If you’re racking your brain over gift ideas or are looking for just the perfect present for someone in particular, this year let’s do something different… Let’s be a little more meaningful. Choosing the right personal care products for someone else can get a little overwhelming, but not if you put some thought into it.
The Channel 46 caught up with Sainath Jain, Co-Founder of Hivado, who shares 11 tips you can consider before you make a gift purchase mindfully.
1. Does It Suit Them?
Everyone has unique requirements. But what everybody needs is a balanced routine. Gentle yet effective products are the way to go when it comes to gifting someone personal care products that include skincare, body care, and haircare. You may wonder – what type of skin does she have? What fragrance would she prefer for her body care products?… and the like. But the decision does not have to be so difficult to make. Stick to classic fragrances like vanilla, cocoa, and shea across all personal care products, and you can’t go wrong with these.
2. Find The Right Ingredients
Premium brands use only the choicest ingredients, sourced with great care and attention to detail.

Every little element goes a long way in enhancing and charging the skin, and making it feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
3. Does It Address Their Issues?
If you’re buying a personal care product for someone else, make sure you know what kind of issues they face and want to rectify. The product should address this issue and be the right fit for the ‘missing element’ in their routine. You can do this without making your intention apparent, especially when you’re planning on a surprise gift. Just put it across as a casual question and you’ll know everything you want to, in no time.
4. Don’t Always Follow The Hype
Don’t follow the bandwagon and make sure to carefully curate the right range of products for the perfect present. Do your research and stop following the trends!

5. Can You Gift Them A Routine?

Make sure they are covering the basics and try to incorporate the essentials of haircare and skincare into their daily life. Go for a perfect kit that covers all the essentials, especially for beginners!
6. Read. The. Reviews!
Get different perspectives and opinions before making the final choice to ensure the product is worth it.
