But it doesn't have to be that way. The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the recipient. 一想到自己列好巨长的购物清单、去商场排长队再掏钱买礼物，换来的大抵不过是对方用5分钟拆开礼物丝带与包装纸，买节日礼物便让人略微感到空虚。但送礼不必都得这样。以下的几个小窍门能使送礼对双方都感到更有意义。 1. Know the person 1. 了解收礼物的人 The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is it shows that you really know the person well, and you really care about them. That generally means tailoring the gift to the recipient. 在交换礼物时最重要的是要让其显露出你真的对此人非常了解，以及你很关心他们。这通常意味着专门为Ta挑选礼物。 It's also important to consider practicality. A 2017 study found that gift-giving participants focus too much on the desirability of potential gifts. Actually the recipient participants preferred the more practical option. 考虑到礼物的实用性也很重要。一项2017年的研究调查发现，在受访者中，送礼物的一方更关注送对方想要得到的礼物。而实际上，受访者中收礼物的一方更偏向于较实用的礼物。 |
