Rainbow Gifts

Rainbows are magical, majestic, and magnificent natural occurrences that dazzle and inspire in equal measure. Although the science behind them is simple, appearing when sunlight hits rain droplets in the sky and scatters into a spectrum, you never really get over the feeling of wonder that they elicit. And it just so happens that they’re also the perfect theme for a gift to symbolise playfulness, optimism, or hope!

Something rainbow-themed is the perfect choice when you’re looking for a gift for children who love all things colourful. Any toy’s better when it comes in a spectrum of bright colours, whether it’s stretchy sensory noodles or a fidget popper sheet. For adults, rainbow gifts come in the form of decorated personalised mugs, rainbow-covered socks, and beautiful decorations for the home. Whichever gift you go for, it’s sure to inject some brightness and positivity into your recipient’s day. And any rainbow gift will be even more special if it’s personalised!

What do rainbows symbolise?

Rainbows are a symbol of hope, optimism, and better times to come in lots of cultures across the world. They hold these meanings in lots of popular legends and stories, from the Irish folklore tale of the pot of gold that lies at their end to the idea of ‘dreams coming true’ beyond the rainbow in the Wizard of Oz. These associations make them the perfect theme for gifts that are supposed to represent positivity about the future.

How many colours are there in a rainbow?

The popular rhyme outlines seven colours in the rainbow: red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange, and blue. In real life, though, the colours are more accurately described as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. And, if you want to get really scientific, the rainbow isn’t actually split into these colours but instead shows a spectrum of many different hues. But for the purposes of a rainbow present, you’ll get away with just the seven!
