Balloon Gift

As a student I’m always pretty confused about what to get friends or loved ones as gifts, and not having a heavy wallet has often led to some pretty terrible gift buying experiences.

Basically, there are two ways in which a gift giving can go wrong; either you can give a gift that does not go down too well, or you can be given a gift that is not to your personal taste. Either of these situations is very awkward and makes for an uncomfortable experience where there should be joy and appreciation. Whether you give a howler of a present, or receive one, the most important thing when opening a present is that you should always look pleased upon opening!

The fundamental rule that applies to any gift-giving situation is that, no matter how hideous you consider a gift to be, never let on that you don’t like it. Keep this in mind at all times – especially when there is a crowd of people watching. Instead smile graciously and thank the giver courteously, finding something nice to say about the gift to show your appreciation for their thought. No matter how bad the present is, remember it was given with love and that you ought to return this sentiment with an appropriate ‘thank you’. However, don’t overdo it as this is always a sure-fire way of communicating your distaste.

In situations like these thank you notes are often overlooked as a way of conveying a subtle message to the giver after the occasion. Finding a good point to talk about in a note of thanks will once again demonstrate that you appreciate their effort. For example, if you receive an ornament that’s not to your taste, choose to talk about the colours used on the item and find a way to relate this to your surroundings at home: ‘while the colours of the flowers in the ornamental basket are suited to the kitchen, we do not have the shelf space in this room at the moment’.

Small indications that the gift is not going to be pride of place when they next visit, but that you do like the present are not considered as rude as never having the present on show and saying nothing of it. Giving an indication of where the present may end up – ‘we’ve decided it matches the decor in the spare room perfectly however and it brightens up the space’ – is a way of saying what you mean without offending and still acknowledging the fact you have received a gift of love.

If you are concerned your note will not be well received, consider sending it with a bouquet of thank you flowers to show your appreciation. Sites such as ASDA Flowers have beautiful flowers at reasonable prices so you can get the message across without any offence.

If you realise you have made a mistake with a gift – perhaps the recipient is not as good at poker faces as you or you have duplicated another present – simply apologise and explain why you made your choice. Offer the receipt to the recipient or offer to take it back yourself. If you are humble and offer to exchange the gift for another (here you can ask if there’s another gift they might prefer) you should be forgiven. Of course, the best way to ensure that the gift is well received is to get something YOU KNOW they will like in the first place.
