifts are inclusive and appropriate for all employees, regardless of their cultural background.

3. Eid and Other Festivals

For companies with a diverse workforce, it’s important to recognize a range of cultural and religious festivals. Eid, for example, is a significant occasion for Muslim employees, and companies can show appreciation by giving thoughtful gifts like dates, prayer mats, or traditional sweets. Understanding and respecting the cultural practices of employees strengthens workplace inclusivity and demonstrates the company’s commitment to diversity.

The Role of Corporate Gifts in Employee Retention

Corporate gifts can play a crucial role in employee retention, especially in industries where competition for top talent is fierce. A well-thought-out gift can reinforce the emotional connection between the employee and the company, making them feel appreciated and valued. This, in turn, can lead to higher job satisfaction and loyalty.

1. Building Emotional Connection

Gifts that are personalized and meaningful help build an emotional connection with employees. When employees feel that the company cares about them as individuals, they are more likely to stay committed and engaged in their work.

2. Enhancing Job Satisfaction

Regular recognition and appreciation through gifts contribute to overall job satisfaction. Employees who feel appreciated are more likely to be motivated, productive, and loyal to the company. This positive atmosphere can reduce turnover rates and create a more cohesive team.

3. Strengthening Company Culture

Corporate gifting can also reinforce the company’s culture and values. For example, if a company prioritizes sustainability, eco-friendly gifts can reinforce this message. If innovation is a core value, tech gadgets can reflect this. By aligning gifts with the company’s values, employees are reminded of the mission they are a part of.

Corporate Gifting Challenges and How to Overcome Them

While corporate gifting has many benefits, it also comes with challenges. Understanding these challenges and how to address them can ensure that your corporate gifting program is successful.

1. Budget Constraints

One of the most common challenges is working within a budget. It’s important to balance cost with quality and thoughtfulness. Consider bulk purchasing or choosing gifts that offer good value for money, such as customized items that carry a personal touch without being overly expensive.

2. Cultural Sensitivity

With a diverse workforce, it’s crucial to be culturally sensitive when selecting gifts. Avoid gifts that could be seen as culturally inappropriate or offensive. Research the cultural norms and preferences of your employees to ensure that your gifts are well-received.

3. Gift Appropriateness

Not all gifts are suitable for the workplace. Avoid overly personal or extravagant gifts that could make employees uncomfortable. Stick to items that are professional and align with the company’s values and the nature of your relationship with the employees.

4. Managing Expectations

Employees may have varying expectations when it comes to corporate gifts. To manage expectations, ensure transparency about the gifting process. Clearly communicate the criteria for receiving gifts and the types of gifts being given to avoid any misunderstandings or disappointments.

Conclusion

Corporate gifting is an art that requires a thoughtful approach, attention to detail, and an understanding of your employees’ preferences and cultural backgrounds. When done right, it can have a significant positive impact on employee morale, job satisfaction, and loyalty.

❤Welcome to Angels Cartoon Art & Design❤

Let's transform your vision or idea into reality with a unique fantasy Art piece!

I've created hundreds of character portraits and fantasy pieces. Dungeons and dragons players, personal ideas, as well as for original book characters, and much more!

Feel free to reach out with your character ideas, and I'll respond promptly. I'm open to various concepts,  I do accept NSFW or overly complex requests with limits.

Please keep in mind that my portraits are highly stylized with a lot of my own artistic freedom and interpretation of your descriptions & reference images.

My goal is to create a piece that's a blend of your ideas and my artistic vision. This means I will not be able to include every single detail you've provided.

I’ll focus on capturing the overall essence of what you're looking for, adding elements that align best with my style.

I combine cutting-edge digital software along with traditional artist techniques to create the highest quality art tailored to your preferences.

My vision is to deliver high-quality art through the combination of stable diffusion and traditional artists' techniques, ensuring each piece is a true testament to craftsmanship and uniqueness.

This manual process allows me to infuse intricate details and nuances that AI simply cannot achieve, guaranteeing a level of satisfaction and a depth of imagination.

Whether you envision an elegant sorceress of the arcane, a nimble and elusive rogue from the shadows, a valiant paladin of celestial might, a skilled archer of the wilderness, or a charismatic minstrel of harmonious tales, my expertise and dedication will bring forth a true work of art that embodies your character's essence.

You will receive a high-resolution, custom digital image of your character.

Feeling hesitant? Take a look through the hundreds of reviews from our satisfied clients!

Regardless of how you choose to showcase them, our pieces are guaranteed to inspire awe and admiration, perfect for Christmas gifts, surprise birthday gifts, in-game achievement/event gifts, anniversary gifts, and much more!
