Overview

This theme is as simple as it sounds. You can stick with one colour or use several.
If your giftee has a favorite colour, try working with that . If they’re eco-friendly, go with a green theme.
Try using the uniform colours in your giftee’s favourite sports team.

Gift Ideas

Dining/food and beverage options:
- Consider restaurants with a colour in their name (eg: Green Chili, Yellow Door, Whitehall).
- Think about types of food or beverages that are associated with a colour (eg: lobster, white/red wine, blue Hawaiian cocktail)
Activity options: Think about activities that are associated with certain colours.
- Blue: a day at the beach, boating, cruises, the Blue Man Group, going to a blues concert…
- Green: visit your local botanical gardens, take a hike in the woods, travel to the Emerald Isle (Ireland), a game of golf (spend some time on the green), or simply make your community a bit greener by picking up some trash.
- Red: go star-gazing while Mars (the red planet) is in the sky, come up with a fun date night and call it “painting the town red”…
- Yellow: go for a walk on a sunny day, take a yellow taxi somewhere…
You can try to incorporate all the colours in this gift, or just use one or two.
Event options:
- Music: Is there a band coming to town with a colour in its name (eg: Green Day, Black Keys) or song title (eg: Red Rain, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Orange Crush)? Or make your giftee a playlist with those songs.
- Sports: Incorporate the home team’s colours into the gift. Or watch a team with a colour in their name (eg: Red Sox, Blue Jackets).
- Theatre/movies: Think about shows that have a colour in the title (eg: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Red Riding Hood, Blue Planet) or perhaps an event that is associated with a certain colour (eg: Wicked, the musical, where the witch is green).
Many items come in a wide array of colours and can be easily incorporated into the gift:
- Clothing and accessories (sports jerseys, hats, etc).
- Flowers (eg: roses, violets, lilies, orchids).
- Items like candles and balloons
- Gemstones and jewelry (eg: emerald, ruby, sapphire, gold)
- Think about a game of paintball which could involve any colour.
If you’re thinking about travelling, use the colours in your destination country’s flag.
In a hurry? Pick up some red wine and yellow roses on the way home, play some blues and base your gift on the primary colours.
As with all gifting, use your imagination and don’t be afraid to stretch the theme a bit. For instance, if there’s a comedian your giftee likes coming to town with the last name Green, go with it.

Wrapping

Use wrapping paper in your colour of choice. Or wrap the gift in white paper but doodle on it with a coloured marker.
If you have school aged kids (or you’re a kid at heart) have them draw on the wrapping paper or make a collage with it.
Try an online search for the colour you want and print out the coolest image you find, then use that as wrapping paper.
Tie a small item related to the colour(s) you chose into the ribbon around the gift (eg: a rose, a leaf, crayons).

Presentation

You can start by letting your giftee know that you’ve based their gift around a colour, or many colours, and why.
People love to know that you’ve listened to them and know their likes and dislikes. So you can tell them that you know their favorite color is blue, so you based the gift around that.
Or you might take a feeling that the colour evokes and roll with that. For instance, “yellow is a bright cheerful color, and it makes me think of you” or “red is the universal colour of love and I wanted to let you know how loved you are”.
Use quotes or phrases that relate to your theme when you present the gifts or in your card. For example:
- Your beautiful garden and green thumb inspired this gift.
- Once in a blue moon, you meet someone who makes you feel special.
- I hope this gift makes your day a bit more colourful.
