In this article, we discuss how considerate giving does not need to be expensive. Whether it is a birthday, Eid, graduation, or casual get together, a present that is thoughtful, even under Rs. 1000, goes a long way. In Pakistan, every occasion is an event waiting to happen, be it weddings in Lahore to hi-teas in Karachi. Meaningful gifts, no matter how low the price is set can easily be acquired as long as these guides are followed. This enables the user to choose from smart and creative ideas for every relationship and event.
With the pace of life increasing, people nowadays have to deal with inflation as well. Due to this many people tend to think that gifts should be exorbitantly priced in order to be appreciated. This, however, does not bear true. When it comes to effort and creativity, the items that matter the most, means that the price does not. Gifting within a limit is easier than some people think and can be made effortless with the right thought and decisions.
