Many people think that giving gifts is just as enjoyable as receiving them. Choosing a gift for one reason or another, we most often focus on a variety of factors, which include gender, age of a person, his hobbies and hobbies, lifestyle and taste preferences. For most of us, this is a pleasant and fascinating activity, during which the mood improves, and the anticipation inspires and inspires with the joy of the owner.
With an individual approach to choosing a gift, the likelihood that your present will appeal to its owner significantly increases. How to choose a gift, what to do if you do not know what to give, which presentations need to be treated with caution, we will examine in more detail in this article.
Main criteria
Floor
Gender is one of the most important gift selection criteria. Many people think that it’s easier for women to choose gifts than men, but that’s not the case. Thanks to a wide range of products, you can choose the appropriate and necessary gift for both representatives of the strong half of humanity and beautiful ladies. Men can be presented with some practical items of clothing if you know the size and its preferences in the color scheme and style in general. Women love beautiful wardrobe and interior items, elegant and stylish, delicate and sophisticated.
Of course, there are also such categories of goods, among which you can easily choose a gift for both men and women. These include cosmetic products, coffee, teas, perfumes, home decoration, and haberdashery. Another issue is that the design and appearance will be completely different for a representative of each gender.Men's goods are usually more concise and calm colors and solid colors, without a bright and flashy pattern, unless, of course, the man is a fan of extravagant taste.
Women's products can be more vibrant, glamorous, delicate, with an abundance of jewelry, rhinestones and applications.
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 likes will not suit a mature woman over 60. It is important to always consider the age category of the gift holder. A variety of modern gadgets can be presented to young men and women as a present, and for elderly people practical and useful gifts will be appropriate, for example, household appliances or medical devices to improve health and fitness, a variety of massagers, hearing aids.
Representatives of the middle age category 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 affects the choice of a gift for him. Sociable people who love an active lifestyle will like a gift with a sports bias, for example, a subscription to visit yoga, Pilates or a fitness center. For more reserved and calm natures who prefer a quiet home lifestyle, you can give some interesting book or a set for creativity or decorative art. Depending on a person’s hobby and hobbies, one can judge the most appropriate gifts for him.
As a gift to the athlete, any sports equipment and components that are used in his hobby, for example, a punching bag, gloves, a soccer ball or a tennis racket, will be appropriate. A girl who loves fitness will be delighted with the brand new suit for classes in the gym.
Profession
The profession always leaves its mark on a person’s lifestyle. Lawyers, economists, teachers, doctors, military personnel - gifts for representatives of all these professions can be intertwined with their field of activity. This can be a variety of souvenirs and practical gifts that can be used in their work field.
Office staff who spend a lot of time at the computer can be given a massager for a computer chair, stationery or small office equipment.
We take into account the event and topics
The choice of a gift largely depends on the holiday for which it is purchased: for a birthday or anniversary, a wedding or christening, New Year or Christmas, March 8 or February 23. And also an important aspect is who exactly needs to give a gift: to a loved one or colleague, 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 are in distant family ties, and it will be appropriate to give some more personal gift for close relatives and friends.
For example, a sister or a beloved girl can safely present as a presentation a set of beautiful underwear, and a colleague - an organizer for stationery or a pen in a beautiful package. You can choose perfume for your beloved man or father, and a large plant for decorating your office can be chosen for your boss.
When choosing a gift, it is extremely important to observe subordination in order to avoid bad manners or funny situations. Women, among other things, are usually given 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 to do if you do not know what to give?
If you didn’t choose a gift, you can use some useful tips. For example, you can ask a 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 does not need anything or he himself does not know what he wants. In this case, a gift certificate for a certain amount can be presented to him as a present.
A certificate can be purchased for a wide variety of goods and services, for example, visiting a spa, gym, purchasing shoes, clothes, cosmetics, perfumes, haberdashery, jewelry and much, 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 capabilities and income level.
If you decide to present money as a gift, then you can somehow beautifully and unusually present them so that the holder of the monetary gift feels your reverent attitude. In this case, the origami technique comes to the rescue, thanks to which you can originally fold the bill using certain schemes for origami from money - manigami.
What gifts should be treated with caution?
There are gifts that a person can perceive with resentment or misunderstanding, namely:
- don’t give scales for measuring body weight to a person with extra pounds; he can hold a grudge by receiving such a present;
- a gift in the form of a gift certificate for a parachute jump to a person who is afraid of heights or is not a fan of active and extreme sports will be inappropriate; he will simply refuse such an offer or give it to someone else;
- a subscription to a fitness room or yoga 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 aloud voiced their desire to go to regular sports, or by prior agreement in a soft and delicate form so as not to offend a person;
- special attention should be paid to comic gifts with jokes; surprises and presentations of this kind are appropriate only if you have already developed 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 to a person, and not the amount you spent on purchasing a particular presentation.
Make pleasant surprises for your close ones, pay attention to people you love, and they will certainly appreciate your care, reverent attitude and will certainly reciprocate.
