Why a Thank You Gift is Important?
A thank you is a simple way to say that you acknowledge the person who has helped you. A thank you gift is given as a sign of respect and to express gratitude. It is important to recognise and appreciate the efforts of someone who has done something for you. It not only gives happiness to the receiver of the gift but also shows that they are special to you. It’s a way to express your feelings and gifts usually make everyone feel good. People feel motivated and relationships are strengthened when they are offered gifts with a thank you.
How to Decide on a Thank You Gift?
Your Relationship with the Women You Are Giving the Gift
Gifts are a sweet reminder to let your loved ones know that you love and care for them. However, be mindful of the relationship you share with the women. If you want to show love to your partner then you know that gift has to be a special one and she should cherish it for a long. You can always thank your mother/sister with a more personal gift (as you know their likes and dislikes) for the endless love and care they shower on you. The gift should look professional if you are giving it to your female colleague/boss (as it should not give a wrong impression).
Reason for Giving the Gift
While the reason for giving a gift can be anything like birthday, wedding, anniversary, baby shower, to celebrate an achievement or as an expression of love. A gift for a job well done by a colleague or going out with the family to create life-long memories or a surprise gift to family and friends for no reason whatsoever.
A thank you gift is given when you consider someone special or they have done something for you on multiple occasions. It can be to your parents, teachers, friends, siblings and others who owe a thank you to you. It’s always a win-win situation for both the giver and the receiver. Sometimes we don’t even look for a reason to present the gift if we want to give it to someone we love and care about.
Your Budget
You already know about plenty of opportunities/occasions to give someone a thank you gift. As it is your choice to give a gift with a thank you, you shouldn’t feel over-burdened because of the budget. There are multiple factors that decide the budget, like your relationship and the age of the women. Women appreciate the gesture of giving thoughtful and meaningful gifts more than an expensive but less-needed gift. The gift itself carries more value than the price of the gift.
It's always better to set a monthly/annual budget for gifts. If you are giving it to the special women in your life like your life partner, mother or a special friend then you might know their choice too. It becomes easier to select the type of gift according to their prices. Forgiving a gift to a colleague the budget can be limited to ₹ 300.00 or below ₹ 500.00. You can increase the budget depending on the terms you have with the person. Also, don’t compromise on the quality of the gift.

- Don’t give clothes/personal items as gifts as these are a very personal affair and some people might not like it. However, if you buy these then give them an option to exchange it, if it doesn’t fit them or they don’t like it. Similarly, don’t gift a book to a non-reader.
- Do consider the age of the receiver. Like gifting a gadget to an elderly person is not a good idea unless she is a techno-freak.
- Remove the price tag of the gift irrespective of its price.
- The gift should be useful for the person. if you know that they are in need of something and its within your budget then you can surely buy that gift.
- Sometimes you can give an experience as a thank you gift rather than a thing. You can plan a party or go on a vacation with her.
- If you are buying the gift online then always check for a better price or compare with other shopping sites to avail discount coupons/less priced products.
The most important point to remember is, the receiver should feel valued & happy. Both of you should feel satisfied as it definitely deepens the bond you share. Also, always present the gift with a smile and don’t expect anything in return.
