Gift ideas: how to choose the best gift

Choosing a gift is not an easy task. The most popular Google searches related to gifts always start with "Gift idea (for)...". In this article, we'll explore how to make this process easier and make gift-giving a heartwarming activity.

How to learn to choose a good gift?

1. Give what they asked for

Numerous scientific studies have proven that a desired gift is received more positively than a surprise. So don't go over your head trying to give something very original if the person just asked for a new wallet (just don't forget to put an extra Euro in it to dispel superstitions).

You can turn such a gift into an original one through packaging, a greeting or an additional detail that will add charm and sensuality to the gift. Again using the wallet example, this could include a photo or money from the country the recipient dreams of traveling to.

2. Create a Gift Memo
Write down the names of people important to you in a place convenient for you (eg in a notebook, Notes app, special document) and whenever an idea for a gift comes up or they mention something, write it down immediately. This not only greatly simplifies the search for gifts, but also shows that the person is important to you and that you listen to their wishes.

3. Be Open to Ideas

Watch gift-giving scenes in movies (there are more than you can think of), look for ideas in travel, museums, or just improvise. We give gifts to strengthen the bond between us and to create an emotion. This is an important enough goal that should lie in your subconscious.


Some examples of what this might look like:

  • You are traveling in Italy and you find authentic sauces, spices and specially packaged pasta in a store. This would make a great gift for a friend who loves to cook and whose birthday is next month;
  • You are invited to your manager's birthday, but you don't know his hobbies. Museum shops often have unique gifts that are hard to find elsewhere.
  • You go for a walk with your mother and she falls in love with the cashmere scarf she saw in the window - put it on your mother's gift list. As Christmas approaches, you already know what to make her happy.
