Giving gifts is a way of showing love or thanks, and helps to build friendship. With a little planning, your gifts will be remembered for years.
36 Put a reminder in your diary one or two weeks before the occasion so that you can start doing your shopping. If your receivers live very far away and you need to mail the gift, then advanced planning is even more important. It will make sure that your gift gets to them on time.
Don't give based on what others give you. We often hear people say " She's spending $ 100 on me, so I should spend $ 100 on her". 37 Your gifts should be based on what is on your heart for your receivers. Don't worry about 'whether your receivers are going to give you something back or how much they are spending on your gifts.
Respect your budget. 38 Gifts given with sincerity are appreciated even more than expensive items. By planning how much you need to spend on your gifts for others and assigning a dollar amount to each desired gift on your list, you'll be better prepared to shop within your budget.
Be aware of wrappings. 39 . A tastefully wrapped gift with materials that can be reused or recycled shows your caring for the environment.
Present your gift with respect. 40 . And when you do, present your gift by holding with both your hands as though you were holding it on a silver platter.
A. The cost of your gift will not be the main factor in its success.
B. This thinking completely ruins the value of giving gifts to each other.
C. Beautiful gifts don't necessarily need to rely on ribbons or boxes.
D. This is adopted from Asian culture to show respect and care.
E. Keep a schedule of the special dates.
F. You shouldn't buy gifts which are out of your budget.
G. The best way to present a gift is always presenting it in person.
