subject: Gift Exchange - The Expensive, The Cheap And The Smart [print this page] Is Gifting really important in life? Why do people spend so much money on cards and gifts for anyone? What is wrong in wishing someone verbally, does it always have to be expensive ? If you have wrestled with these questions here's my take. Gifts are a sentimental token, practical and sometimes just fun that we gift others keeping in mind what they would really like or really want.
It is also a way to spread good cheer around. On receiving a gift the recipient most often feels happy and cherished and cared for. This is true even in relationships that are going through a rough patch. A small surprise gift sometimes can work more effectively than a big bash, so it doesn't have to be expensive all the time. Most of us fall into three broad categories when it comes to gifting:
1. You buy what you like to gift others.
2. You buy what you like and you assume that others will like it too. (seems to be the same as #1)
3. You actually know what others want and you buy according to their needs.
With that said you can decide what category you belong to. The underlying point to any fruitful and satisfactory gift exchange is getting a gift that has to really suit the person you are gifting. So keeping in mind what they like or dislike or what kind of present you bought for them last year and the year before that is something that can help in buying a perfect gift. There are numerous occasions in our lives when we find it hard to come up with the perfect gift.
