The Art of Gift Giving



Gift giving is an art form, and when you do give gifts to those you care about, you should make sure you know the process. If you don't, you could end up making a mistake in the gift giving process, resulting in both you and those you care about, being embarrassed.

Make sure you give gifts because you want to. If you are just giving gifts just because you feel obligated to, such as a gift for a co-worker or a distant relatives wedding, you are not going to put the same emphasis and care into the gift giving process as you would with a close friend or family member.

Whenever you are around your friends, take notes of what they express an interest in..
You can check those notes in the future , and they will help you remember what things they might like when it comes to buying the perfect gift for them.

The gift you give should say a great deal about your relationship with the recipient. Put a great deal of thought into a gift geared specifically for them. Don't waste the opportunity to show you care on a poor gift that says nothing about your relationship.

Never buy something for someone that they would buy for themselves. If you give a gift, make it something they want but would never think of buying due to price or other factors.

Wrapping a gift well says a lot about the care and attention you put into the gift. If you toss it into a grocery bag and throw some newspapers around it, that wouldn't say how much they matter to you. Take the time, do it right and you will not be sorry.

Put a note on the gift or a quick poem to say why you felt the gift would be perfect for them. It doesn't take long to put the note together but it provides an essential part of the gift. Never let your gift be late. If you are mailing the gift , make sure you send it out in enough time so it will get there by the special occasion. You don't want the gift to arrive a week after Christmas or their birthday. It doesn't take much effort to figure out when the gift will arrive at its desired destination, so make the effort to see that it gets there on time.
