How to Pick the Perfect Gift
It’s easy to get overwhelmed at the idea of finding the elusive “perfect gift” for that special someone, but it’s less anxiety-inducing when you remember these key pieces of advice:
1. It really is the thought that counts. It’s a cliche for a reason. There’s more to your relationship with another person than the Christmas or anniversary present you give them. So put some thought and energy into it, but remember: what you get for them doesn’t define you, them, or the bond you share.
2. Focus on experiences over material goods. Material gifts can be super thoughtful and appreciated, especially if you know for sure the recipient is going to love what you get them. But experiential gifts—a trip to the zoo, a night on the town, a vacation—are often more memorable and more meaningful, especially if you’re there with them. So next time you’re unsure what to give the person who has everything, ask yourself: What’s something we could enjoy together?
3. Don’t be afraid to ask them what they want! It’s easy to feel like we have to surprise our loved ones with the perfect gift, but some recipients aren’t very communicative about what they might want or need—and some gift-givers aren’t great at picking up on subtle hints! When in doubt, broach the subject with your loved one. They may appreciate you asking, because it signifies you’re thinking about them and making an effort to get them something they’ll love.
4. Try not to stress about the cost. There’s no point in going into debt just to give a loved one an expensive present (and they probably wouldn’t want you to!). Instead, focus on the sentiment behind the gift. What could you give them that’s meaningful to them or representative of your relationship? Odds are, you can find something that won’t break the bank—and they’ll likely appreciate it even more than something that does.
