Unique shower curtains are the perfect gift for any season

I think recycling gifts is a terrible crime in the world of etiquette, but I also believe that giving gifts that deserve to be recycled is an even worse transgression. It might be painful for you to see that top you gave your friend last Christmas worn by her cousin (or worse, in a thrift store) but the top was probably to blame to begin with. The next occasion, then, try to give something practical, something useful but at the same time fun. This is why I think unique shower curtains are a great gift for any occasion.

Choose Unique Fabric Shower Curtains

Shower curtains in unique designs are the perfect balance of personalization and showing that you put thought into the gift, and practicality and showing that you are not all about sentiment and believe that everything that costs your money should be useful. Choose a shower curtain in a design that fits the personality and lifestyle of the gift recipient. If you are giving the shower curtain as a housewarming gift, for example, you can go for happy and warm designs like nature patterns in feminine colors (provided that there is a woman in the house).

If the shower curtain is a wedding gift for a newly married couple, you can try fun silhouette designs that can be a pleasant surprise. If you are giving the shower curtain as a baby shower gift, or for a child’s birthday, take the time and effort to find out what the child’s favorite cartoon character is (or whatever semblance of a favorite it may be, if the child is newly born or unborn) and buy a shower curtain in that same design.

Unique shower curtains make rooms more fun

The added perk to this is for the parent, because getting your child to take a shower can be so much easier if you make the bathroom look like a more fun place to be in. If you are giving a shower curtain to a good friend, you can perhaps get one with inspirational words on it, as a reminder every morning to start the day right. Some manufacturers may even let you have your shower curtain as a customized gift, so you can be totally creative and just use your imagination.

While thinking of all of these design concepts, you should not forget practical matters too. No matter how pretty or creative your design is, your gift will be a hassle rather than a joy to have around if it is difficult to maintain. Remember that a bathroom is prone to grout, mold, and mildew formation, so you should get a shower curtain in something resistant to that or easy to clean. Vinyl and plastic, for example, are much easier to maintain than fabric, since fabric absorbs water and forms mildew faster. Try to make these kinds of considerations, especially if the person you are giving it to is a really busy couple with a newborn baby, or a bachelor who does not care much for cleaning. You will be able to find many mildew resistant materials out there, so don’t fret.
