Choosing the Right Gift
1 ..............
Imagine spending all this time, money and effort in choosing the perfect
gift for your friend and as soon as she sees it, the disappointment she
feels is so great that no degree of politeness on her part can hide her
reaction! You’ll probably feel quite embarrassed, and she is likely to feel
quite awkward too, because of her reaction. Well, there are certain
things
you
can
do
to
avoid
such
embarrassment.
2...............
To begin with, it is said that mothers, sisters, girlfriends, daughters and
so on are more difficult to shop for, so do a little research before making
your choice of gift. Pay attention to what the girl or lady you want to
buy a gift for usually buys for herself. Think of her hobbies and interests
or ask her to describe some of the best gifts she’s ever received. These
should lead you towards a good choice.
3...............
Next, come the young generation. Buying a gift for a toddler or a child is
as easy as choosing something for your adolescent friend or relative.
After all, kids need toys and clothes while teens are happy with CDs or a
pair of trendy jeans, right? Not necessarily! The little ones usually end
up with too many toys or clothes, and teens go through so many mood
swings and changes that you never know what makes them happy.
Again, just ask what they’d like!
4...............
Of course, choosing the right present doesn’t have to be so stressful.
What matters is not the amount of money that goes into your gift but
whether your choice reflects your feelings for the person who receives it.
Buying a pricey stereo or piece of jewellery may not be fully appreciated
if they are just displays of wealth rather than thoughtfulness.
5...............
Naturally, there will be times when you simply don't know what to
choose. If that’s the case, the simplest way to avoid giving the wrong
present or worrying too much about what to choose is a gift certificate or
something more general, like a big bunch of flowers or a nice box of
chocolates. Presents like that are most often welcome, so you can't really
go wrong!
