When it comes to gifts for the 4th of July the more unique they are, the better, don't you agree? Well, then, let's have a look at some inspiring ideas that you can use for personal as well as corporate gifting this Independence Day!
The 4th of July is here again. Festivity will be all around. You’ll have people to visit and freedom to celebrate. This year, you can brighten up someone’s day by giving them fabulous gifts. It’s obvious that the gifts must revolve around the essentials of the American Independence Day: liberty and patriotism. Here are some ideas on those very lines.
Flavor of the Land
If there’s one way to make someone feel happy on the 4th of July, it’s by giving them some delicious treats to enjoy as they watch the parades! And since it’s such a monumental day in the history of the country, it only makes sense to present something that screams ‘America!’ What are your options?
Well, you could put together a food basket with different food items that represent the American spirit. You can have a basket filled with different items that are included in a barbecue like sauces, oils, meats, dressings, garnishing, etc.
You can also have a basket with different popular national beers or other brews. Candy, chocolate, cookies, cupcakes and other sweet treats, all wrapped in stars and stripes will be a great addition to this food basket. Make sure that the handle of the basket has a bow of ribbons made using the three flag colors!
Patriotic Embellishments
One of the best parts of the Independence Day celebrations are the decorations. Why not make a gift of these patriotic embellishments and make someone happy this year? You don’t have to go for streamers and flags, you can go for something more classy and well, something that will add to the aesthetic value of the person’s home.
You can look in stores, or shop online, for things like calendars, fans, lanterns, throw pillows, miniature figurines, wreaths, themed flower arrangements, plaques, picture frames, etc. They’re all available in the special 4th of July theme. They make for great corporate gifting ideas too.
Movie Mania
If you and the person you’re gifting are both movie buffs, then this one’s perfect! Make a list of all the most popular patriotic movies that have been made. Old and new both! Now, hunt video stores for at least 5 to 6 of the movies from the list.
You may want to pick one movie from each era. Wrap each movie case using wrapping paper in red, blue and white and stick a pretty bow on it too. Give this to the person, and you all can enjoy your day watching some great movies to reinforce the patriotic spirit.
