The skill of gift giving is one that almost every adult is going to need to develop at some point. If you have friends, family, coworkers or even casual acquaintances then you will have occasions where it will be expected you’ll give a gift or two. Some people are natural born gift givers, selecting the perfect present for everyone in their life with ease. However, many of us struggle to think of or find great gifts that will be genuinely appreciated by every recipient. Fortunately, there are a few simple ways you can help improve your gifting skills to impress everyone when it comes time to exchange presents.
While there are many simple tricks to learn and helpful tips to consider while trying to improve your gifting ability, there is no one size fits all solution. Everyone goes about purchasing presents in different ways, and learning to improve your skills in this area will likely involve focusing on different things for different people.
Present presentation
When it comes to giving a present, looks do matter. The style and decoration of a gift may not do anything to change the substance inside, but it’s an important part of gifting nonetheless. Taking the extra step to wrap your gift shows how much you care, and adds another layer of love to every gift.
Take note
Opportunities and ideas for potential presents appear all the time, if only you’re paying attention. Keep your eyes open for comments your friends make throughout the year, which may indicate things they want or are looking at. Even if there’s no holiday coming up soon, making a note for whenever the next one arrives is always a good practice.
Put them first
Gift giving isn’t about you, it’s about the recipient of the gift. When considering what presents to buy for a friend or family member, it’s important to stop thinking about the kind of gift you would want and put their needs first. Whether that means providing a gift receipt so they can exchange it or purchasing a present you don’t quite understand, your gift needs to be solely about what they want and not how you feel about it.
One of the most important things to keep in mind as you shop for gifts is that just like any skill, no one is going to be perfect at it. Cut yourself some slack and try not to put so much pressure on yourself and every gift you purchase. You’ll wind up feeling panicked and may turn what is intended to be a fun occasion for celebration into a nightmare for yourself. Gift giving is an art, not a science. There’s no formula to follow to guarantee success. Try your best and as long as you genuinely care you can’t go wrong.
As usual delivery was prompt and no sooner was it delivered than I received a heartfelt thank you with an expression of how beautiful the flowers and basket were.
I was concerned about the basket arriving in 2 business days because the recipient was leaving, I emailed My Baskets and they said it would get there on time and it did! Everyone enjoyed all the goodies. I was a great gift!
I was not able to open the basket itself as it was a gift for someone but it looked great nonetheless ☺️ service and delivery was really good too. Will definitely order again if i need to send another great gift basket 🫶🏻 thank you!!!
Good Experience as always.
Thank you! The recipient of the gift was delighted.
Thank you! The recipient's favorite drink is Prosecco.
Our grandsons live a long distance from us, so we were not together on Thanksgiving this year.
They were thrilled with the basket of cookies and snacks that we sent to them.
My friend called me to say the basket was just lovely. They seemed quite satisfied said that there was a variety of different things in it which was nice.
The basket was amazing. The chocolate, cookies and wine top notch. Also received great service, in correcting the shipping address, day if delivery

This is my 3rd order for baskets. Love them and my gift receivers also love the gifts. Only thing I'd love to see are maybe smaller less expensive baskets for small gifts.
The website was easy to order from, the delivery (same day) was fast, and the basket and flowers exceeded our expectations.
I sent this basket as a gift to family members. They are in awe of how beautiful the basket is and are loving the different treats!
I order regularly and love this service.
Good customer service, smooth delivery, nice gift
