‘Tis the season of gift giving. But be it a grand gesture or a modest token of appreciation, it helps to keep in mind a few handy principles when selecting a gift for a significant other, a family member, a friend, or a colleague.

Gifts With Flair for Him

First, and foremost, keep in mind her personality. Are they likely to use and like the object of your choice? The most flattering part of receiving a gift is that it says that you’ve paid enough attention to them to understand what appeals to their character.

Second, know when to splurge and when this might be overwhelming for the person receiving your gift. Every gift is a message. If your grand gesture is likely to put the receiver ill at ease because they cannot reciprocate, think about toning down your choice.

And don’t forget, the gift also says a lot about you. To have real flair, gift cards are not an option. Commit to gifting an actual object shows thoughtfulness and imagination.
