Gifting is not just about giving away presents. It is a way of showing appreciation and thoughtfulness to people. Having the perfect gifts should always be accompanied by the right words or expressions.
Examples:
This is especially made for you.
A perfect gift for a lovely couple.
I hope my sincerity reaches you through this gift.
In showing gratitude, use words that sound sincere and appreciative. Just keep in mind the time and money spent by the person just to give you something.
Examples:
I didn’t see it coming but I really appreciate your kindness.
Thank you! This really made my day.
I admire your thoughtfulness. Thank you very much.
Giving a surprise gift is sweet. But giving the wrong one is a nightmare. You can try to do research beforehand. Ask the people around you or base it on your knowledge about the person or the occasion. Remember every mall or shops have sales personnel. You can always ask them; soliciting advice won’t cost you any.
Examples:
What gadget does she want to have?
Which of the two sets of jewelry will she prefer?
What gift will match the occasion?
When giving gifts, don’t focus on how expensive the thing is. Price means nothing. Try to give because you want to. You will be remembered by your thoughtfulness, not by the price tag.
PS: Culture will also be a factor. Be mindful of the colors you choose and use (gift wraps, gift itself)
