Most people like gifts. However, there are times when it could get awkward that you end up not knowing what to say! This is because to experience gifts is not always a fun thing. Some people, when they experience gift giving, they feel like they do not deserve it or it is something they do not want or need. In these situations, you need to know the best things to say so you do not offend the gift giver. After all, he went through the trouble of getting it for you.
When you experience gifts that you think are too expensive for you, do not hold back your delight. It is important that the receiver sees you astounded before you tell him or her that you think it is too much. For example, if you experience gift giving of a diamond studded tennis bracelet on your second month anniversary, gasp in delight. It is then easy to follow it up with “This is too much!” Never follow it up with “too soon” because it will make the other person feel that you are not on the same page, relationship-wise. Thank him, but only wear it on special occasions.
There may also be times when you experience gifts that you do not actually need, like glorified feather dusters or yet another recyclable tote bag to add to your growing pile. Always thank the giver, and state how it could be of use for you. When you experience gift giving like this, say “This is such a unique (name of gift), wherever did you find it?” or you can say “Wow, I can keep this in my car for when I do my grocery shopping!” Always try to ask questions or state what you could use it for to make the giver feel that you are interested in his or her gift.
People also sometimes experience gifts that are awkward or inappropriate. At times, it could be embarrassing. But the main thing to remember is to not lose your cool and to remain jovial about it. For example, if you end up receiving a CD of an obscure, unpopular or defunct band, you can make a reference to the decade it was made such as “Hey, this brings me back to the eighties!” When you experience gift giving like this, it is best to keep things fun without making fun of the actual situation. After all, you too might end up giving something like it without knowing it.
Receiving gifts is sometimes as challenging as giving them, but it pays to be prepared for various scenarios. If you know the best way to act in these, then you will be able to show your gratitude to the person who gave you the gift. Likewise, it can even steer you away from making bad gift choices yourself! What is most important is to show the other person how touched you are for his or her kind gesture, and everything will be alright in the end.
When you experience gifts you should know how to react. To experience gift giving is not too hard for as long as you are prepared for various situations.
