Don't be
too shy to let them know about the gift you really
want! If your birthday, Christmas, Father's Day or
other gift giving occasion is approaching, don't
be too embarrassed to ask for a specific gift when they
wonder what it is you are really hoping for this
year.
Think back to
all the times that you have been trying to pick out the
perfect present for someone. Wouldn't it be great
to have a list of gifts that you know the person would
love to have? That way, you would know
exactly what the person would be hoping for.
So do try to think of it from the giver's point of view.
Why not start
a family tradition and get the members of your
family to all make out a 'wish list' ranging from the
extravagant 'dream' gifts to the everyday, economical
but still needed, gifts. Then be sure to fill one
out yourself and keep it updated.
If you are
still too shy to come right out and tell friends what
you would love to have, then at least try to drop
a few hints and if they come right and ask what you are
hoping for this year, don't play coy! Tell
them exactly what you were hoping for, remembering
of course that it isn't appropriate to ask for something
expensive! Be sure to give a few choices so
that they can still give you something with the element
of surprise involved.
Be a good
gift giver yourself too. Try to observe friends
and family and see what they might have that is broken
or worn out. Take note of their favorite foods and
hobbies so that you can delight them with a gift that is
just perfect for them. When you are a thoughtful
gift giver, then chances are they will make an
effort to be as thoughtful as you, when it comes
time to get you a
gift!
