Its December , and everyone is in Christmas spirits. Its said this is a season of giving and forgiving… That rhymes!
Whenever it comes to gifting, people always play safe, by giving cash. In weddings, naming ceremonies, House warming etc.
Why bother to go to a gift shop and spend time? I don’t know what they like! What if they don’t like what I gift? Its better to give cash, let them buy whatever they like!
But even if you just know the person, you can gauge what kind of a gift would suit them. There are some gifts with which you can never go wrong.
I believe, when you gift someone an article, its shows that you care a lot for them, and about their choices. I sincerely make an effort to take time and select the gift. Also a gift must signify the occasion. I have seen many instances where a person wants to show how much was spent on the gift. If you really value the person whom you are gifting, the value of the gift shouldn’t matter, or so I think. A gift is a gift, big , small, cheap, expensive…
Also please ensure you are gifting something, which will not be gifted again! Yes, there are people who rather intelligently re-use the gifts. “ oh yeah, I did not like the color, may be i should give this!”
The reason for me writing this post was simple, was not able to think a suitable gift…for a kid :( She is 6 yrs , my neighbor, I have attended all the birthday parties from past 3 yrs. So I have gifted a lot many things. And this time iam out of ideas. A teddy bear, a building model set, a cute frock…what do I gift now? I turned to my favorite, Google, but am not happy with the options.
There is yet another 3 yr and a 2 yr old, to whom I need to buy gifts..
As a give away, I always used to gift drawing books, coz that’s what kids love doing..Now I am thinking, I should’ve saved that idea for this..
To my friends who are into reading , its always books, ensuring I keep track of the books they are reading. I don’t want to gift them a spare..
To my girlfriends, its usually accessories , good luck charm, perfume, a bouquet of their choice of flowers, Wind chimes
To my friends who are guys, its Formal Shirts, T Shirts (without Quotes), watches, electronic accessories / gadgets
To my friends who are getting married, it varies from a photo frame , a wall clock, a show piece, a dinner set, Juice glasses, electric blender, lamp shade..
But the best gift that you can ever gift somebody is “ Your Time” , coz its gonna stay forever, and treasured and cherished.
So this Christmas, Spend sometime with you loved ones…
