What you give someone for a present can make them remember you or dislike you forever! These tips will help you with ideas for the perfect present.

Gift

Don't show-off: Buying a superexpensive present to demonstrate your purchasing power is vulgar and boorish. Gifts are meant to express love and appreciation. Also be occasion-appropriate. Don't, for example, give gold earrings for a friend's anniversary, even if you can afford it. Appropriate (safe if somewhat dull) presents include chocolates, wine or flowers for a dinner party; a coupon to buy books/DVDs/clothes for a birthday; a DVD player for a niece's wedding; and watches for your parent's 50th anniversary. But remember, inexpensive does not mean poor quality. So whatever you buy, whether it is flowers or chocolates, do your research, buy the best you can.

Make it personal: Your thoughtfulness is what makes the difference between a good present and a great one. If you want your surprise to be perfect, invest a little time to figure out what the person will really enjoy. It may not always be something the person requires; it is better to gift something he or she wants but does not really need - gifts are, after all, a matter of indulgence. So gifting your parents a luxury weekend works better than yet another shawl or saree.

Put in a little effort: It's a good idea to make a gift - a batch of cookies nicely packaged, for instance - but be careful to know that this will be appreciated from the heart - or your efforts will go waste. Accept Graciously: If you give a gift, chances are you will get one in return, too. Accept gifts gracefully - someone's taken the trouble to bring you something nice. Don't be all hoity-toity and refuse to accept friendly offerings. It's rather rude and churlish to spurn a gift, or to rebuke a person (even if they are your son, daughter or a close friend) for "wasting money" on you.

Put in a note - say something that you appreciate in the person. Make sure you do not write something generic or worse, an untruth. Keep it simple, straightforward and real. This adds a personal touch to the gift and makes the person feel good, that you took out time to think of her and what she brings to your life.
