What to give as a gift and what not to?

     

Received an unsuitable or completely unnecessary gift? Don't be too upset and know that you are among the majority who have found themselves in a similar situation. More than half of Lithuanians have encountered this, at least according to surveys.

     What to gift a man? And what should you absolutely not gift? Know that men dislike receiving bed linen sets and towels as gifts the most. So be careful with textile products. They also dislike receiving dishes and various kitchen utensils as gifts, although these would delight many women. Women least desire car accessories and work tools as gifts, though for men, these would be practical and acceptable presents.

     So what do men and women want? Traditionally, women would like to receive perfumes and cosmetics. But make sure to find out what scent she likes. You can never go wrong gifting women books, trips, shopping mall vouchers, and certain electronics. Men would most like to receive electronics and gifts related to their hobbies. Meanwhile, books and cosmetics and perfumes would delight them less.

     It is said that a new dress or handbag always delights women. However, surprisingly, women would be less happy to receive a new item of clothing as a gift. The survey revealed that women prefer to buy clothes and shoes themselves rather than receive them as gifts.

     So before buying a gift, especially an expensive one, think carefully about what would suit and please the person you want to delight.
