We all agree that nothing says “thank you” more clearly than a gift, but for most of us, that opens a Pandora’s box of decisions. Like Goldilocks, we want it not to be too big or too small, but just right.
Care and Consideration
Giving a gift should please the giver as much as the recipient. That being said, unless your last name is Vanderbilt, budgets play a role in gifting. If the recipient gave you an expensive gift and you can’t afford to reciprocate on the same level, that’s OK. Be upfront and delight them with a gift that more than makes up for the value difference with thoughtfulness.As an example, if they just took up painting, perhaps a small set of brushes would be a very appreciated gift.
