Whatever the occasion, when there’s a gift to be given, there are brownie points to be made. Unfortunately, too often these hard-to-come by points can be lost in the plethora of presents given in an attempt to cover all bases.
The rule is 1 significant present should always be enough. A friend recently bought an expensive necklace for his girlfriend, spending a good chunk of his monthly beer fund. Realising she also loved her fashion mags, he considered getting a 1 year Madison subscription. Heads up – the minute he adds this into the mix, it detracts the value of the necklace and makes it seem cheaper. Save yourself the money and present the necklace as a stand-alone.
Brownie Points PA memo: You shouldn’t need to buy bits and pieces to add to the ‘main present’ if you’ve chosen well or bought something significant enough.
