Some unspoken rules of gifting that should be clearer

  1. When someone gifts you something, be grateful. Even if it is something you would have thrown but they gifted it to you, be grateful. Like feel that gratitude.
  2. Do not criticise the gift if you don’t like it. It is always up to you if you don’t want to use it, but critique is an extreme emotion for a gift.
  3. If you receive an unexpected gift, be even more grateful. Even if you do not like it. Yes.
  4. If you like the gift, reach out to them again and tell them how or why you like it.
  5. Most importantly, make sure whenever you gift someone something, you either mean it well for them and think it might be useful to them. Or don’t do it.

Gifting is energy. So is the energy being sent on receiving the gift. They speak volumes more than the transaction. Make sure the volumes being given out are right. The transaction will take care of itself.
