The occasion:

There are certainly thousands of occasions to give something, so we would like to name a few.

Annual Events

eg for a birthday, birth, gifts for Christmas, Easter, St. Nicholas, Valentine's Day, Day, Women's, Children's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day

Not annual events

eg for the golden wedding, silver wedding, a company jubilee,

Special Occasions

such as Engagement, wedding, birth, baptism, youth initiation, communion, for Back to School

Gift of life situations

e.g. Parting gifts, gift as an apology, a gift as an inducement, a parting gift, to recovery, to collect gifts, gifts as a reward, gifts of love, welcome gift

The gender:

Should not really be that difficult, unless you want a gift for the birth and do not know what it is. Then there are only three possibilities: A (n) spy (in) after birth, send or call in the hospital, so perhaps they will pass on data protection. The secret with trick questions elicit. A neutral gift buying.

Formal or friendly;

Of course, it is not just good, they give the boss a bra, even though this was very expensive. Here it is especially important that people be informed of the interests. The gift should be in the middle, because too expensive looks for bribery or A.. crawl out. Too cheap a certain indifference shows, unless they themselves have a lot of work invested in the gift.

Age

is one of the most important aspects should respect the man. This is particularly important in gifts for children or adolescents. In children, the industry will help us a bit on the jumps, because the most toys have a recommended age group. Unfortunately, it is difficult for the teenagers, because they are more demanding and often have little understanding of an inappropriate gift. Hard to find good gifts here, but when it deals a little with the interests of teens, you can find quickly the right gift. In the case of the older generation is no longer so crucial, although there should be the point of advancing more attention.

Interests and hobbies

are the key words for gifts. I want to give this issue but deal still not too intense, and only a few thought-provoking.
Reading - book or a book token
Cycling - Gloves, money belt, wind jacket, map of bike paths
Football - Ticket for a game, a ball, calendars, memorabilia,
Dancing - tickets for a tournament, such as dance lessons Salsa, disco visit, concert ticket
Music - CD's favorite band, tickets for a concert, Fashion, Cooking - cookbook, special spice mixture, invitation to TV Cooking Club.

Obnoxious Gifts

Women: Household and kitchen utensils, clothing (except when she expressed a wish), candy
Men: socks, ties, clothing and underwear
Tip: Cash gifts are impersonal, especially the small ones. :-)
