It 'happened to us all. There is a Christmas party, or a new family in the neighborhood, or maybe we meet our family signifigant for the first time. You know you should bring a gift, but what to wear for someone who know nothing or very little? You do not want to risk emberassing yourself with a gift that is bland, but do not know the recipient likes or dislikes. This article describes my thought process when I am put in this situation. It is hoped that the suggestions presented here will help you as well!
Opportunity is always a gift. If this is the holiday season, then you should be able to find gift packs everything from fruit and wine, in Cologne and bath products. However you should know the recipient to some extent before presenting this type of gift. What if the alien does not drink alcohol or are allergic to some frangrance?
No matter what the reason for a gift or who the beneficiary is, we are all able to put
We are in the position of another person to a certain extent. Although we do not know much about
the person, we know some things. Let's go identify them.
1. This person is male or female.
2. We know where we met or will meet this person.
3. This person receives a gift from us.
Now we can put the shoes there for a few minutes. Suppose I am buying a gift for a lady who just moved into my neighborhood. I know that I am a girl who receives a gift from a neighbor I have never met, probably on my door. Now I know I need a gift
a format that is easy to carry and hold, while in a doorway. I need a gift that is not
too specific. I need a gift that I would if I was under the stress of a new
move.
Now brainstorm with what we know.
1. An assortment of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and covers a wide variety of tastes. Would
be easily managed by standing in a doorway. It informs the recipient that you know
worked very hard and could use a break.
2. An address book and the pen would be useful to anyone entering a new district. This
also light enough to not be an obstacle. I could throw in a list of places offering restraunts
to add a personal touch and eliminate the need for her to cook a meal!
3. An assortment of candles gift would help set my destination for a night of much needed relaxation. Again it is easy to handle in the doorway. After the excitement of moving in settles down, would be a nice decorative addition to his new home.
This technique can be used under any circumstances. If you are put in these types of
situations often you get to practice this skill and become a master. Why not start now
and of buying aquantances casual for no particular reason. Then it will be ready when pressure
is on, and one could make a lasting friendship!
