DO’S AND DON’TS OF GIFT GIVING – GIFT IDEA
Are you a dreadful present giver? You’re out of gift ideas after buying the same people year after year. Are you ready to give money and a Birthday Wishes card to get the job done?
Breaks are stressful enough. If you’re unsure what to buy, shopping for gifts can only increase your anxiety. Even the most sincere of intentions can be hurt if a recipient does not like their assistance and cannot cover it up with false appreciation or if they perceive your gift as cheap, unattractive, or lacking in thought. Here are some gift suggestions, ideas for where to buy presents, and things to remember when purchasing for different people, ranging from close relatives to those you randomly draw names out of at work.
DON’T
Please do not wait until the last moment to improve your reputation and yourself. From my experience, having to run to the store 15 minutes before your friend’s birthday party is not funny.
DO: Take mental notes of any clues or small details your friends and family give you throughout the year.
When shopping with them, please pay attention to what they say or look at. Please make a list of the things they’ve told you about. You will be ready for Christmas and birthdays.
Don’t: Do not forget to bring the card
Often, the card will be the most essential part of the gift because it is the most personalized. Words are the most powerful way to express love and gratitude, whether you buy it in the store or make it yourself. My favorite souvenirs are the handmade cards made family. Your words can show how much you love your family and friends.
ALWAYS choose more customized gifts over standard-made ones
Anyone can give their mother a $100 Home Goods gift card (which she will love), but you are the only one who can give her a framed photo of you both from your kindergarten first day. The value of the gift is more important than the price.
DON’T
Gift cards can be a great way to give a quick and easy gift. However, you should consider the person you will be giving it to. If the person receiving the gift is someone you love, avoid giving them a gift card.
Always use attractive packaging!
You must make your friend or relative happy even if they only see the gift. Save your bags and tissue paper to recycle. You will save time and money.
DO NOT Offer a Religious Gift
Be considerate of religious preferences. You and the recipient may feel uncomfortable if you give a gift to someone who will not accept it because of their religious beliefs. Don’t make assumptions; ask if someone celebrates the holiday without giving details about their religious beliefs.
Make it Special:
Consider what might appeal to your friend’s character by matching their present with their interest. A symbol can be used to personalize a gift, such as a coffee cup or stationary with a monogram. Don’t forget to include a handwritten note with your donation.
Don’t buy gift cards for areas where they don’t shop
Understand me; I don’t hate gift cards. Gift cards can be great, but you should still consider them. You should only buy a gift certificate if you know the recipient will use it.
Do not use the usual Visa or Amazon gift cards. Choose a restaurant they visit only once a year or their favorite hobby store. This will make them feel like they’re on a special occasion, not just going to the grocery store to buy batteries. You can purchase a large voucher for a store you know they will visit after the break. You may even be able to use their new fridge or large-screen television as an effect.
Don’t: Buy for their tastes, not yours
Consider the recipient’s favorite things. What is their favorite cartoon, show, movie, or city? These are the subjects to look for in gifts. The presents can be sophisticated or tacky depending on the person’s personality. It does not necessarily mean it is in line with your tastes.
Do not try to captivate them with your hobbies and interests through a presentation. If your wife has never fished, she is unlikely to be interested in a pink rod. If your husband has always worn bootcut jeans, he won’t need skinny jeans. It is not the right time to make people try new things. You want to appeal to their preferences and tastes.
DON’T: Regift
Diverse schools of thought exist, but I am adamant: don’t regret anything! Return the gift you don’t need or give it to someone else as a gesture of “just because.” You can also organize a regifting party where people are asked to bring something they own and want to give away. This way, some people aren’t regifting gifts while others remove a few extra items from their wardrobe.
Regifting can make you look cheap. If the person who gave you the gift finds out you wrapped it for someone else, they may feel insulted. It is also unlikely that anyone else would want it either.
Do you have any ideas for homemade gifts or customized presents?
Etsy is a great place to find high-end handmade gifts. You can search for artists who make themed items after the people on your list. Themes like music, books, and geek values dominate Etsy. These are articles that look very professional and are well-written. Check out quickly so your report can be dispatched.
Don’t: Don’t spend unnecessary money on holiday gifts for your friends.
Giving someone a $10 Starbucks gift card will make them feel bad when they unpack the massage chair. The opposite should be accurate. Gifts should never make people feel bad. What matters is the thought behind gifting, not the dollar amount.
Pay attention to minor details.
Individual touches make gifts unique and memorable. The best gifts are those that require effort. Homemade cards, homemade cookies, and DIY mugs are all excellent. Donations that are beautifully or artistically packaged can also be appreciated.
