The Art Of Gift Giving
Love it or hate it, the custom of giving gifts is one that has stuck with us humans through the years and is unlikely to be going away anytime soon. From back in the caveman days when our cavemen ancestors would give animal teeth or pretty shaped stones as gifts, or the ancient Egyptians who gave gifts to their pharaohs on coronation day, gift giving has been a part of our way of living for a very long time.
Some of us relish the challenge of setting out to find the perfect gift for our friends and relatives, while some of us shudder at the thought of having to pick out a gift for someone. Whichever camp you fall in, here at goodgiftsguide.com we are here to help you!
To truly give a meaningful gift to someone, a gift that you just know they’re going to love and cherish, you have to know a thing or two about your recipient. Watchers of The Simpsons may recall the famous bowling ball gift giving incident, in which Homer gives Marge a bowling ball. Homer wanted the bowling ball, not Marge! It should go without saying, always make sure when giving a gift, that you have made or bought something that your intended recipient might actually want and enjoy and not something that you wish you could have for yourself.
Know Your Subject!
Know Your Subject!Think about your recipient. What do they enjoy doing? Do they have hobbies or interests you could use in your gift planning? Do they support or follow any sporting teams? Do they like particular food or wines? Do they like outdoor activities or are they more of a homebody? As you start to build a picture of your recipient you’ll start to get some ideas of things they might like. But, be careful! Don’t buy exercise equipment for someone because you think they need to lose weight! If they’ve expressed an interest in getting fit and healthy, then go for it, but never use gift giving to push your ideas of how you think a person should be or behave.
It’s Better To Give Than To Receive
It really is true that giving can be better than receiving. Giving makes us feel happy!
That feeling of excitement before a birthday, Christmas or other gift giving occasion really can be greater for the giver than the receiver if you know you have found some lucky person the perfect gift. The smile on their face and genuine excitement they exhibit on opening the gift is so worth the time and effort you’ve put into finding the perfect present for them. But, be careful, it’s addictive this gift giving business, and once you master it you’ll start longing for birthdays and Christmas shopping season to come so you can keep practising your skill!
