# Gifts #Unfinished How much a gift is appreciated = how much we needed the thing x how much effort was put into the gift People prefer wrapped things. Suggestion... write down who gave you what gift. It is helpful to show them appreciation in the future. (it has been hard to remember for example who gave what board game) If you could give the same gift to someone you don't know, chances are it is not a particularly thoughtful gift. ## Gifts that tend to fall flat tend to be... - generic (Ex. gift cards) - have no specific reason why they are well suited to the receiver (ex. random bored game to a person who isn't particularly into board games)
