Hyung-Il Kim / buying a special gift / wed 11a.m.

several steps for buying a special gift

 

When we buy a gift for someone special, we should consider about what he or she needs or wants first. However you give valuable presents, if he or she don't need them or don't like them, the effect of presents would be reduced. For example, high-price soccer shoes are useless for baseball fan and rare flowers wouldn't make feel happy the man who is dull. So when we choose a gift for special someone, consider of hobby or taste about that person and think about the person's needs or wants.

Secondly, we have to choose proper price range of the gift. Although we chose great gift, if the price is too high, we don't have enough money to buy it. And too high-price gift can make uncomfortable the person who receive it. So when you choose the gift, find several similar items you want to buy as a gift and then choose the item that has proper price.

Third, when you choose a gift, buying practical item is better then just esthetic things. When I was young, I usually buy flowers as a gift. However, I became know that people prefer practical items that they can use to just beautiful things that only can see. Also if you give practical item, the receiver would recall you when he or she use that. But esthetic items more easily forgotten.

In conclusion, when you choose special gift for someone, you should take care of the receiver's needs and wants, the price of the gift and whether the gift is practical or not. If you carefully consider these things and give the gift for special someone, it evidently make he or she happy and satisfied.

  1. I like your writing because you suggest appropriate examples. I agree with "rare flowers wouldn't make happy the man who is dull". Also it is good point that a receiver given too expensive gift might be uncomfortable. However, just in my opinion, I wonder that pratical item is better that esthetic one. Although item itself is easily worn out, giving asthetic one can be more powerful to make receiver happy than giving practical one. I think it is case by case, according to receiver's age and predisposition. By the way, it would be better if you expain clearly or giving some examles what asthetic item is and delete repetition of conclusion -it seems unnecessary- your writing would be better.

Because esthetic items are treated more preciously and carefully then practical things and be kept longer time.
    So when you choose the special gift, think carefully about the receiver prefer practical thing or esthetic thing.
