What makes a gift perfect?

All of the style and trend research in the world will never be enough to do it right. On the surface, it is self-evident: the best approach to acquire someone the right gift is to ask them what they genuinely want or need. However, for some reason, our culture has evolved a standard that it is unethical to ask a loved one what he or she wants as a gift. Doing so is believed to be undramatic and uninspiring in some way. After all, if you have to inquire, you’re probably not as well acquainted with the recipient as you should be.

Let’s say someone close to you inquires about the type of gift you want. Aren’t you going to be irritated on the inside? Isn’t it difficult to think that your loved ones don’t comprehend your needs and preferences? You begin to doubt your link, realizing that it is so frail that they have no idea what you deserve or what kind of gifts will be appreciated. You’ll be upset just thinking about it. If you do the same, your recipients will become discouraged. What’s the point of that “connection” if you have to ask them what they want and need? 

In a nutshell, it is a very bad idea to ask them what type of gift they want. It will create a lot of chaos and bring gaps between you and your dear ones. Gifts are ways to express your love, respect and make the other realize how important they are.

Characteristics to look for in a perfect gift

Whether it’s the festive season or a wedding one, Indians are always ready to celebrate. Gifts are a major aspect of any celebration. Choosing gifts for family, friends, relatives, neighbors, loved ones and not to forget our business associates is quite a task. However, if your intentions are true and you have that dedication, you can surely ace the gift-giving tradition every year.

If any festival or party or a wish to show love towards the receiver approaches, you start wondering what kinds of gifts you should go for. Would they be liked by them? Would  they be happy or would it annoy them? All these thoughts occupy you and you feel exhausted. But hey, you can do it! 

We always look for everything perfect. Perfect job, perfect salary, perfect academics, perfect food, perfect smartphone, perfect attires, perfect dressing, everything just PERFECT. Same goes with the kinds of gifts we choose to present. We always want to present the perfect gifts out there. But what makes a perfect gift? What are the qualities gifts should have to be labelled as ‘perfect’? This place is for you to get all the answers you need.

Following are the features a perfect gift holds. Have a look!

1. Creates connection – A gift that fails to establish connectivity is a total waste. A thoughtful gift does more than giving the receiver something they desire or need. It also emphasizes and strengthens your relationship with them. Giving something that reflects a common interest or indicates your understanding of their interests is a nice idea. Best example can be a silver photo frame. Help them cherish memories with a connective gift. If you are looking for more options, you have: silver keychains, silver coffee mugs, silver boxes and many more.
2. Go for indulgent products – ones they won’t get themselves- Sounds a little strange? I know. But that’s how it works. Weird but true. We always tend to not buy certain things which we need. Maybe due to procrastination, low budget or whatsoever. We know we need it but we ignore it. Grasp that need of your receivers. Observe what they want but don’t have. Understand their intentions, are they going to buy it in the future? After all this analysis give your shot. You can go for silver bowls, trays, keychains, silver pen holders, silver coffee mugs etc. Present something they always desired. It makes it a perfect gift without double thoughts. 
3. Personalization – When a present is received, it’s tough to fully express the thought that went into choosing that particular present for the recipient. Personalization is a positive step in the right way. Adding your own unique touch to a present has become standard practice for increasing memorability. Personalizing an item with a handwritten remark, engraving, or color scheme demonstrates that the gift-giver went above and beyond. Silver photo frames with a photo or a small card with a sweet message can do wonders. Moreover, silver wine glasses, silver product hampers with some personalizations makes the perfect gift. Just the one you are looking for!
4. High quality – No matter if it is a bucket full of gifts or a single gift, quality is not something you can compromise on. Presenting premium quality gifts to the gift receivers should top your priority list. A gift that is of low quality and cannot go on a long run is a bad one. The receivers will judge you, criticize you. Your reputation will be affected badly. People will start mocking your gifting style. Oh god, such undesirable consequences! Be very careful about the quality of the gift you are presenting. 
5. Practicality – A perfect gift is always the one with utilitarian. If they can’t use your gifts, what’s the point? Practicality of a gift is one of the most important characteristics that makes it a perfect gift. Always choose practical gifts over anything. You can try out silver bowls, silver cups, silver plates, silver jewellery boxes, crystal studded silver containers with a tray and many more. Make sure they smile when they make use of it. 
6. Longevity – Long term use is the key. Don’t settle with short term goals. Your gifts should be one that goes a long way. Make it practical but also see to it that they can be used for years without getting tarnished or causing any damage. For silver products, only choose those which contain anti-lacquer features. The recipients will appreciate long term effects of a gift and not temporary uses.

Make your gifts worthy!

You don’t want the gift recipient to feel like the gift you give them is convenient. Rather, you want to focus on making them pleased with the gift and the gift giver i.e. YOU. Scientific evidence shows that people feel more joyfulness from gift experiences than they do when they receive a material present. Thus, when you’re looking for experience gifts as your present you should keep in mind the person’s happiness with it.

Your gifts should have the most important quality, i.e. a piece of YOU. Be genuine, be yourself while selecting presents for them. Mark your remembrance and show them that you actually care. Let your gifts speak which your lips couldn’t.
