From bullet journals to fitness bands, photo albums to flight tickets -- every object you buy for your loved ones must have that one essential element: your thought behind the purchase. Be it a friend, a spouse, a sibling, cousin, or your parents -- a thoughtful gift brings a smile to every face, guaranteed! And whether they deny it or not, everybody likes a special surprise gift. As 2018 is here already, lets not tire your brains out too much by overthinking. Your friend or your family member will love your gift best if it is simple, and reflects a part of you in it. Here is a list of 10 appealing gift ideas for the new year.

A bullet journal will be a perfect gift for that person, who is an organiser at heart, and a lover of anything artsy. Coupled with some colourful pens and washi tapes, a bullet journal as a gift will bring you a cosy bear hug from your friend. Your friend will be able to track down their thoughts, their activity during the year, and make to-do lists in style. An absolute classic new year gift, the bullet journal has come to replace the plain jane diary to track a person's year. For a friend who loves to make lists and plans, a bullet journal will make them ecstatic!

You may not be very good at painting, but doodling is something even a two-year-old can do. This is not a material gift per se, but it is more thoughtful. Get a pretty looking masor jar (preferably transparent) and doodle funky things on it. It will not only look great, but will emerge to be a great gift for someone who likes to believe in optimism. The trick is: from the first day of the year, jot down a happy moment of 2018 on a chit and keep it stored in the jar. This way the jar will be filled of many, many happy moments that you can read of at the end of the year!

Believe it or not, everyone loves a good skincare regime. An assortment of shampoos, soap, some incense sticks, and good moisturizer -- not just looks pretty, but also takes good care of your good friend who took care of your in times of need. Add some body butter and an organic lip balm to that basket, and your friend will appear fresh, detoxed and as fresh as a daisy.

Your partner must have made a new year's resolution of trimming that tummy bulge. Be a good pal and gift him/her a fitness brand that will help them pursue their resolution in a more streamlined way. This is also a great gift for your diabetic friend who needs to keep a track of his/her steps or your father, who wants to go that extra mile to burn his calories. Whatever be the reason, or whoever is the gift for, a fitness band means you mean the best for them!

If you have that extra moolah, and immense love for the person you want to gift this to, you can always buy a weekend stay at a fancy hotel suite for someone you want to have a blissful time, away from their regular bustling life. This will be a perfect gift for the new year, when they can have a personal time at a nice place with nice food, and also will be rejuvenating themselves.

There are plenty of small bookcases and shelves available online. Get a funky one for your friend for that extra little space on the living room wall. Once they have it, they would definitely want to fill it up with books and would eventually get into the habit of reading. For someone who is already an avid reader, a shelf space is always welcome!

We've all seen those storage boxes at the store and online and have lusted over them. They save a lot of space and make a room, especially a closet look wonderfully tidy. Make your friend's life easier and their room prettier by gifting him/her a set of storage boxes. Not only will they make their life clutter free, but will also credit you for a complete closet makeover!

Nothing says "I love you and I trust you" more than a plant. A plant as a gift depicts your blind faith in someone, who you can trust with your life! A green, organic, oxygen diffusing living thing, a plant takes care of your friend and purifies this toxic air to the best of its abilitites. All it needs is some water and sunlight!

If your friend/sibling/cousin loves to travel and take photos wherever they go, this is the ideal gift. A physical, tangible photo album in the age of Instagram and Facebook has become almost obsolete and whenever we see one, we are flushed with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Gift a beautiful photo album where they can document their travels photographically.
