When accepting gifts from loved ones, acquaintances or work colleagues, always think that the person will be pleased to see positive emotions and hear words of gratitude, so do not skimp on feelings and manifestations of sincere joy.
Instructions
Step 1
Try not to dream of a specific gift. In this case, you will not experience disappointment, having received, for example, mascara instead of a clock. Even if you have made opaque hints about what you want to get, others may either not understand it or decide that their choice is much better.
Step 2
Accept a gift from loved ones with sincere gratitude, even if it's a trifle. After all, the very fact that it was chosen (and sometimes made) especially for you testifies to a good attitude.
Step 3
If you exchange small gifts at work on the occasion of the New Year or March 8, be sure to thank your colleague and smile. In no case do not transfer the received item to any of your colleagues, a situation may arise that the present will return to the first donor after three or four holidays.
Step 4
Don't overdo it by trying to show how much you liked the present. It is no secret that sometimes gifts are completely useless or simply inappropriate, but you should not show your displeasure, because you do not know for sure whether the souvenir was chosen according to the “must” principle or the person simply did not guess right. Also watch your facial expression if the present upset you or confused you. After all, if you are presented with a cellulite gel, this does not necessarily mean that others are giving you a reason to get in shape. It is possible that they know about your love to take care of your body.
Step 5
Try not to feel obligated if a loved one gave you an expensive item. This does not directly indicate the depth of his feelings, but suggests that he wants you to possess this object. It's another matter if you are presented with expensive gifts by unfamiliar or distant people. In this case, it is better to refuse the presentation, but this must be done as tactfully as possible.
Step 6
Do not be discouraged that after several years of living together, spouses sometimes decide together what to buy for their birthday or before the New Year. The value of such a gift does not decrease at all, but even increases, because, firstly, really useful and necessary things are chosen in this way, and, secondly, these are your joint efforts to improve your life together.
