Giving well

Grace is more valuable than price.

A good gift fits the relationship, respects boundaries and makes the recipient feel understood rather than indebted.

Match the occasion.
Keep workplace and new-relationship gifts modest.
Avoid assumptions.
Be cautious with health, fragrance, clothing size and highly personal items.
Include the receipt when useful.
Easy exchanges can be part of thoughtful giving.
Write one honest sentence.
Specific appreciation gives a small object lasting meaning.
