I t
is amazing how much thought someone will put into picking out
the perfect present, yet uses very little imagination
on how to give it. In many ways, the presentation of a gift
is just as important as the item itself. Imagine buying someone
a gold ring and leaving it on the kitchen counter with a note
that says, "Thought you might like this." Or contrast
that with the gift of a ring hidden inside a rosebud that will
"magically" appear as rose blossoms in sunlight.
The next time you are giving a gift, consider presenting it
in a creative or meaningful way. Try these out for a change:
Tie a string all through the house, beginning at the location
where the gift is hidden. You can also attach small gifts
all along the string as a teaser for the big present at the
end. Try this and see the smile come on your loved one's face!
Another way in which you could give presents is by having
him/her find them. Write about seven or so clues, which lead
from one written clue to the next, until the final clue leads
to the hidden gift.
If you want to go all out on the "treasure hunt" theme,
you can give a tape in the "Mission Impossible" style with
instructions or clues on how to locate the missing gift.
So, there are dozens and dozens of ways in which you can transform
the presentation of even an ordinary gift into a truly romantic
or memorable occasion. Just a little bit of "thinking"
can do the magic and you will realise how easy it is to charm
a person!
