Gift-giving priorities
The best gift need not be expensive. It’s the value of the sentiment that matters and not the cost. Here is a gift-giving checklist that might help you come up with an idea for the perfect present...
1. Is there a luxury that the recipient might not necessarily buy for themselves? Anything that you enjoy yourself that s/he might also like?
2. What will give them lasting pleasure? Have they ever admired or envied something of yours?
3. Is there something relevant to the occasion or age of the recipient? There are gemstones and other materials associated with different anniversaries.
4. Give your gift a personal touch. However readymade it may be, it can still carry a personal message or statement, written or unwritten.
