If you’re on the receiving end of a gift, there are some simple things you can do to make your gift-giver’s life easier (and ensure you stay on their gift list):
1. Don’t be that person who says “I don’t want/need anything.” No one likes that person. And this is possibly the most unhelpful statement known to man. Be helpful and offer some suggestions, or at least give them some hint…”I drink beer” or “I like plants” is a much more acceptable answer.
2. Tell them what you want
If there’s something specific that you want, that’s not too expensive, let them know. It will save them a bunch of time shopping around for something you don’t want, and you’ll get something you want! WIN WIN!
3. Be grateful.
Always. No matter what you receive, receive it graciously with a smile. No one likes to feel like they picked the wrong gift. At the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts.
