Christmas is coming! 'Tis the season for giving and receiving! Men and women and children alike will be pondering on the presents they will receive this year. As we all know, both the opposite sex have different tastes for different stuffs. Men will want cool gadgets, women will thirst for gorgeous accessories, most of all, children will want awesome toys!
It's best when you really know what gift to give to that special someone in your heart. And though this blog
is about techs and stuff, I would like to share a few thoughts of mine on what to do when you're thinking of buying a Christmas present this year.
- Think about his or her interests. It's a common idea, but we must never forget it. Imagine a die-hard Korean fan who likes all the entertainment on dancing and soap shows, like SNSD, Girls Generation, Nickhun, Lie Game, Winter Sonata... (okay, I'm outdated on Korean stuff, forgive me). So, it wouldn't fit the genre at all if you buy him or her a Rock & Roll Song Collection of Gene Simmons or a poster of BTR. Think about that.
- Useful or decorative? You buy a book for that friend of yours, because you'll know he or she needs it. Like for example, you know his a messy guy (I know I am), so you buy a book entitled 'Managing Mess For Dummies'. Make sure you know it won't offend him though. You can even buy cabinets for him to store his stuffs. And others just like to fill their space with nice stuff, like fancy lamps or fan posters on their walls. Another example would be kids. Kids like dinosaurs (well, some do, I still do actually). So from that idea, you choose whether to buy a book that tells all the wonders about dinosaurs, or buy a collectible item like a dinosaur model of a Velociraptor for the kids to decorate their tables!
- On budget? How much are you willing to spend on your gifts? Is it too much? Or are you just being a cheapskate? Find that out before going out for gifts, or you'll end up using your credit card.For me, I would prefer that it is priced at no more that 50$, it's a reasonable range to me. Having to buy an expensive gift doesn't always mean you show a bigger affection for that person. Money can't buy love yo. So be reasonable with the prices of the gifts.
- It's the thought that counts. No matter what gifts you buy at the end, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't have to be that EXACT gift that he or she wants, and it doesn't NEED to be very special like a limited edition T-shirt or shoes. You got a good gift for that person, you show that you care for that person, and that is all that matters.
Well, that should do. There are few more things to add but I feel that these are the first to be considered. Hope you have a good time picking out presents for people and enjoying that moment of satisfaction from giving that present to that special someone!
