Surprise or confidence? We all love surprises, and the gift of surprise can bring a lot of joy. However, by communicating what the ideal gift would be, you can save the guest from unnecessary headaches and the possibility of making a mistake.
If you suggest what kind of gift you want to receive, it can also help a loved one understand me better.
Sometimes an outsider can give good advice on gifts. So I'm interested in your opinion, what do you say?
Sure, surprises are nice, but sometimes giving hints in advance can lead to more variety in gifts, right?
So what to do? Talk up front or rely on the other person's intuition? How would you do it?
