ART OF GIFTING
 It
is amazing how much thought someone will put into picking out
the perfect present, yet uses very little imagination on how
to give it. In many ways, the presentation of a gift is just
as important as the item itself. Imagine buying someone a gold
ring and leaving it on the kitchen counter with a note that
says, "Thought you might like this." Or contrast that
with the gift of a ring hidden inside a rosebud that will "magically"
appear as rose blossoms in sunlight.
The next time you are giving a gift, consider presenting
it in a creative or meaningful way. Try these out for a change:
Tie a string all through the house, beginning at the location
where the gift is hidden. You can also attach small gifts all
along the string as a teaser for the big present at the end.
Try this and see the smile come on your loved one's face!
Another way in which you could give presents is by having
him/her find them. Write about seven or so clues, which lead
from one written clue to the next, until the final clue leads
to the hidden gift.
If you want to go all out on the "treasure hunt"
theme, you can give a tape in the "Mission Impossible"
style with instructions or clues on how to locate the missing
gift.
So, there are dozens and dozens of ways in which you can
transform the presentation of even an ordinary gift into a
truly romantic or memorable occasion. Just a little bit of
"thinking" can do the magic and you will realise
how easy it is to charm a person!
