Howdy Stackers!

When it comes to gift giving, some people have an uncanny ability to find the perfect gift, while others struggle to find something that feels right. So how do you know if you're a good gift giver?

imagine it’s your best friend's birthday. Instead of giving him the usual gift certificate or generic item, you remember that a few months ago he mentioned how much he missed the taste of a special kind of tea from a small store he visited on his last vacation. Taking it a step further, you search for the store online and order a tasting set of their favorite teas, nicely packaged and with a handwritten note saying, "I thought you'd like to try some again from this trip"

This is the kind of thoughtful gift that goes beyond the material — it's about the memories, the thoughtfulness and the effort to find something truly meaningful.

And what about you? Are you the kind of person who digs deep and gets creative, or do you tend to go for the simplest solution?

I'm very bad at giving gifts. But I like the idea. From now on I will also try to give gifts like this.

Somebody probably knows more about this and can expound but gift giving is 1 of 5 love languages. Acts of service, words of affirmation, touch and time are the others, so if you're not particularly strong at giving gifts you may be more of another.

But to answer your question I do tend to give good gifts

I don't make it very time consuming affair. I just look for something that may be useful for whom I'm gifting. That's all I do.

I'm not at all a good gift giver! I seek suggestions whenever I need to give.

I do ok on quality, but fall very short on quantity.

Yes, I am excellent at gift giving when I put a full effort in. But sometimes I get lazy.

I have always tried to pay attention to the details that my friends give me in the different conversations we have had when choosing a gift.

I don't easily give gifts, but when I do, I give the best I can. As the saying goes, "Always give how you would love to be given".

No, because giving good gifts costs time more than anything. It's something I'd like to be better at though.

I met a guy once who kept gift giving notes. Whenever he encountered someone that mentioned something like your example of tea, he jotted it down.

Well, giving gifts is also an art. And I want everyone to learn this art. Only then will wife/ girlfriend or friends be happy.

Personally, I'm not sure if I’m a good gift giver. Most of the time, I tend to give people what I think they need rather than what they might want.
