The Art of Gift Giving
Giving of gift has been a customary tradition in our society. Beneath that 'customs' lies an important message for the ones receiving the gift which is appreciation. We give gifts for us to show how much we value them and appreciate all the good things they have done for us. Some would think that giving of gift is a part of our societal role.
We give gifts because we think we're supposed to. Others would view it as generosity, reward for a special favor or even bribery. People would buy presents for their loved ones especially during important occasions such as anniversaries, Christmas and birthdays. Some would prefer to buy cheaper items as tokens but others would get those expensive one. Either it is cheap or expensive, it is always appreciated by the one who receives it.
For Corporate gatherings, gifts items which are commonly seen are table planner, dress, bags, flash drives or pens which has an engraved seal of the gathering attended. When it comes to Birthday parties, we see stuff toys given both to young ones and the not-so-young. We could see during anniversaries and weddings, gift items such as jewelries and housewares.
Here are some tips on how you can make your gift more appreciated:
* Consider your financial capacity. It is more wise to choose items which you see as something cheap even if you know you have the capacity to buy those expensive one. Also, you don't have to bring it to the gift wrapping station. Putting your gift in a paper bag is enough. Though it is said that giving of gift is a necessity, you should also think that their are other 'necessities' where your resources are needed.
* Make it simple. It is a common misconception for us that if we give lavish gifts, we are more appreciated. Well, that's not true. Your gift would be highly appreciated if they see that you gave it with a happy thought.
* Be serious in giving gifts. There is a great feeling of happiness when you see the recipient wear a happy smile after unwrapping the present you have keenly looked for them. When they are in state of awe, they realize how much they have contributed for you to grow as a person, in return, you feel that warm sensation in your being overflowing with joy because you know how that you have created a little happiness to the recipient.
* Choose gift items wisely. Most commonly, people would choose the favorite items of their recipients such as clothing, bags, wallets, shoes and the like. They would choose those items which has a famous brand or elegant to look at. You don't need to do this. Giving wood picture frames with photos featuring your most captured moments inside is enough to melt the heart of your recipient. Or, you can have vintage picture frame given to your parents. To make it more unique, you have your frames repainted making its original structure remain.
You should always remember that it is not only through giving gifts that you can show your appreciation. Initiating simple tasks of generosity is enough to be considered as a priceless gift.
