It’s generally my advice to givers to pick gifts that are at least somewhat practical. No matter how clever, funny and creative your gift idea is, if the recipient doesn’t get any ownership value out of it they won’t like it.

A gift should enhance your recipient’s life in some way. That’s what matters to them. Givers focus on the moment of the exchange and their recipient’s reaction so they try to pick something thoughtful and with meaning. Recipients, on the other hand, don’t think about your efforts much.

Things like these make good gifts because they’re practical and everyone has a use for them sometime.
