How To Be A Good Gift Giver: Top Tips For Giving Gifts
Honour Their Heritage
Everyone has a story. Whether it is the tale of their family emigrating from the old country due to hardships or a proud family cultural history, you can honour their heritage by selecting unique gifts that pay a nod to what came before.
To illustrate, a Celtic cross necklace is the perfect gift for someone with a strong Irish heritage or for the person who lives there now. It displays their upscale taste and style for the world to see. Your recipient will think of you and their beloved family history every day when they clasp this beautiful necklace.
Pay Attention Throughout The Year
As you talk, text, and spend time with your friends and family throughout the year, pay attention to what they say. Hearing their words and understanding their respective interests will pay dividends when the time comes to purchase a gift.
Create a special note on your smartphone and enter a quick word or two, or add a link if they have shared something on social media.
Listen to their latest hobbies or excitement about an upcoming trip to help curate a present. If they are taking oil painting classes, a book on the new masters and a set of high-quality paintbrushes is sure to delight them. Or, buy them that jumper they raved about on your last shopping trip together.
Paying attention will be as much of a gift as the item itself.
Give Something Useful, But Upgraded
Perhaps your giftee is a burgeoning food aficionado. If they enjoy creating culinary delights in their kitchen but lack some essential tools, you may have found the right gift for them.
Having or wanting an electric mixer, for example, is one thing. Owning a high-end electric stand mixer is quite another.
Look at the latest on-trend and time-tested brands to vet for quality. They will be overjoyed when they open such a thoughtful and generous gift.
The same thought applies to something like footwear. Everyone needs a good, sturdy pair of boots to get them through the cold season. But owning a posh pair of name-brand boots makes trekking about in the cold all the better.
Take a peek at your loved one’s shoe size in a few different shoe types, especially in the type you intend to purchase for them, in this case – boots. Always check on the return policy and include a gift receipt, just in case.
Presentation Is Everything
How you present your gift, regardless of whether it is an extravagant and large item or something small and tasteful, will have an impact.
Watch this short video to learn a creative and eye-catching way to wrap a gift.
Giving a thoughtful gift is just as meaningful as receiving one. Become a masterful gift giver by using these strategies to create a special experience and memory that will last long after the package is opened.
