The Thrill of Gifting

THE GLORIOUS THRILL OF GIFTING AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU

A gift expresses affection and strengthens bonds—whether it’s love, friendship, or appreciation for the other person. But let’s be real: when Deborah from Accounting is your Secret Santa or you’re shopping for a nihilist niece glued to her phone all through dinner, the truth comes out. We’ve ALL given a gift with questionable ethics. Today, we present a list of our little sins disguised under pretty paper and ribbons:

THE 11 MOST COMMON TYPES OF BEAUTIFUL BUT QUESTIONABLE GIFTS:

THE BOOMERANG GIFT:

The kind of gift you give… because you expect something in return 😉. Practiced by politicians, emperors, and even your building superintendent. If your partner shows up with a very large box… brace yourself.

THE SHOW-OFF GIFT:

A true Christmas superpower is spending little while making it look fabulous. A fancy-looking vase from the dollar store or a 3-for-2 shampoo pack dressed up as a “DIY spa set”… Voilà. 

THE PASS-IT-ALONG:

Legend has it some gifts have made the rounds of the entire family. Moving from drawer to drawer, year after year, to be re-gifted. Even second-hand websites wouldn’t take these.

THE SELF-GIFT:

A blanket, a streaming subscription with multiple profiles, a massage book (so you get the massages)… Subtle or not, the intention is crystal clear. 

BIGGER IS BETTER:

Let’s be honest, unless it’s jewelry, boobs, or… certain body parts… we all love big boxes. Some people wrap gifts like Russian nesting dolls just to exploit this. Big is better… or so they say. 

THE ART-ATTACK GIFT: 

Gifts like handmade paintings, crafts, or anything that takes hours and can’t be returned. Beware of gifts from kids—they’re emotional landmines you can’t throw away without risking tears. 

THE VICTIM GIFT: 

Someone gives you a rare, expensive item from a faraway country, and you… hand over a last-minute gas station gift set. Happens every year, smells like trouble every time. 

THE HINT GIFT: 

A gym membership, a fancy skincare set (😉), or a self-help book. Some gifts scream “not-so-subtle criticism” depending on who they’re for. 

THE “PLOT HOLE” GIFT: 

These start with, “Remember when you once said you liked a song by that band?” and end with, “So I got you a Spanish guitar course!” Cue the “WTF” face. 

“I WIN” GIFT:

The ridiculously expensive wine, the Japanese knife set, or the smart speaker that nags you to hydrate. There’s always someone whose sole purpose is to outshine everyone else. 

THE THEATRICAL GIFT:

These gifts come with more drama than a Netflix series. Exaggerated expressions of surprise for a sweater, or over-the-top “Just what I needed!” reactions to socks. You get the idea. 

In the end, that’s what Christmas is all about: gifts, emotions, and good intentions. And let’s be honest—the best part of gifting is keeping the discount coupon to buy something for yourself 😈 (Just kidding… or am I?).
 
So, have you got your gifts ready? If not, remember: gift cards (like SIWON’s) are always an option. If the thrill of gifting wears off, at least you’ll know you did your best to make their holiday brighter.
