HOW TO CHOOSE A GIFT THAT WILL PLEASE

Whether for friends or family, choosing and offering a gift is not always easy.

Especially if it is the birthday of your partner.

You want to surprise without disappointing and that's where it gets complicated. Offering is a pleasure, choosing is stress.

What should be considered in his choice?

This is what we are going to see now.

The difference of tastes

We say we must choose a gift as if it were for us. I agree to a certain extent because it's a double-edged choice.

We might tend to offer something we would like to be offered. And that's often the mistake. Because it may not please the elected.

The purpose of a gift is to please the person who will receive it first. And since we all have different tastes, we should not take our tastes into consideration but that of the other.

Too many people forget it.

Surety or surprise?

He dreams of the latest Xbox. She dreams of this pretty blue dress. (Yes, I know, it's a bit cliché ...). These are safe values ​​because you know exactly what to buy and you will not disappoint.

On the other hand, you will not be surprised. Unless you use subtle techniques to find out what interests the person who will receive the gift, well in advance and you surprise him with the gift.

Men: know that women are good (yes, that's true!) In this kind of exercise. When they walk a few days before their birthday with you, they know how to show, subtly and with elegance, the gift they would like to be offered.

Be attentive, do not miss the opportunity to make an expected gift but placed under the effect of surprise: "oh I really did not expect it, that's exactly what I wanted, thank you darling, you're the best boyfriend, blah blah blah. " Mission accomplished !

Women: the man is basic (you had noticed it anyway ...). He is not subtle like you. So if he tells you he likes X, do not give him Y to surprise him. In short, do not be zealous, do not be original and be satisfied with a good value 😉

If you do not have any ideas, know that the man likes above all things useful in the following areas: sex, alcohol, games and technology (when I told you it was simple ...).

Examples of gifts

Why not offer classes as a gift? We do not expect it and that can please the person to whom it is offered if it is a desire or passion.

For example, photo classes, painting, drawing, music, etc ... depending on what interests your partner.

Here is an example of a music course site (guitar, piano, etc ...), singing and even DJ: I-Music School .

More original but useful: you could also offer language classes if you know that the person you are giving a gift would like to progress in this area.

For nice and light online English courses, I recommend  Gymglish  that I used for 1 year while I was at university.

Do you have any ideas?

If it's a gift for your sweetheart or girlfriend, I recommend you read the article Valentine's Day gift idea because you will find plenty of ideas that will also serve you if it's the birthday of your darling or your girlfriend.

A little humor ... examples of gifts

A little humor ... Let's sweep now some types of gifts:

The fake gift: pans ("because we needed it", says the man)

The gift of one who has no ideas (or who does not want to be pissed off): the Smartbox

The gift of the distant family: table sets of the last century

The reason for breaking a gift for a man: the wrong console ("oh no ... not a PS4, I wanted an Xbox!")

The reason for breaking a gift for a woman: a balance or a subscription at Body Minute ("it's really useful," says the man)

The gift that all women dream of: a weekend in Venice

The gift of which all men dream: a night with Scarlett Johansson (presently not available)

Conclusion

Choosing a good gift is not given to everyone. We want to please and we want to surprise, which is sometimes antithetical.

Some people (including me) prefer to choose their gift rather than having a surprise gift that they do not like. My main advice is to adapt to the type of person who will receive this gift.

Is it a person who prefers to choose his gift? Is it a person who likes to be surprised? Does he love flashy gifts or simple things.

If you are not good at gifts, you probably have someone around you who is familiar with them or who knows the type of gifts that will please the recipient. Call him for some leads.
