I actually have met this lady, Samiya through one of our family friends recently who is a yoga trainer and has a three year old kid. I was talking to her and came to know that she has been married for 10 years and were blessed with this angel after a long time of seven years. I was kind of amazed when upon knowing more about her. She maintains a photo album where she has a good collection of her little one’s every day photos. And she also has this habit of buying new and personalized gifts for her angel. She showed me an almirah where all the beautiful small gifts and toys were kept. She actually spends a lot of time in going around and hand picking the gifts for her little one. She also is a kind of person who celebrated every moment in her life, whether it be a birthday, marriage anniversary, work anniversary, the day she first met her husband, the day they got engaged and she enjoys sharing a small token of love to show her feelings.

I asked how she managed to find these special gifts, she explained a long story of collecting it from various places and infact various countries she visited. I just introduced her to the Online Gift Ideas and she was not very much convinced of them initially. I then took her to various platforms where she can pick any kind of gifts she likes. She took some time understanding how the whole thing works and now she is very much active in buying the online gifts (Dubai).

Samiya is now sharing about the easiness and convenience of online gifts to all her friends as well. She had recently hosted her kid’s third birthday party and I was also invited there. She had made the arrangements very nicely and there was a big range of gifts kept ready for all the guests who attended the party. I was really happy when she thanked me for introducing her to the online gifting platform and how much it has helped her in saving time and money.

Yes, shopping online has many benefits when compared to the traditional way of sharing gifts. The most important being the convenience, that the gifts can be short listed, selected and bought online sitting at home. It also helps in saving some dirhams as well as most of the online channels offer the discounts and there are no middle men involved. Especially during the months of June- September, who likes to out when the summer is at its peak? This is one factor which has resulted in a boost in online gifts in UAE. Climate, parking, crowd all these are couple of factors to make any one think of going online while shopping anything not just gifts.

The situation has come to a point where the grocery and daily house hold items including the fish and meat are sold online. Far are not the days when expensive metals like gold also will be bought and shared online. At the moment, there are so many portals like ‘You Got a Gift’ giving options on buying gift cards from famous jewelers like Malabar Gold and Joy Alukkas. Let us sit at home and enjoy the whole shopping experience.
