5 Gift Giving Mistakes to Avoid by:Samantha Forest
It has been customary to give gifts
It has been customary to give gifts. These are given during birthdays and weddings, exchanged during Christmas and anniversaries, or for any other reason anyone can think of. With the numerous times one has given a gift Philippines, it's a sure thing that mistakes have been committed every now and then. Of course, practice makes perfect so the more you practice gift-giving the more adept at it you will be. However, knowledge is also power even if you're inexperienced so read on to avoid some mistakes often committed when giving a gift Philippines.
* Return policy. It's easy to make mistakes when buying something for another person. With clothes alone, you could get the wrong size, wrong style, wrong color, and many other wrongs that can be done. Before buying any gift Philippines, check the store's return policy. It's great if the store accepts returns but check also for the specific time period they will accept any returns and other things they might require like the receipt, price tag, or original packaging. Make sure that the recipient of your gift could return the item if ever or have it exchanged. If not, be prepared to waste the amount that you paid for the item if it will not be used by the person you will be sending the gift to.
* Good Intentions Gifts. As much as possible, avoid gifts that unconsciously target a specific short-coming. Although the gift might be filled with good intentions, it could ignite deep resentments. Some examples of gifts like these are success books to someone who is unemployed, nicotine patches to a chain smoker, or exercise tapes to someone who is overweight.
* Expert/Hobby Items. Some people make the mistakes of basketball paraphernalia to an avid basketball fan/player or a book on photography to a photo-enthusiast. Unless you know exactly what items they have at home, chances are they already have it they have it as a hobby or they are experts on it.
* Warranty. When giving an electronic item or appliance, make sure that the item has a warranty. Most of the time these things are expensive and you wouldn't want your money wasted if the item breaks down after a month of use.
* Pet Peeves. Sometimes you get unlucky and happen to gift someone with his or her pet peeve. It could be as simple as giving fun underwear to someone who hates them or perfume to someone who does not wear them (or worse, allergic to them). When buying a gift for someone, it's wise to be on the safe side by not experimenting or better yet, ask the person what he or she wants!
