Choosing the right gift for an occasion can seem daunting. Here are three simple steps to help you narrow the options for a gift that will be sure to impress.
We All Know That Choosing The Right Gift Can Be Stressful.
Whether that be for a birthday, anniversary or a ‘thank you’, the choices are endless and the where’s-the-best-place-to-start is very real.
Gifting builds new relationships and consolidates existing ones, but choosing the right gift can be off putting and the opportunity overlooked because gift selection was too-hard is wasted unless you can break through the barriers.
To help you seize the opportunity, we’ve compiled a simple 3 step process to guide you.
Step 1 – Put Your Detective Hat On
Before you find yourself wandering aimlessly down the Google rabbit hole, we need to have some ideas listed before you start. This is where a little pre-planning comes in.
Have they mentioned things to you recently that might spark a great gift idea?
It’s these indirect statements that offer the best clues into what they would be interested in and what would come as a total surprise when they receive it as a gift.
Think back to some past meetings and see if any ideas surface.
Of course, some people are very adept at “dropping” the message and your job is all the easier if you are tuned in to these. So choosing the right gift might be as simple as reflecting on the messages this person has already inadvertently or otherwise dropped.
Step 2 – How well do you know this person
Depending on how well you know this person that you’re seeking a gift for, you should be able to list a few items at minimum that you know they would love
So think about this person – their lifestyle, their home, their personality.
Choosing the right gift might be a complement to the things they already love?
Step 3 – Cross-Check Against The Occasion
You now have a list of things they’re interested in plus a list of things you know they’d love. Now’s the time to cross check those against the occasion.
Does it marry up?
Is it over the top or underdone?
Make sure you are choosing the right gift for the occasion. Does it make sense for the occasion? If it doesn’t, try some of your other ideas listed or think of some surrounding gift ideas that could work too.
