Gifts That Speak Louder Than Their Price Tags
Gifts That Speak Louder Than Their Price Tags
When your getting to know someone and things are going smoothly, one of the best ways to win a person over a bit more is by gifting them.
No, the gift doesn't have to be lavish or even in the hundreds, but it will require some preparation . . . in thoughtfulness.
What inspired this post?
That hair clip that you see.
It was gifted to me from Mimi.
I had met Mimi when I stayed in Turkey for 3 months. We happened to have similar backgrounds in Civil Engineering and we both happened to be in Fethiye for the same amount of time.
When our departure date came closer, Mimi gifted me this hair clip and she said,
"I noticed you like yellow because you wore a lot of yellow."
I was so taken aback. Not by the gift itself, but the thoughtfulness that she put into picking out the color specifically for me.
The cost of the hair clip.
$1 USD.
How did that gift make me feel?
Like my happiness and what I like was important to Mimi . . . and that feeling was priceless.
So how do you gift someone you're getting to know for marriage with something to make them feel priceless even though the gift itself isn't valuable?
Here is a list of SEVEN gift ideas that speak louder than their price tag (and show you care and have been listening):
From day 1 listen to what they say they like. Maybe it is a favorite:
#1 - Coffee spot
#2 - Chocolate bar
#3 - Color
Maybe it is something you mentioned you love and they never tried. So things like:
#4 - Your favorite dish
#5 - Favorite drink
#6 - Your favorite past time hobby as a kid
Or simply:
#7 - Something that made you think of them
All of these gifts can be valued at less than $20.
Perfect for the bank account and great for winning over someone you're getting to know for marriage. It's a win-win.
PS Ladies, you're allowed to gift the brothers you're interested in as well. 😉
