"Darling, I LOVE IT! Its a perfect gift!" How
often do we actually hear those words when we give a gift? Not often
enough? Too right! The same goes when you receive a gift. How often do
you say those words? You really want to love the nightgown that you have
just unwrapped on your birthday morning, but it's hardly going to make
you gush and swoon with excitement is it? So what is the perfect gift?
Naturally
there is no such thing as the perfect gift. Getting it right depends on
numerous factors. Not every person will be like your teenage son who
hints two months in advance about the newest video game that he MUST
have! We all want to be experts at giving gifts. At the "eokloinefll",
tiffany jewelry outlet,
very least, we want to hit the 马克 once in a while!
The easiest
place to start is to understand the differences in the way men and women
gift shop for each other. Here is a selection of interesting facts that
you may not know:
1. Women give Christmas gifts to more people
than do men. The average difference is 12.5 versus 8.
2. Women
devote more time to selecting the appropriate gift, 2.4 hours per
recipient versus 2.1 hours for male gift shoppers.
3. Women are
more successful in finding desired gifts. 10 per cent of women's gifts
are returned to the shop, as opposed to 16 per cent for gifts given by
men.
4. Speed - men move , cheap tiffany jewelry,
faster down the aisle and spend less time looking.
5. Lists - in
superets men rely on them less and make more impulse purchases. 6.
Decisions - when a man has something he wants he buys it. If a man
takes an item of clothing into a changing room he is more than twice as
likely to purchase it as a woman.
7. Price - most people check
price tags, but men are less likely to do so than women.
8. Men
also seem to take it , Tiffany
Rings, as a point of pride that price does not worry them and
they are much more likely to be persuaded to take a more expensive item.
9. When a man and a woman shop together the man almost always
insists on paying.
10. According to observations in a home wares
chain store - when a woman shops with another woman - average time in
store eight minutes - when she shops with children - seven minutes -
when she shops alone - five minutes- when she shops with a man - 4.5
minutes. Yet women insist on asking men to go out shopping with them.
Well
we really are from different planets are we? Shopping for a gift should
not be treated as a chore. It can be an enjoyable experience if you
plan in advance. Here are a few points to consider before you hit the
stores:
* Has the recipient of the gift mentioned anything in the
last few weeks or months about what they want. It could be anything,
not necessarily meant as a hint. You could be walking past a store with a
friend when she stops and mentions how gorgeous those pair , Tiffany
Accessories, of shoes are and she wishes she could afford them.
Bingo! If she still hasn't invested in them by the time her birthday
comes along, then there is your perfect gift. (Only if you can afford it
of course)
* What are the recipients interests? If he is a
sports fan, then a couple of tickets to the next big game wouldn't go
amiss. If he is a fan of a particular music band, then why not get him a
, Tiffany
Bracelet, personalized t-shirt with the band on it?
*
Women love gifts that show commitment to a relationship. That does not
mean go out and buy her a vacuum cleaner. If you are not quite ready to
propose, then a nice piece of jewellery will guarantee to make her putty
in your hands.
* Men like practical gifts. Women have a habit
of buying for a partner what they would like to receive themselves.
Little keepsakes, snow globes, teddies etc are for giving to your
girlfriend on her birthday. Men will appreciate receiving a teddy bear
with 'I love you' on it's little t-shirt but they really do not know
what to do with it after the occasion is , Tiffany
Charms, over. Its quite likely
that poor little teddy will
be relegated to the bunch of stuff gathering dust in his garage. Now if
you bought him some power tools, they are certainly less romantic, but
they have a use and to a man, that is more important.
* People
enjoy receiving gifts that are more expensive than the giver can afford.
It's strange but true. When we receive a gift from a loved one that
seems or is really expensive, it makes us feel cherished. An expensive
gift is on the same level as a well though out cheaper gift. So if you
are unable to invest time in finding a perfect gift, then be prepared to
break out the plastic.
