Choosing the Right Gift for Your Sister
When it comes to purchasing gifts, it is probably easier to buy for your sister than someone else simply because you know them in a way you may not know other women in your life.
Taking the time to choose a gift that reflects her likes, hobbies, and interests shows her that you care about her and what makes her happy. No one feels good opening a gift that looks like it was just grabbed last minute.
We have listed some tips and things to think about when it comes to choosing the right gift for your sister. Keeping these things in mind makes the whole process something that can be enjoyed rather than something that you dread or stress about.
Dos and Don’ts to Remember
DO…
- Give yourself plenty of time to find the right gift for your sister. Rushing is the biggest reason people end up purchasing something that the recipient won’t like or use. It is also what causes people to spend too much money on a gift without meaning to. Having plenty of time to do the proper research will enable you to find the right gift at the right price.
- Fit the gift to the occasion. There are occasions that would call for a gift that is more expensive and occasions that don’t call for a lot of money to be spent. This doesn’t mean buy something cheap by any means, but purchasing a gift for a promotion is not on the same level as purchasing a birthday or Christmas gift.
- Decide on the budget you want to stick to. Budgets are very good ways to keep yourself from spending too much money. Once you have set your budget, unless there is a REALLY good reason not to, make sure that you stick to it. You will feel better about the gift if you have not put yourself in financial stress to get it.
- Factor in her likes, hobbies and interests when you are researching gifts. If she loves to write, a journal is a perfect gift that she will love and use often. If she spends hours baking, purchase something that she has always wanted to have for her baking hobby. Using these things to help you decide on the type of gift almost guarantees that she is going to love whatever you give her.
DON’T…
- Purchase something TOO useful. You want your sister to enjoy and use the gift your purchase for her but there is a difference in buying something she uses for enjoyment and something that is related to chores. Let her purchase her own chore related items unless she has REALLY expressed a sincere desire to have something of that nature and tells you exactly what it is. Otherwise, look for things that she can use for enjoyment.
- Purchase something YOU like, hoping she will too simply because you’re sisters. Even if you are twins, you’re going to have your own likes and dislikes. It is best to stick to the things that you know she loves rather than trying to introduce her to things that you may like.
Gift buying is all about the person you are buying for. You want your sister to be excited when she sees what you have gotten her and that is not difficult to achieve if you keep the above pointers in mind.
You will find that she loves what you have chosen and will use it a lot. Knowing that you have made her happy is the greatest gift you will receive as well.
