Hello everyone,
GIFT- which is probably the'only' thing that can give immense amount of hapinness and satisfaction to the person who's getting it and equally to the person who is giving it.gifts serve as a means to strengthen bonds, they act as a token of love and appreciation, they act as a mark for making an event immortal and special. but, when it comes to selecting these gifts for our loved ones, though some people are lucky enough to have born with the knack to select good n' apt gifts, others may simply find it difficult to find the ideal gift for their loved ones. so, for the peple belonging to the latter category, here's my bitta advice, mysmall n' li'l gift for them. so, read on.
GIFTS FOR FAMILY:- while gifting something to your family members, I don't think choice should be such a big prob. come on, ya very well know how your teenage sis yearns for the latest fashion accessory or how badly your big bro needs a good deo, isn' it! the main thing to be considered while gifting something to your family is probably the utility- the usefulnaess of the product. so, keep all those fancy showpieces kinda stuffs away and give your relatives something that they really want.
family is always a safe choice as far as giving gifts are concerned, even if you don't have a goodie budget, don't ya worry, your family members are going to love it even if you give them a small handmade stuff, 'cuz it's the feeling that matters, rite.infact handmade stuffs can be a real good option to gift to your mum, dad, or your grandparents, since they're the one's who will really appreciate the fact that you took out time for them. that is what's important for them, ya know.
however, on the whole, you can try to get a gift that's like suitable for all your family members, probably, try to arrange a small trip or something, or may be gift your family a new vcd player to enjoy some of the real'parivaar-khaandaan' drama type barjatiya flicks, provided you don't get MPKDH by mistake!
GIFTS FOR YOUR PALZ:-hmmm.your friends., the most important people in terms of gifts are concerned. well, there's a bit of a difference here, too. I mean, if you wanna gift something to your'just-good-friends', then, ya gotta be really specific'bout what to choose. I mean where as your'best palz' are your punching bags n''wid whom you can play any gags, these casual friends need attention. you gotta really know what they like n' what they prefer and then only zero on giving something.few safe choices for this category are -games cd's, audio cd's, perfumes n' deos, photoframes, soft toys, or anything which your'friends' would like. for your best pals, you don't need to worry much, you can always give them a funny, wacko n' weird mask or may be even a senti-menti quotation thing, they are sure to like it. after all, they're your best friends, rite.
GIFTS FOR SPECIAL OCCASSIONS:- well, with soo many days in a year and sooo many festivals n' specaial days, right from valentine's day, to teacher's day to. neighbour's dog's day, there seems to be a festivity galore in the world, and selecting gifts for those special occassions, is no big deal, trust me.gift something related to the festival. something that shows the imporatance of these festivities, like a simple diyaa n' laxmi-ganesh idolson diwaali, to a box of mithais which is a safe choice for all the occassions.just get into the spirit of things, n' dedo koi accha sa gift.
CONCLUSION:- so, this was my bit of advice. but, the conclusion is this that when you really want to gift something to your family or friend, don't keep waiting for a reason or occassion, go ahead n' gift. remember that it isn't the cost or brand that matters while gifting, it's just your feelings, your emotions that matter. get to know about the choices of your dear ones and then, just take your pick. a gift is nothing but a token of your love and affection for your people, so, go ahead and get a gud one for the's ho matter.the response, you'll get to notice in the'spark' in your loved one's eyes. that'll be yor gift then, isn't it.:-)
