Giving gifts to other people is common in our life, but sometimes it is difficult to give right gifts. How do we choose the right one? Let me tell you.
Will you always think a lot about how much you spend on a gift? But spending more does not always mean a good gift. In fact, most people don't care about the price of the gift.
Sometimes we often shop for something special as gifts, but this may lead us to miss the things that people really want and need. It may make us buy them an improper(不合适的) gift. Don't forget about some normal things because they can also be good gifts.
To shop better, a teacher at the University of British Columbia in Canada suggests starting with something you are both interested in. A study has also shown that gifts you both like can bring a close relationship, such as concert tickets or a cooking class.
Asking people what they want is a useful way to choose a right gift. A study shows that people are happier for gifts they ask for than ones they don't need. It seems that the easiest way to make a person happy with a gift is asking them what they want.
A. Don't forget normal things. B. Ask them what they want. C. Buy gifts based on shared interests. D. Don't care too much about the price. E. Remember to discuss with other people. |
