shut up, sit down, and read

its giving…

There are two types of gift givers out there.

Type 1: are people like me.  I’m known to give money, gift cards to stores that I know they shop at, and for a little razzle dazzle I’ll add a Korean facial product to top it off.  This year for Christmas, everyone got a La Roche-Posay (French, not Korean) SPF product.  I am a pragmatic gifter.

Type 2: are other people like many of my friends who think giving money and gift cards are not thoughtful and personal.  They are the ones who give customized gifts with the recipient’s name on it, make homemade presents, or order things well in advance that are one of a kind presents.

Which one are you?

    Dear Rojie,
    You are sensitive like the proverbial swan 🦢 in Indian mythology who helped princess Damayanti. Your posts reflect your sensitivity. This post shows it.

    I am extremely thankful to you for liking my post Saigal ❤️🌼💕♥️🥰

    Mm… I would say a mix of both really. Gift cards are the best if you are going to actually use them.

    I have loved ones of a third type. Type 3: The Experiential Giver – This type of gift giver skips material presents altogether and instead offers experiences tailored to the recipient’s passions and interests. Whether it’s tickets to a favorite band’s concert, a pottery-making class, or a weekend getaway, these gifts create lasting memories and often bring people together.

    I may be a combination of some of these types. 💐

    For me, I like to try and figure out what the person likes and then go that direction, if not – I believe money and gift cards are some of the best gifts you and give and receive. 😆

    Happy New Year! 🎆🎊 ✨

    I’m not a huge gift giver, but when I do give, I’m a total type 2. I know I sound a little like the Dos Equis man there.

    I like your gifts! I think most people like to receive gift cards they can use. I am mostly in the camp of #1, but I, too, like to make memories with loved ones as opposed to giving gifts.

    Happy New Year to you!
