Who doesn’t love receiving thoughtful presents during Diwali? We all admire that relative who manages to pick the perfect gifts for everyone, don’t we all want to be like her? But the question remains how!
The art of gifting thoughtfully also depends on how well you understand the person, their age-group, personality, and personal choices. This is mostly easy for kids, teens, and young adults. The regular marketing for these age-groups via advertisements also helps in gauging the current trends and their preferences. But what do you gift to the senior adults of the family?
- We can’t be sure about their preferences, especially for products that they might not be aware of, for example, new gadgets.
- The things they enjoyed or liked might not be available in the market.
- They usually have all that they need.
