Have you ever found yourself in a gifting-related pickle? Imagine this, you have recently moved in with a roommate in a new city. You are briefly back home for a short while or maybe have gone on separate vacations and want to bring them a souvenir or memento as a courtesy to your growing friendship. Or, there is a big life occasion, like a birthday, around the corner and you want to gift them something special. In either situation, you find yourself clueless, possibly delaying till the last minute as you have no clue about what on the planet to get them. Well, we feel you.

Purchasing a present for your roommate is a totally unique ball game contrasted with getting something for your family, companions, and noteworthy others. You have known the latter for a while and are familiar with their likes and dislikes, so picking a gift for them is often a breeze.

Some of us do manage to foster such extraordinary connections with roommates as well and can bank on shared interests, inside jokes and complementary experiences that give us a clear idea of their likes. But if you are one of those who are on amicable terms with a roommate yet don’t know them well enough or have just begun living together in your PG in Chennai, so are yet to discover their interests, this list is a safe recommendation for you:

Customized Accessories

If you do manage to dig a bit into your roommates’ interests, you can customize some accessories for them as a gifting option. Are they crazy about chai? Pick a fun customized mug. Are they the resident book-lover of your PG or hostel in Chennai? Get a quirky wall quote. Similarly, you can pick up some cues – an expression or word they often use, something that is an ode to your roommate’s personality and bring these elements to customize your gift. Every time they use or see the gift, it is sure to spark a grin or a happy memory. Funny Flags could be a hilarious addition to their room, adding a playful touch to their space.

Home Decor is an Ideal Cheer Me-Up

If you have moved into a hostel in Chennai offered by Stanza Living, you already have the benefit of spacious, well-designed rooms. But some home décor can add a personal touch to space. There may be things they miss about their room back home or they may have a special interest like painting, music, pottery, etc which you can use as a starting point to decide your gift. Pixie lights, wall artworks, house plants, cushions, wall stickers, lights, desk décor, frames, etc are just a few of the many lovely options that you can easily find. If they love taxidermy, they will surely appreciate receiving deer mounts as gifts. There are many cool brands online which offer a wide range of options from quirky to sophisticated, that you can choose. Adding big white vase pottery can elevate home decor in a flash, change a space, and make it look considerably more welcoming and warmer.

Framed Photos

When Ed Sheeran sang “we keep this love in a photograph, we keep these memories for ourselves”, he captured the essence of relationships that get caught in a beautiful photoshoot. Framed photographs that capture all the fun and funny times you spent together can be an incredible present for your flatmate, particularly when there is a story behind each. With most of our photos being digital, there is still a charm in having some physical copies up on your wall or desk. You can also include photographs of your roommate’s pet, family, dear companions, or any other person who is important to them.
