subject: Easy Gift Ideas You Won't Be Embarrassed To Give [print this page] Gift giving can be an emotionally draining experience for many people. People are often confronted with their own insecurities and can become immobilized with fear when trying to decide what to get a loved one or even a friend.
This fear stems from our own need to feel accepted and to feel as though we know what it is the intended recipient wants. Gift giving and gift exchanges are some of the most formal representations of two peoples relationship and connection.
The Gift you give someone represents the value you place on that relationship. We are not talking about monetary value. I have seen many expensive gifts that were bought out of convenience or when you know gift buying is a choir for the giver.
Have you ever received a gift card and felt a sense of disappointment that the person did not make more of an effort to find something that they think you would like? That is exactly the point worth taking away from this article.
We say this over and over but the simplest way to make the Gift Buying experience easy on yourself is through planning.
We break the planning down into three phases to make it as easy as possible for others to enjoy carefree gift giving. Give yourself at least several weeks lead time to follow these easy steps.
1. Profiling - We recommend profiling the recipient. What do they do on their free time? What did you talk about the last time you had a conversation with them? Do they have a hobby? Do they spend time outdoors?
2. Planning - Spend time with the person several weeks before the Birthday or gift occasion to do some information gathering. What needs or wants do they express? The best gifts come from subtle hints. They will know you care no matter how little you spend when the gift comes from being attentive to them and what it is they want. Remember to write it down to make it happen!
3. Carry out - We recommend shopping online. Shopping online gives you the opportunity to both price shop and get reviews from others who have bought and used the same product. Shopping online is much easier than and less expensive than going to your local mall where they pay top dollar for the retail space and salespeople's commission. The buy. Once you know what they want just go for it!
As a special touch we like to explain why we got the person the gift in the greeting card we give with our gifts. This way they know how much they mean to us and it is a confirmation our love and friendship. If you follow this guide Gift giving should be as easy to give as it is to receive. You will also quickly learn to appreciate the people in your lives because you will realize how important and special those relationships
