Five out-of-this-world gifts to give
Consider these out-of-this-world and out-of-the-box festive season gifts to truly delight family, friends or a partner.
Deciding which gift to buy your loved ones is always challenging.
mygeneRx [https://mygenerx.co.za/about-us/] said to harnesses the power of genetic testing to ensure accurate, safe and effective prescription of medication – has compiled a list of possible gifts that are not only out of this world, but that have longevity.
1. Name a star
Did you know you can name a star after someone you adore or admire?
Name A Star in South Africa gives you the power to pick a star in the galaxy and name it after someone special. The recipient is gifted with a certificate of authenticity, star name, date of registration and the star’s co-ordinates – and how to find it. It’s a charming gift the recipient will think of every time he or she looks up at the night sky – and it doesn’t cost the moon either. Find out more at www.nameastar.za.net
2. Grow a passion
Register a loved-one for a short course in an area of interest or passion. From interior design to music lessons, business acumen or culinary expression, it can be the start of something beautiful. Check out www.thegreatcourses.com or www.yuppiechef.com to start.
3. Give the gift of health
Imagine gifting someone better healthcare for the rest of their lives.
It may be unconventional, but a DNA test might just be the best gift you’ve ever given. mygeneRx determines how an individual metabolises medication, to ensure they’re taking the right medication at the right dose – now or in the future. That means fewer side effects, safer treatment, and maximum effectiveness.
It’s an easy, non-invasive genetic test (done via a cheek swab) and analyses responsiveness to approximately 200 medications covering cardiovascular, psychiatry and pain management – you can even have it delivered to the recipient’s door. Order the test at www.mygenerx.co.za
4. Make a donation in someone’s name
A donation in the name of a loved one is a touching gift – especially for a cause that’s close to their hearts. Make the donation in their name or in the name of a deceased loved-one to keep their legacy alive forever. At www.worldvision.org or https://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/onetime.cfm, you can donate in someone’s honour and make a real impact. Also consider www.worldwildlife.org or https://www.cansa.org.za/.
5. Provide free-time
Want to give a busy person the perfect gift? Give them the gift of time. Time-saving services, like three months of dry-cleaning or dog-walking, are a winner of a present for the pragmatic and the time-pressed.
What you’re actually giving them is deserved ‘me time’ – and what could be better than that? Ask their local service provider if they’d be willing to allow you to pay for a year upfront, then create your own gift voucher. Alternatively, go for serious pampering with a year’s worth of nail treatments from https://www.sorbet.co.za/gift-cards/?step=1
