What do women want? We derive the formula for the ideal gift

Now, on the contrary, I really like all kinds of gifts that could be given to me at school or university. Because they are all close to my heart: lively and pleasant. While I used to appreciate very expensive “wow” gifts and wanted to receive something important, I now realized that in fact I always skimped on the fun little things. For example, a manga volume that you have loved for a long time, or a key ring with Sailor Moon. I wouldn’t buy one, but now, every time I take out the keys, I tell myself that it’s the hottest one on the block.

We often expect our loved ones to remember what we accidentally say during a conversation about what we like, and then they will give it to us. But, in my opinion, it’s cool to think about yourself first and write it down.

Well, yes, of course, it’s cool when they surprise you with what you wanted, but, to be honest, such a match doesn’t happen very often. I really like the concept of wishlists, where you can indicate something specific, accompanied by links. It turns out it’s a comprehensive list, and there’s still room for surprises, because you don’t know exactly what people will give you in this list.

In general, it seems to me that wish lists are also good because you seem to delve into yourself, better study what you need now. This is a very useful practice. And I completely agree that the intrigue does not disappear because of this, because you still don’t know what they will ultimately choose from it and how you will like it. I created my first wish list literally two years ago, but how happy I was when, for the first time in my life, 90% of birthday gifts were really welcome and necessary. And that stupid disappointment went away, like in the “expectation/reality” memes, only joy and pleasure remained.

For a long time I was against wish lists precisely because, apparently, I subconsciously wanted to test my loved ones, how well they knew me and whether they could achieve this with a gift. However, this position seems immature and toxic to me.

For me, Vishlists are also about knowing what you want. I always thought it would be cool to write such a wish list, but I never actually had one. Sometimes you remember that you want something and it would be cool if they gave it to you. And then when they ask me what to give as a gift, my mind goes blank.

I recently formed a new habit: as soon as I remember that I want something, I immediately open the market and put it in the shopping cart. Just for the future – maybe I’ll buy it, maybe not. So the wish list accumulates by itself.

Oh that’s great ! We must adopt it. Besides, I am the same person who is generally not against socks, shower gels and other things that can be used. I have always been quite pragmatic about material things. Broad gestures in the style of 100 roses seem rather meaningless, but 100 rolls are cool. And I would definitely be happy to have compact devices that do not take up much space in the apartment, like new hair dryer Or hand steamer. Finally, I could diversify my wardrobe with things that I don’t wear because they’re always wrinkled.

Well yes, now I appreciate all kinds of everyday gifts much more than before. Glasses, teapots, flower pots, bed linen of course. Before, I made fun of adults so much when they rejoiced in frying pans and bed linen, but now I understand how important and cool it is. And I myself will squeak new frying panwhose particles will not remain in food.

And my whole life I’ve hated mopping floors. Dishes, toilet bowl, all objects and surfaces – easy, but not floors, please. And recently, quite by chance, I discovered such a phenomenon as a powerful vacuum cleaner. Girls, my world has turned upside down. Now I’m like the Pechkin postman – I dream of my turbo friend, to be able to tell everyone: “Why was I so angry?” Because I have vacuum cleaner did not have”.

My mother also really likes functional gifts. If you ask her what she might like, she will always answer, on the one hand, that she doesn’t need anything, and on the other hand, “something functional”. I remember how my father and I gave my mother a coffee maker. And she said it would be better if we bought coffee maker.

In general, since my childhood, I knew that there were people who like functional gifts, like my mother, and people who like experiments. And I’m more of them. For a long time it seemed to me that it would be cool to give something like a master class in pottery, hang gliding or horse riding. In other words, it must be some kind of action. A material gift may not be appreciated, may not be suitable, may be lost, broken, but the experience given will remain engraved in the person’s memory forever.

And I also think it’s not shameful to ask your friends to chip in for a big gift if you really want something. And then you use it and you think, “Wow, this is my support system. »

In the past, gifts were a way to get something you couldn’t afford to buy yourself. For example, when I was a child, they would never have bought me a tape recorder like that, but they gave it to me for my birthday. And now I’m an adult. And all these things that I receive as gifts, I can buy for myself. However, I never receive very expensive gifts, like a car. That is, I understand that the financial capabilities of people who give me gifts are approximately the same as mine. Therefore, I don’t expect them to start giving me something I can’t afford, as was the case in my childhood. It seems to me that awareness of this parallel helps to level the attitude towards gifts so as not to be disappointed with them.
