Gifts

Deciding on what gifts to give is an eternal problem. Here are some pointers.

1. You are giving a gift as a token of friendship or relationship. Gift does not have to be expensive.

2. A flower bouquet is always a nice default.

3. A bottle of wine is a good idea too. Make sure you not buying a cheap wine though!

4. Students who are invited by families may take a coffee cake. It is symbolic and not expensive at all.

5. A platter, a serving bowl or a decorative vase could make a good gift.

6. These days people give gift cards as a way out. Bookstore gift cards or iTunes gift card always comes handy for children.

7. A box chocolates is another good gift idea.

8. Photo frame could be a good idea under certain circumstances.

9. Avoid re-gifting unless it is appropriate, in original packaging and not used. People can figure out that they have been re-gifted quite easily.

10. Avoid passing of gifts those items get for free at department stores for shopping. For example, steak knives which Sears gives away if spend more than $100, is not the right kind of gift. People can figure that out quickly.
