To present a gift that will sincerely delight the hero of the occasion, the donor will need not only financial capabilities and good imagination. In addition, it is important to understand that some things cannot be gifted. Otherwise, an unsuccessful gift can ruin the holiday mood and even negatively affect the relationship with the recipient of the gift.
Underwear
Such an intimate gift as underwear should not be given to friends, acquaintances and colleagues. If a man gives underwear to a woman, it can be perceived as an offer to engage in sexual relations. Therefore, a gift in the form of underwear can only be appropriate if it is bought for a life partner.
Women should also not give each other such gifts. The fact is that when buying underwear, it is important to take into account not only a person's personal tastes, but also their size. A gift bought "by eye" is likely to be inappropriate. In general, if you still really want to give underwear, it is better to buy a gift certificate so that a person can choose things on their own.
Perfumery
Perfume and eau de toilette are also considered intimate gifts. It is appropriate to give them only to close people. It is not advisable to give perfume to a person who is just a friend or girlfriend, this can cause jealousy on the part of his other half. By the way, it is not so easy for a loved one to choose a perfume: even knowing his tastes, one cannot be completely sure that this or that fragrance will be suitable and will be liked.
Personal care products
Various hygiene products are rarely appropriate gifts. For example, shampoo and shower gel can be perceived by a person as a hint that they smell bad. A cream for wrinkles or acne will serve as a tactless indication of the flaws in appearance. Therefore, you should be very careful when choosing this kind of gifts. If you want to donate something from the care products, then a good choice would be, for example, handmade soap or a set of essential oils for aromatherapy.
Household gifts
Women should not be presented with kitchen utensils, and men should not be presented with construction tools. Household gifts, of course, are useful, but they certainly cannot be called pleasant. Perhaps someone will really be delighted with a new frying pan or a set of screwdrivers, but someone will not be happy at all with such presentations. Especially such gifts are not appropriate between loved ones.
Pets and plants
You can donate animals only if the person himself asked for it. Otherwise, such a gift can become an extremely unpleasant surprise, even if the person has repeatedly stated that he dreams of a dog or cat. The same goes for potted plants. They can be a great gift for a person who really loves indoor plants and knows how to take care of them, but only subject to prior agreement.
Money
Money is a very delicate gift. Not every person will be delighted with such a present. Someone may even refuse the money presented as a gift. Moreover, they are quite appropriate as a wedding gift. Only it is better to give not in a postal envelope, but in a special gift card or piggy bank.
