Yes, previously people would avoid purchasing one, as a gift since those available were ordinary and just did not look like gifts. But now with the variety available, you could get one with various additional amenities and in a variety of shapes and sizes that the receiver would appreciate most. For example, if your friend is a cricket fan, you could get him or her a clock with a portrait of their favorite cricketer, or the alarm clock could be in the shape of the cricket ball or bat.


Apart from essential objects such as clocks, telephones, lights, clothes, pen stands, etc., you could also pick up memorabilia or collectibles. These would include objects that enhance one's hobby further. For instance, if someone is into coin collecting, you could purchase a collection of coins or a book on coin collections. Or if someone collects movies, you could get them a pouch or cabinet for them to place their dvds or vcds.

In fact presenting something on a birthday, anniversary or any other occasion is an opportunity for one to give the recipient what they require. Many people generally do not purchase what they require or want most postponing it for sometime in the future. And before they know it they have forgotten about it. So ideally, keep track of what your loved one wants and has not purchased, and surely a novel variety of it would be available.
