With an individual approach to the choice of a gift, the likelihood that your gift will please its owner increases significantly. How to choose a gift, what to do, if you do not know what to give, what presents you need to take with care, we will look more closely in this article.
Main criteria
Floor
Gender is one of the most important criteria for choosing a gift. Many people think that choosing gifts for women is easier than for men, but this is not at all the case. Thanks to a wide range of products, you can choose the appropriate and necessary gift for both the representatives of the strong half of humanity, and for beautiful ladies. Men can give some practical items of clothing, if you know the size and its preferences in color and style in general. Women love beautiful wardrobe and interior items, elegant and stylish, delicate and sophisticated.
Of course, there are such categories of goods, among which you can easily choose a gift for both men and women. These include cosmetic products, coffee, teas, perfumes, interior items, haberdashery. Another issue is that the design and appearance will be completely different for a representative of each sex. Men's products are usually more concise and calm colors and uniform colors, without a bright and flashy pattern, of course, if a man is not a fan of extravagant taste.
Women's products can be more vivid, glamorous, delicate, with an abundance of jewelry, rhinestones and appliqués.
There are also representatives of the fair sex, who prefer male colors, calm and elegant. In this matter, everything is very individual and depends on the personal characteristics of each person.
Age
Age is also an important criterion when choosing a gift. What a 16-year-old girl will like is not suitable for a mature woman in her 60s. It is important to always consider the age category of the gift holder. Young guys and girls can be presented with a variety of modern gadgets, while the elderly will be appropriate practical and useful gifts, for example, household appliances or medical devices to improve their health and fitness, various massagers, hearing aids.
Middle-aged people can give a variety of gifts that will rhyme with their lifestyle and hobbies.
Type of person
The type of person and his type of temperament also influences the choice of a gift for him. Sociable people who love an active lifestyle, enjoy a gift with a sports bias, for example, a subscription to attend yoga, Pilates or a fitness center. More closed and calm natures who prefer a quiet home lifestyle, you can donate some interesting book or set for creativity or decorative arts. Depending on a person’s hobbies and hobbies, one can judge the most appropriate gifts for him.
As a gift to the athlete will be appropriate to any sports equipment and accessories that are used in his hobby, for example, punching bag, gloves, soccer ball or tennis racket. The girl who loves fitness, will be delighted with the new suit for training in the gym.
Profession
Profession always leaves an imprint on a person's lifestyle. Lawyers, economists, teachers, doctors, military personnel - gifts for representatives of all these professions can be intertwined with the scope of their activities. This may be a variety of souvenirs and practical gifts, which will be used in their work field.
Office employees who spend a lot of time at the computer, you can donate a massage chair for a computer chair, stationery or small office equipment.
We take into account the event and subject matter
The choice of a gift largely depends on the holiday on which it is purchased: for a birthday or anniversary, a wedding or a christening, New Year or Christmas, March 8 or February 23. As well as an important aspect is the fact who needs to give a gift: a loved one or colleague, a close relative or business partner. In all these cases, certain rules apply that are worth adhering to.
You can give more formal gifts to people with whom you work together or have long-term relationships, and for close relatives and friends it will be appropriate to present some more personal gift.
For example, a sister or a girlfriend can safely present a set of beautiful underwear as a present, and a colleague can use an organizer for stationery or a pen in beautiful packaging. Beloved man or father, you can pick up perfumes, and the head - a great plant to decorate the office.
When choosing a gift it is extremely important to observe subordination to avoid the moveton or curious situations. Women, among other things, decided to give flowers. Such a gift can be considered universal, as it will be appropriate for almost any holiday.
There is no such event that would not be decorated with an armful of beautiful fragrant roses.
What if you do not know what to give?
If you choose a gift and did not work, you can use some useful tips. For example, you can ask the person directly what he would like to receive as a gift for a certain holiday. But it happens that not everyone honestly answers the question or says that he doesn’t need anything or he doesn’t know what he wants. In this case, he can present as a gift a gift certificate for a certain amount.
The certificate can be purchased for a wide variety of goods and services, for example, to visit the spa, gym, purchase shoes, clothes, cosmetics, perfumes, haberdashery, jewelry and much more.
Such a gift is distinguished by its versatility, since a person will be able to purchase the goods he needs, focusing on his taste preferences. It is also convenient that the certificate can be selected for any amount, depending on financial possibilities and level of wealth.
If you decide to present money as a gift, then you can somehow beautifully and unusually present it, so that the owner of a cash gift will feel your reverent attitude. In this case, the origami technique comes to the rescue, thanks to which it is possible to fold the bill in an original way, using certain origami schemes of money - money bags.
What gifts should I take with care?
There are gifts that a person may perceive with resentment or misunderstanding, namely:
- it is not necessary to give scales for measuring body weight to a person with extra pounds; he can hold a grudge by receiving such a gift;
- it would be inappropriate to present a gift in the form of a gift certificate for parachuting to a person who is afraid of heights or is not a fan of active and extreme sports; he will simply refuse the offer or pass it on to someone else;
- A gym or yoga subscription can be a wonderful gift, but some people may perceive such a gift as a hint of your dissatisfaction with its appearance; such a gift can and should be given to those people who either out loud voiced their desire to go to regular sports, or by prior agreement in a soft and delicate manner so as not to offend a person;
- special attention should be paid to comic gifts with jokes; surprises and gifts of this kind are appropriate only if you have already established a trusting and close relationship with a person, and he shares your sense of humor.
When choosing a gift, the main thing is to remember that the fact of your attention is important for the person, and not the amount you spent on the purchase of a particular gift.
Make pleasant surprises for your close ones, pay attention to people dear to you, and they will appreciate your care, reverent attitude and will certainly reciprocate.
