Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who loves perfume making, I have a few thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that would certainly make their birthday extra special.

1. DIY Perfume-Making Kit: Surprise your friend with a high-quality perfume-making kit that includes essential oils, fragrance notes, empty bottles, and blending tools. This will allow them to explore their passion for perfume making from the comfort of their own home, experimenting and creating signature scents.

2. Perfume-Making Workshop: Consider gifting your friend a ticket or voucher to attend a perfume-making workshop or class. There are many boutique perfumeries and fragrance houses that offer hands-on sessions where participants can learn about the art of perfume-making, create their own unique fragrances, and even personalize the bottle labels.

3. Subscription to a Fragrance Library: Support your friend's hobby by subscribing them to a fragrance library service. These services offer a curated selection of perfumes from around the world, delivered to their doorstep on a monthly or quarterly basis. They can explore a wide range of scents and discover new favorites, expanding their knowledge and collection.

4. Personalized Perfume Bottles: If your friend has already ventured into creating their own perfumes, consider gifting them personalized perfume bottles. You could have their name or a special message engraved onto a beautifully crafted bottle, making it a one-of-a-kind piece for their collection.

5. Customized Perfume Labels: Help your friend take their perfume-making to the next level by designing customized labels for their creations. These labels could feature their own brand name, logo, or simply their initials. Websites like Vistaprint or Zazzle allow you to easily create custom labels that can be affixed to the perfume bottles.

6. Fragrance Organizers: Perfume enthusiasts often accumulate quite a collection of fragrance bottles. Help your friend keep their perfumes beautifully displayed and easily accessible with a stylish fragrance organizer. There are various designs available, from elegant mirrored trays to multi-tiered racks or even customized shelving units.

7. Coffee Table Perfume Book: Expand your friend's knowledge and appreciation for perfume by gifting them a coffee table book dedicated to the art of fragrance. There are numerous beautifully illustrated books available on the history, ingredients, and artistry behind perfumes. Some popular options include "Fragrance: The Story of Perfume from Cleopatra to Chanel" by Lizzie Ostrom or "Perfumes: The Guide" by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is to show that you understand and support their passion. By choosing a gift that complements their interest in perfume making, you'll not only make their birthday special but also demonstrate your thoughtfulness and consideration for their hobbies and interests.

Or you can get her/him a star map with the date when she/he was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
