Gift Giving Etiquette
Picking the Perfect Gift
How many times have you struggled with choosing an appropriate gift? Follow these simple gift giving etiquette rules to help guide your process. As they always say, it is the thought that counts. So the first step with gift giving is to think.
If you are like me, I used to dread the gift giving decision. How am I suppose to know what this person wants? My wife always picked out the perfect gift for me, but the other way around? Always a challenge! There is the "stupid husband technique", you know where you go into a lady's clothing store with your list of sizes and bang around a little until, thankfully, a sales person comes over to offer help. From there, you turn over your list, and viola!, your shopping is done ... you have your gifts that will be "just perfect" (so you think) and you just made the sales lady's season.
Okay so not really ideal, so see below for a more practical way of picking out the perfect gift for a number of different occasions.
Appropriate gift etiquette provides you a simple two step process for deciding on the right level of gifting. What value, how to know you made the right choose, and other simple clues provided to you by the gift-ee to help you with the decision. There is nothing better than that excited reaction when the person receiving the gift opens your perfect present.
