The Psychology of Gift Giving

THREAD

There are 3 Ways to Properly Give a Gift.

1. It's about You
When it's time to give a gift, for example for a birthday, you start to realize how LITTLE you know the other person.

That's okay. You and this person have a certain relation going on. And a relation goes both ways. A two way street.

You give the person something about YOU.
What do I mean?

You don't know what the OTHER person likes, but you DO know what YOU like. This is the trick. Let's say you're into single malt whiskey, AND you know the other person likes a good drink now and then.

You gift a solid whiskey bottle.

Why does this work?
Gift giving is about SHARING, and in fact you are SHARING information about your personality to the other person. This is the extra double layer of the gift.

It's not just whiskey. It's, Hey this is me!

And this will force multiple the gift.
2 — It's about THEM

Ngl, if you don't know the other person, FIND OUT about them. Ask their spouse, partner, brother, sister, father, mother. If you don't want to do the work, there's always option 1, or 3, which is quite interesting.

Nothing hits harder than the perfect gift.
3 — It's about YOU & THEM

When you don't know them, or yourself, you're at a crossroads. What you do is you buy the BOTH of you a gift.

In the form of an EXPERIENCE. Studies have shown this is by FAR the best way of gift giving.

You create Everlasting Memories together.
