Be sensible

While presenting gifts to ladies we should act sensibly.Eventhough they are equal to us,they are not like us.So, some prethought is necessery.

Many hubviewers have asked me frequently about the points to remember while presenting gifts to ladies. Eventhough it is not a matter to fear, it is a matter which needs some thought.I shall try to enlighten my enthusiastic friends in this regard by my life experience.

Not to everybody

We must understand first that we cannot go on gifts to every lady whom we like or with whom we wish to establish intimacy. Ladies usually refuse to accept gifts from less known or unknown persons.You should not venture to gift to anyone unless she becomes clearly known about you or , there is a guinne occassion to present the gife and you are an invite to the occassoin.

Criteria to remember

Anyway, there are certain criteria to remember while pr4senting gifts to ladies.

They are:

1 AGE AND STATUS OF THE RECEIVER

2occassion

3 Suitability of the material

4WAY OF PRESENTING

Now , let us know about each one of the above, in littler detail.

1AGE AND STATUS OF THE RECEIVER

You can not present a beautiful &fashionable skirt to an old lady. Or, such a present may not be liked by a mother of two children as her social status is different. Hence, while selecting gifrts, we must remember who we are presenting the gift. The gift should fit the age and social status of the receiver.

Receivers may be different-mom, girlfriend with whom you romantic relation,etc.Mom gifting should include respectable materials like statue of God,her portrait, Here children's or grand children's photoes,etc.

Romantic gifts

Romantic gifts include-a ring, necklace, dress or dress materials, good books with romantic stories(like -Romeo-Juliet,), pearls,etc. These could well be presented as

Valentine day gifts.You can also think of good mobile phone set.

2OCCASSION

PRESENTING SHOULD BE COUPLED WITH AN OCCASSION TO PRESENT-like, marrage, engagement, party time, entering own house, etc.But if the receiver is very well known to you and understands you clearly, you need not wait for any occassion

3 SUITABILITY OF THE MATERIAL

GIFT YOU PRESENT SHOULD THE OCCASSION AND AGE AND STATUS OF THE RECEIVER.A gents watch, an old fashioned outfit, to an young and smart girlfriend is very odd. Similarly, a black, dress on a happy occassion is also tells how foolish you are!

If the lady is good at the use of computers,if your purse permits, you can go for computer bargaining-sither software or hardware.

4 WAY OF PRESENTING.

WHOEVER MAY BE THE RECEIVER. whether young or old, well known or new acquiantee, gifts must be presented in a respectful manner, with affection- if they are youngsters:with all warmth- if they are olds, with real love - if she is youyr fiancy

Presenting a gift should never appear like a routine, dramatic act.

To In-laws

After the first publication of this hub, the very next morning I received a quiery from one of the respected readers about presenting gifts to new daughter-in-law.

I hereby wish to record my ideas.

A daughter-in-law is like a daughter .She need to be looked after with such affection eventhough we will not be having that much intimacy as we had with our own daughter.In these days as every daughter-in-law is educated andearning in some way or the other, the best way of selecting the gift would be-looking at her tastes and interests.If she loves to hear the music, we can present her a music album of her favourite singer.If she olves dresses more, we can present her the dress whose colour and design are liked by her.If she has photography as her hobby, we can present her a fine camera.So on........

To girl friends

Dont take girl friends as easily gullible persons.Personality of anybody should not be taken as of less value.Present her the thing of her choice.For that, you should be watching her talks, acts, and needs with all sincearity.Then only you cqn trace what she likes or needs.One reader suggests to ask her to make a list of things she wants and then make a choice from that list.That is agood suggestion.But I dont agree that presenting a gift in a restura before dinner or anyact like that would make you a prince in her eyes.No. Ladies are not such fools.They can very well understand whether you are pretending or, actually feeling.

To whoever you present anything, give it with all sincearity and good behaviour
