How do we choose gifts?

OR

What do you consider when choosing a gift?

When picking gifts for friends or family, we typically begin by thinking about what they like. For example, if the recipient is into gardening, we might look for a nice plant or gardening tools. It's all about finding something that resonates with their hobbies and preferences.

OR

When selecting gifts, we tend to consider the occasion first. Birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays often call for different types of gifts. Then, we think about what the person might need or what would make them smile. It could be a practical item or something more sentimental.

OR

Well, it really depends on the person we're buying the gift for. For close friends, we try to pay attention to any hints they drop throughout the year. If they mention a book they want to read or a restaurant they'd like to visit, we take note and use that as a guide for our gift choice.

OR

Choosing gifts can be tricky, but we usually go for something that reflects the recipient's personality. If they're adventurous, we might plan an outdoor activity together, if they enjoy art, we might pick up a unique piece from a local gallery. It's all about making the gift special and tailored to them.

What's the best gift you have ever received?

What kind of gifts are popular in your country?

Well, people in my country really like to give books and handmade gifts as well as home décor presents such as frames, figurines and candles. All these things create comfort and remind the receiver of the giver's love and affection. Many people also give flowers and chocolates, especially as "Thank you" presents and cash as a birthday or wedding gift.

Do you like to give expensive gifts?

Oh, yeah, I do. First of all, I do it because I can afford it and, of course, because I like to fulfil dreams of my beloved people feeling as happy as them when they get what they really dreamt about.

OR

Oh no, I don't. Expensive gifts mean more pressure on my monthly expense, which, in turn, means I will have to refuse from something I really need in order to please another person with something costly. What is more, I don't want to buy anybody's love with material things. I'd better do it with actions.

How often do you buy gifts for other people?

Oh, I actually do it quite often. I would even say almost every day. Just because I like to show thoughtfulness, love and affection to close people and raise a smile on their faces.

OR

Well, I usually give presents on special occasions like birthdays and weddings to mark milestones and bring joy and pleasure to the receiver. From time to time I also buy gifts to cheer close people up or let them know that I care.

Why do people give gifts?

I guess there are a lot of reasons why people do it. For example, to show interest and appreciation or express gratitude to others. People also give gifts to mark milestones and just bring joy and pleasure to the ones they love.

Have you ever received a gift which you didn't like?

Oh yeah, it happened to me a while ago. I got a key box from my mate which I didn't like at all as it was big and heavy enough and I just couldn't come up with an idea when and where to use it. And still, I struggled to bring a smile to my face to show gratitude to the giver as any present to my mind, is worth a 'thank you'.
