10 gift ideas to say “I’m with you” — with intention
Little gestures that stay by their side, reconnect, and lift the spirits. Practical ideas for when you want to be close —even from afar— that you can put together today.
Small gifts, big company
You don’t need grand gestures: a clear intention and a careful touch are enough. These ideas are for anyone who wants to be present in everyday moments —low moods, small reunions, quiet celebrations— and is looking for something sincere and easy to put together.
10 ways to accompany: practical and full of heart
Six ideas you can add to any gift + four sweet, concrete ways to gift a Puffy.
Mini pick-me-up kit
Who / When: A friend or partner who needs a little boost after a hard day or some bad news.
- Choose 3–5 small things: a candle, a favorite tea or coffee, a note, and something tasty (homemade or store-bought).
- Package them in a small box with pretty paper and a handwritten tag.
- Leave the box at their door or give it with a quiet hug if you can.

Suggested note: “For the days you need company. I’m here, always.”
Clue hunt around the house
Who / When: For a partner or housemate —great for reconnecting after routine days.
- Prepare 3–4 clues tied to memories (a photo, a song, a favorite spot).
- Hide them in obvious but meaningful places: a bag, the fridge, the pillow.
- End the hunt with a small gift or a cozy treat ready to share.

Suggested note: “We start here. Follow the clues and end in a hug.”
Surprise box sent from afar
Who / When: For family or a friend who lives far away and needs company; when you can’t be there in person.
- Pack a box with three little gifts and a handwritten letter that includes a simple ritual (read together on the phone, watch the same movie at the same time).
- Include clear, warm instructions for the ritual on a card.
- Ship it and send a message to coordinate the ritual date.

Surprise welcome when they arrive
Who / When: A partner or family member returning from a trip or after a long workday.
- Set the scene: soft lighting, their favorite snack, and a note on the bedside or sofa.
- Play a warm playlist and have a comforting drink ready.
- Greet them calmly and give them time; a small surprise can be unforgettable without being flashy.

A gift to care for yourself (self-gift)
Who / When: For you, when you need to pause and reconnect with yourself.
- Choose an item that symbolizes rest: a blanket, a pretty mug, a book, or a comforting playlist.
- Plan an afternoon just for you: no obligations, only what soothes you.
- Write a reminder note: permission to rest without guilt.

Celebrate an achievement with a thoughtful touch
Who / When: A friend or family member who’s accomplished something meaningful (work, project, exam).

- Include a card explaining why their achievement makes you happy.
- Host a mini celebration—even a small toast at home counts.

Puffy that holds a letter
Who / When: For a partner or close friend; a moment to say something that’s hard to say out loud.

- Place the letter in Puffy’s clothes or under its arm so it’s easy to find.
- Hand it over or leave it somewhere they’ll see when they come home.

- Tuck a small or medium Puffy in their bag with a short note.
- If you can, add a snack or a card with a funny memory.
- Let a close contact know if the bag might not be checked soon.

Puffy that appears after a trip

Common mistakes when preparing an intentional gift
- Not thinking through logistics: a perfect gift that doesn’t arrive on time loses its impact.
- Making it too complicated: simple gestures done well move people more than grand plans done poorly.
- Skipping a note: without words that explain the intention, the gift can be misunderstood.
- Not adapting to the context: a playful item might not fit if the person needs comfort.
- Forcing a surprise if they prefer predictability or need privacy.
How to choose the right idea
Think about the feeling you want to spark: calm, joy, support, or celebration. Pick something simple, add an honest note, and a Puffy touch to make the gesture memorable. The most important thing is that your gift shows you were thinking of the other person.

See PuffysFrequently asked questions
Is Puffy for formal occasions or just intimate moments?
Puffy is versatile: it works as a cozy home detail or as a companion at more formal celebrations if you present it with a thoughtful card or a suitable accessory.
How do I choose the right “touch” without it feeling forced?
Think of a shared memory or what the person values (food, music, color). A small detail linked to that is always natural and sincere.
Can I combine several ideas from this list?
Yes. Many ideas pair nicely: for example, a mini kit inside a clue hunt, or a Puffy in the suitcase plus a note for the reunion.
Where can I see options to dress or personalize Puffy?
In the outfits and accessories sections you’ll find options to change Puffy’s look and adapt it to the gesture you’re preparing.
