People love to give gifts as much as they love to receive them. They especially love to be successful at it and usually, choosing a gift is the point at which gift-giving becomes difficult.
THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER...
There are basically 3 rules of thumb for choosing gifts for people you want to impress:
1. Know their tastes and style preferences
2. Choose something that is unique
3. Choose something that sends the right message
Knowing tastes and styles is really not all that difficult. Take a good look at how the person dresses, what colors they wear most often and whether or not jewelry is a regular part of their style. Then, it's merely a matter of making mental notes you can store in memory when it's time to choose a gift.
Most people tend to look for comfort in what they wear as well as styles they feel suit their height, weight and overall skin and hair color. But, they also choose colors they are comfortable with. That's why it's important to get a sense of their tastes and styles.
This also applies to the jewelry they add to their wardrobe. Make a note of the types of jewelry they wear most often. Do they regularly wear bracelets? Pendants? Rings? Pins or Stickpins? Fortunately, today's business attire is no longer as predictably uniform as once it might have been. This means that the "old standard" styles of jewelry are being replaced by interesting, well-crafted pieces that offer more in terms of significance to the wearer than in investment value.
Formerly, diamonds and gold and more expensive jewelry were chosen as an investment. However, trends have changed. Unique pieces of jewelry in silver and semi-precious stones are likely to have endearing qualities to the wearer. They also gain value over time, becoming heirlooms that are passed on to the next generation.
When you want to impress, your gift choice should also be unique. When you take the time to choose a unique gift, it tells the people you want to impress that you understand them and recognize their tastes. And, that you are a very discerning gift-giver. You look for items that have beauty, value and aren't more of the same.
Choose a gift that sends the right message: that you value someone enough to select a gift that is individual to the person. A gift speaks of caring and respect on the most basic level. Many handcrafted designs feature materials with symbolic significance, making it possible to choose a stone that attracts serenity for a person who values peace, while choosing another that symbolized harmony for another recipient.
Most of all, the gifts you choose for the people you want to impress should stand as a reminder of you and your desire to delight your loved one. |
