Everytime I wanna gift any of my loved ones, I undergo a trauma in choosing an apt one!
On the onset of the occassion, I start thinking on the goal of the gift - whether it is utility value or cuteness or fashionable or price tag and after some days, settle on nothing & leave it to the item selection process!
Well, here are few Dos & Dont's I came up with :
1. Basically, the gift should be of some use to the person being gifted (Exceptions are highly socialising gifts during weddings of not-soclose ones), in addition to expressing love.
2. The item should not be a duplicate to the person receiving it & definitely not redundant.
3. The gift should have some element of novelty to it - how many times will u gift a wallet to ur bro'?
4. The gift should not be a very common daily-use product. Thou' my mom loves milkshake, its not a good idea to gift her Strawberry Syrup.
5. Choose if you want the budget to be fixed or the gift idea
6. Plan early - esp, in items that have to be shipped or ordered
7. When gifting personal things like clothes or shoes, go for a gift hamper instead!
8. Know the readers' interests before settling for books - C&H maynot be the best for all, thou' you might vouch for it.
9. Above all, add a personal touch to the gift - with a sign or sticker etc
10. DO give it on time !
