For example, for different people, a computer or expensive electronics as a gift will be considered differently valuable. Because, for example, a person with a high income simply took and bought this gift, and a person with a low income spent a lot of effort to save up money, find the right product, and so on. Thus, we can conclude that the value of a gift is determined, first of all, in relation to the giver and the efforts that he spent on this gift.

The second aspect of any gift is a sense of obligation. That is, when we receive a gift, we certainly think about the need to thank the donor. And even if it was said in plain text that nothing was needed in response, the little worm still sits inside and sharpens hour after hour with the same thought - we must thank. And preferably, the return gift should also not be anyhow, but at least slightly correspond to the one presented. And again here we are faced with the fact that each person evaluates his gifts subjectively and responds subjectively, which still leaves some room for misunderstanding.

In general, oddly enough, people like to give gifts more than receive, for the most part. This is probably due to the fact that a person experiences positive emotions of expectation from the choice of a gift and the very anticipation of the moment of giving. It's kind of fun. And the more and brighter emotions the recipient experiences, the more happiness arises from the giver. This connection, which is not fully understood, may be difficult to capture on the human emotional spectrum, so it is not yet fully understood even by scientists. But another fact is very interesting - if for some reason we cannot see the reaction of the recipient, then we usually choose a gift much more carefully. In fact, it turns out that we give gifts even more for ourselves than for others, in order to experience the joy that we can bring the same joy to someone.

By the way, one curious study showed that in cases where people wanted money or books as a gift and did not receive it as a result, it turned out that the giver thought that this would not bring pleasure to the recipient. Direct communication is extremely interesting, isn't it? So, it turns out that the gift is aimed at giving maximum happiness to both the recipient and the giver himself.

As practice and research show, gifts-experiences, for example, a trip to the theater or a photo session, are best perceived. The second, no less convenient option is to give a person something that he himself has long wanted to buy for himself, but for some reason it doesn’t work (for example, there is not enough money or time to sort out the reviews for the store). As a rule, such a gift will be very, very successful, because your efforts will pay off with interest.

How to find out what exactly a person wants to buy for a long time? The easiest way is to ask in advance directly. By doing this, you can greatly simplify your life and not play a damaged phone. The second option is to ask the relatives of the recipient about the same. The third is now popular sites for compiling wishlists - wish lists.
