How to Choose a Gift
Some of you should have this kind of experience: You gave someone a gift and he or she smiled after hesitating for 3 seconds. Then an awkward atmosphere followed. This inconvenient situation can be avoided if you follow certain steps. First, become an observer. Look at someone carefully that you want to give a present. All you need is, not a keen power of observation but some time to find out what he or she likes, wants, or needs. You are able to catch it even in a small talk. Next, according to an observation, make a gift list. It is easy to see when you draw a table. Divide the table into 2 categories: "need" and "like/want", respectively for the things that are urgently necessary and for what they crave for. It is also good when you can include what is helpful for refining their interests or habits. Then, search for the price of each present. Those who do not earn money or have enough money cannot afford an expensive, brand-new car like Audi. The best way is to buy a present within each one's budget. After you narrow down your range of gifts, choose one that you think most impressive. It can be such a practical one or a DIY present. Even you may write a letter. When your special people are moved to tears with runny nose as soon as you hand your gift to them, you will be also happy to watch their wonderful reactions.
I had that experience, in my case it was me who gave a pause after receiving a present.. haha. For the first step i can totally understand because i wrote that in my writing too, so I like you wrote is as the 'obeserver' You used order words well such as First, Next, Then, AFter, so it was easy to understand the progress. It would be better if you changed 'according to an observation' into 'based on your observation' And if you add more information in the first part like why the atmosphere gone awkward by saying the receiver did not like the present.
