Gifts That Count

in #steemit6 years ago

Generosity is an attractive quality, but thoughtfulness can often be much more valuable and appreciated than the monetary value of a gift.

Some people have a genuine knack of choosing gifts which count, but it is something that can be learned. The starting point is knowing and understanding the tastes, likes and interests of the recipient. The direct way is to ask “what would you really like me to buy you as a present?” It should ensure that you buy something that is wanted, but lacks somewhat in subtlety. Somewhat better is to ask for a few ideas or pointers. Actively and continuously listening and looking for ideas and signals long before the time comes to buy a present is the ideal way To buy a gift for the home requires consciously being aware of the taste, style and colour schemes which the person has already chosen.

To give a gift of clothing is a very personal thing to do, especially for the opposite sex, and there is a risk that it will scarcely ever be worn or regarded as downright unsuitable. The chances of getting it right can be increased by carefully observing the taste, style, look and colours favoured by the recipient.

Some people have the knack of choosing exciting or unusual gifts, but again one has to be able to anticipate the response of the recipient. Exciting presents include activities such as a ride in the London Eye, a journey by steam train, a parachute jump, a session driving a racing car on a track. The list is endless, it requires thoughtfulness and a little imaginationz

Sort:  

Buying someone a gift that he/she will appreciate is like preparing for the final exam. It's hard. And if you don't get it right the recipient might be left wondering, "What the hell did he just gift me?He really is clueless..."

Well said. Thank you for coming here
