Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty, when all of those endless lists, long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5-miute excitement of flying wrapping paper.The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.
1).Know the person
The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows you really know the person well, and you really care about them.
2).Donate in their name
Research suggests that happier people give more to others, and that giving more makes people happier. Moreover, charity-related happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection. So, try giving to the less fortunate in someone's name this holiday season.
3).Give handmade goods or hand-me-downs
A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love, and love is what they want to express to the gift receiver.
Family heirlooms(傳家寶)may be another good girl option. A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thing—money—through the generations, the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.
4).Provide chances for participation
If there's a golden rule of girls, though, it's this:People who receive experiential girls, such as concert tickets or a zoo membership, feel more connected to the girl giver than people who received material girls.
A. But it doesn't have to be that way.
B. Give experiences rather than objects.
C. New and store—bought is not always best.
D. That is always beyond their expectation.
E. That means catering to another's pleasure.
F. Giving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness.
G. Start listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift
