The moment September begins, we start dreaming about everything the festive season has in store for us. And that catapults us into planning social events, outfits, gifting and everything else around the holidays.
Gifting as a concept is huge in the latter part of the year. But when you’re juggling life, a social calendar, work, traffic and everything else that makes up your day-to-day, last-minute gifting can be, and probably is, a huge stressor.
A trick that helps most serial gifters is to make a quick list of people and occasions that may come up, and shop for them during sale season. Not only are you prepared, but you also end up saving a lot by doing away with the festive surge in prices.
With that, I have the biggest scoop for you guys. The Half Price Sale by DailyObjects is LIVE.
The Half Price Sale makes sure you and all the folks in your life you love indulging with gifts are sorted, literally.
It’s a sitewide sale with some of the greatest deals running for four days. Even the newest launches have a little discount, making buying into them that much easier.
I have a few categories myself that I’m scouting for my year-end gifting. And I plan my gifts for the year way in advance, at least six months ahead, in fact. Here are my tricks:
Laptop Sleeves & Work Bags
We live in a generation where most of us are spending way too much time on all things 9-to-5. So, might as well do it well.
And that’s where laptop sleeves and work bags really make for thoughtful and useful gifts. Get them across different ranges, from Puft to Pivot, in neutral colourways, and you can literally gift them to a friend, a sibling, a relative visiting from overseas, or even your dad!
Phone Cases & Accessories
I think it is well established that our phones are an extension of our limbs at this point.
Toxic trait, yes. Are we doing something to change it? No.
So, might as well show up as the “yes, I understand your needs and here is a fun gift for you because I am that thoughtful” friend, rather than with another bouquet of flowers.
Look at the collection of Stack phone cases, the entire ecosystem of accessories, and the artist phone collections, which have a myriad of styles to pick and choose from.
You can get them for Secret Santa gifts, birthday presents, “I just thought of you” moments, “please change your cover because it’s time” interventions, and so many other occasions.
And you can do this literally at half the price.
Power Banks & Chargers
I do think the way we give gifts during the festive season has changed. Instead of boxes laden with sweets, something ornate for the home, or something random you bought because it was trending, there’s a growing shift towards gifting things that are genuinely useful.
Lifestyle tech has quietly become one of those categories. I see people gifting tech for milestone birthdays, Diwali, new jobs, new homes and everything in between.
And there’s plenty to choose from at DailyObjects. The Node ecosystem, Loft charging station, Loop power bank and Surge series are all on sale at never-before prices, making this a good time to pick up something for that tech person in your life.
The Half Price Sale is also a great excuse to think beyond the immediate festive calendar. Stock up for the year ahead, get a few gifts sorted before the rush, or simply pick up something you’ve been wanting for yourself.
Because the best gifts are usually the ones that strike that sweet spot between thoughtful, useful and just a little unexpected.
So, make the most of it. Get ahead of the gifting rush, switch up your gifting game and stock up while you can.
