My philosophy of gift-giving
As the deadline approaches for thinking of that great gift for friends or family, I thought I would pass along my thoughts on what makes a great gift:
- Something that the recipient doesn’t NEED. By buying something that is needed, you are essentially just paying for something that the person would have bought for him/herself anyway. That’s no fun.
- Something that you know/think the person would really enjoy but would probably never buy for him/herself. This especially includes gifts that you know the recipient has been coveting but could never justify actually buying.
Thinking back to some of my favorite gifts or gifts that I know are favorites of my friends and family, I would say that most of them fit the above criteria. Do you have any criteria to add?
