As the cold weather arrives, the Christmas spirit becomes stronger and stronger.
Are you already worried about exchanging gifts?
"What kind of gift should I give so that it won't be awkward?"
🤔 The secret of gift-giving: will it enhance your image or will it be a disaster?
A well-chosen gift can make you shine among your friends, while a perfunctory choice may make you be blocked by everyone. Although exchanging gifts is fun, it is also full of difficulties and challenges! Instead of just picking something in a similar price range, it is better to spend some time thinking about it and give a decent and practical gift to earn some image points for yourself!
The editor has compiled a list of the most unwelcome gifts you would like to receive , and provided Christmas gift selection tips and gift recommendations, so that you can amaze everyone at this year's gift exchange party!
💣 If you give me this gift again, we will end our friendship! Blacklist of exchange gifts you don’t want to receive
When the package was unpacked , the fire went out instantly and the expression was stiff , which made people wonder if last year's gift had gone through a cycle and was being given away again . Or, you may be pleasantly surprised when you receive it, but as soon as you get home you throw it in a corner and it starts gathering dust .
Have you ever received any of the following landmine gifts, or bought them as gifts for others?
☕ Mug
"Who's home still needs a mug?"
Mugs are obviously very practical! But the problem is that everyone has so many mugs at home that they are overflowing . Some are used as pen holders or to grow succulents! It's 2024 and you're still giving me mugs, are you sure?
🧸 Plush doll
"There is a high chance that it will become an allergen in the room."
Plush dolls are common gifts in exchange. Although they are very healing, not everyone likes them . Not only do they take up space and are difficult to clean, the unloved dolls end up in the recycling truck in tears.
🎅 Full of Christmas items
"It was so embarrassing after the festival, so I had to put it away."
Snowmen go with Santa Claus, bright red goes with bright green, and glitter goes with glitter. These festive little items are charming at parties, but it is difficult to integrate them into real life, and the exaggerated patterns greatly reduce the willingness to use them .
🧤 Scarf and gloves
"Styles, sizes, all kinds of landmines are so easy to step on."
Clothing accessories are practical, but there is the issue of size . Secondly, for those who value dressing, they have already bought the styles that suit them, so there is a high chance that the ones they draw in the gift exchange will be a dud . Even if you choose a classic style, it's still boring.
🖐️Hand Cream
"You can't think of what to give as a gift, right?"
It is just the right size for your budget, small in size, tasteful and practical. It can be regarded as a classic in the gift exchange world, but it is also almost rotten after receiving it so many times . "Why is it hand cream again?" Besides, if you receive a scent you don't like, you can only give it to someone else.
📅 Calendar
“I’m not using it.”
Many people record their itineraries in apps. Although there are people who are used to using paper calendars, by the end of December, they have already bought the ones for next year. As for those who don’t use calendars, they won’t be able to use them even if they are given to them, and they will expire.
🤪 Funny Gifts
"The most embarrassing humor is the one that doesn't make you laugh."
Everyone else got nice gifts, but I got a huge cockroach pillow. I wonder how much psychological trauma I suffered. The result of thinking that you are humorous is that the atmosphere drops to freezing point , and the friendship is in danger of capsizing.
⛔ Help to avoid gift pitfalls: Don’t give gifts if they meet the following points!
- Perfunctory and cheap : insincere, careless, and obviously picked randomly.
- High repetition rate : I receive similar gifts every year, with nothing new.
- Wearable accessories : It’s hard to choose the size and it’s easier to go wrong with the style.
- Pure decoration : It is impractical, takes up space, and will only gather dust in the future.
- Strong Christmas style : the color style is abrupt and affects daily use.
- Thinking you are funny : trying to be funny but going too far and making the atmosphere awkward.
Friends who received these embarrassing gifts said thank you with a smile, but in their hearts they had already started thinking about how to deal with them...
😥 Can’t I give this as a gift? Gift exchange selection suggestions!
“Isn’t that too difficult? I just want to give a gift that won’t get people rolling their eyes…”
After reading this, have you started to complain silently and decided to never participate in a gift exchange again in your life?
In fact, as long as you avoid those choices that are most likely to go wrong and change your mindset, choosing gifts can become fun and effortless!
❓ Send a cup? Yes, but the style must be right
Why are mugs so hated? Mainly because it looks too cheap and casual.
If you really want to give a cup as a gift, you can consider a cup with a better sense of design , such as an exquisite retro glass cup, or a more practical environmentally friendly traveling cup, coupled with a discount of 5 yuan if you bring your own cup . Who wouldn’t love this practical and considerate gift?
❓ Have personality? No problem, just remember to have the right taste
At a Christmas party, everyone looks forward to someone giving some interesting gifts to liven up the atmosphere.
But "special" does not mean "bad taste"! If you want to go for a personalized style, you need to spend more time on the appearance or function. Unique and practical original design products can make people look at you with new eyes. If you want to be a minority, you have to be outstanding!
❓ Send a gift for the occasion? Yes, but the atmosphere is good.
The bright red and green Christmas colors are really too much.
If you want to add a sense of ceremony, you can choose small items with soft winter colors . They will create an atmosphere without being abrupt, and can be integrated into daily life, making the recipient like them more and more.
⚠️ Practicality is very important, very important, very important (say it three times
Items that often appear in the "gift area" such as photo frames, piggy banks, and music boxes may seem eye-catching, but the person who receives them may be full of question marks. Don’t fall into the trap of the word “gift” ! A truly great gift exchange is one that is so practical that you can’t help but use it every day!
