It's New Year! The annual lively festival, relatives and friends have gathered, visited each other and blessed each other, making winter warm. It's always nice to get together to have a chat, a good meal, and a good time. However, looking at it, the various gifts given by relatives and friends have become a kind of trouble: some people are not good for sweets, some people are afraid of high cholesterol, and some people are too heavy to carry ......So what to do? I am reluctant to throw away the affectionate and righteous hearts of others, and I am afraid that I will not be able to consume it. Hey, it's really tangled! I'm going to talk to you about this problem and see how to solve this problem.
1.It is better to send "heart" than to give away
Gifts from friends and family don't really need to be tried or cared about whether we really need them. Some people may be bringing foods such as milk, candy or pastries, while others may be beverages such as liquor or cigarettes or tobacco products. These things, to be honest, sometimes we don't necessarily need them, and they're not that kind for health. Instead of reluctantly accepting these gifts that are not suitable for you for the sake of face, it is better to tell them directly about your needs and express your gratitude to them for this sincerity. For example, you can say, "Thank you for the kind gift you brought me, but I really can't get used to this brand of milk, if you have the opportunity next time, you can choose other foods that are more suitable for me, I will be very happy." Of course, I'll accept any gift you want to give me, after all, we're friends. ”
2.Choose small items that are practical.
If you can't afford to give gifts from friends and family, consider buying something with high practical value as a reward. For example, if a relative likes to fish, you can buy him fishing gear; For example, if you have a friend who is passionate about sports and fitness, you can choose a suitable pair of running shoes or sports watches for him. This approach can not only help them meet the actual needs of life, but also help us to better choose goods, no longer entangled in impractical gifts, and at the same time can enhance the use value of the gift itself, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
3.Flowers and books.
In addition, you can also consider exchanging some of the gifts that are too expensive or not to your taste for flowers or books to give to others. For example, if a cousin wants to love his child and sends various toys and clothing derivatives, then you can consider buying a few books for his child; For example, if a girlfriend likes the art of flower arrangement, and you happen to have a beautiful bouquet in the gift, you can consider giving her an equally beautiful bouquet or a beautiful flower set.
4.Exchange gifts.
If it's really hard to accept these gifts, consider swapping out some of them. For example, if a friend gives you a jar of tea that she brewed herself, but you find that the tea may not be suitable for your taste buds, you can also exchange it with her to see if it is good for the other person's taste and taste. In this way, the whole gift-giving process is also more open and democratic, and it is not necessary to stick to the traditional form of gifts, but can enhance mutual trust and interests.
5.Rebate on self-purchase.
Finally, you can consider making a self-purchase and giving back the gifts that the other party gave you as a self-purchase. For example, if she gives you a box of delicious chocolate cakes, you can find the same cake and give it back for the same price: or if he gives you a bottle of fine wine, you can also search for a bottle of popular wine and treat him to a sumptuous dinner party in the future. This approach not only saves the problem of how to clean up the remaining goods, but also takes care of the tastes and preferences of others more appropriately, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to achieve the same value or slightly higher than the ** sent by the other party, otherwise it will seem that you are not generous enough or lose your identity.
At the end of the year, when celebrating the festive season, the most important thing is the friendship and love between each other. Whether it is the choice of gifts or the way of feedback, there is no need to be overly demanding, just correct the mentality and sincerity. Let's cherish this sweet and beautiful emotion together, encourage each other to support and care, and spend a happy and harmonious New Year together!
