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! Youll 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 ever
received. These should lead you towards a good choice.
3. Next, come the young generation. Buying a gift fao a toddler or a child is as easy as
choosing somethng for your adolescent friend or relative. After all, kids need toys and
clothes while teens are happy with CDs or a pair of friendly jeans, right? Not necessarily!
The little ones usually end up with too many topys or clothes, and teens go through so
many mood swings and changes that you never know what makes them happy. Again,
just ask what theyd like!
4. Of course, choosing the right present doesnt 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 throughtfulness.
5. Naturally, there will be times when you simply dont know what to choose. If thats the
case, the simplest way to avoid giving the wrong present or worrying too much about
what to choose is 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 cant really go wrong!
