Element of surprise

Giving a gift is always a pleasant occassion for the parties involved, I like to believe, the giver feels elated that they have contributed somehow to elevating the recipient's mood, and ofcourse the gift receiver has a cool new toy or accessory to enjoy. Deciding what the perfect gift is takes knowing the recipient quite well, or going about your selection of appropriate gift by asking exactly what they would like. The trouble is, as effective as this method is, it can get rather boring when you already know what you're getting. A key part in the presentation of a great gift is the amount of thought that has gone into it's selection and the element of pleasant surprise involved when the idea is spot on.

One tip is to go with an unusual, unique gift. Be creative, with a tiny bit of effort, you will find a perfect gift not just picked off the shelf of your local retail chain, and it does not have to be impractical either. It may be a beautifully designed Cushion cover, a trinket box or a necklace made out of Coconut shells (I have seen quite a few really cool ones). The idea is to present something that is one of a kind, when most of the other folks are probably giving the same old generic gifts, meaning you get to stand out, which in turn means your gift WILL be remembered and that gesture will very likely be reciprocated at some point.
