The world of gifting is always evolving. As we move into 2025, new trends are shaping how we give and receive. From meaningful experiences to sustainable luxury, here’s a look at what’s hot—and how Urban City Gifts is staying ahead.

Trend 1: Personalised and meaningful

People aren’t just buying things—they’re buying memories, connection, and story. Gifts that convey personal messages—like our candle “You’re The Ying to My Yang”—tap into that emotional dimension. These types of gifts help build stronger bonds, and they’re extremely shareable on social media.

Trend 2: Premium gift baskets as experiences

Rather than a single item, 2025 is about gifting full experiences. Our “Birthday Gift Basket, Pampering Birthday Gift Box” and “Cheer up Gift Basket, Natural Care Package, Recovery Gift Box” exemplify this trend: curated, premium, and built to impress. The basket becomes the stage for celebration.

Trend 3: Eco-luxury

Sustainability isn’t just about low cost or minimalist; it’s about upscale eco-friendly design. The “Bamboo Divided Dish / Bento Box” line demonstrates how premium materials like bamboo can deliver both elegance and conscience. People want gifts that look good, feel good, and do good.

Trend 4: Gifts for self-care and wellness

Self-care continues to dominate. Whether it’s through scented candles, pamper boxes or items that invite relaxation and mindfulness, giving someone the gift of “me-time” is more popular than ever. Our candle collection and pampering gift boxes fit this trend perfectly.

Trend 5: Small gifts with big meaning

Not every gift needs to be large or expensive. Trinkets and treasures like the “Amethyst Ball Ring” or “Arc Leather Cuff Bracelet” offer affordable luxury with emotional impact. These make excellent additions to larger gifts or standalone gestures for those “just because” moments.
