The highest anxiety moment in the holiday season must be the moment just before your loved ones unwrap their gifts. The ribbon comes untied, the paper falls to the floor—what will their expression be?【C1】______out the right gift can be very difficult, and we can easily make mistakes.
Before【C2】______a gift, we all ask ourselves two questions: How much to spend and what to get.【C3】______both questions are complex, the more complex one by far is what to get. We may not know the exact【C4】______of the other person;【C5】______we know what kind of gift they would absolutely love, we might still not know the exact color, size, etc.【C6】______these risks, giving an ill-suited gift risks showing the other person exactly how little we really know them. And from there the path to a【C7】______relationship is short
The risk of giving the wrong thing is【C8】______gift givers often end up giving consumables such as wine and chocolate. After all, these are unlikely to be the "wrong" gift for anyone. But there’s a【C9】______: These safe gifts are not very "gifty" and are unlikely to strengthen our relationship with the recipient【C10】______, when we give jewelry, art, or furniture, we take a risk that the other person will not like the【C11】______. But these risky gifts are more "gifty" and, if they are successful, will【C12】______their goal of strengthening the social【C13】______between the person giving the gift and the person【C14】______it.
So how much risk do most gift givers take? Not surprisingly, the majority of givers don’t risk giving more risky gifts. But were they right in playing it【C15】______? In short: They were not. A research showed that, in general, gift givers don’t【C16】______how much others will enjoy their gift.【C17】______, gift receivers preferred the riskier gift and wished that gift givers took more【C18】______.
So perhaps this holiday season we should put an extra effort into gift giving. Let’s throw caution to the winds,【C19】______the wine, chocolates, and gift certificates and give real gifts. The biggest risk is being【C20】______.
【C2】
