Invited for dinner or for a celebration?

We are often invited to dinner or for a celebration. It can be just a dinner hosted by friends, a graduation party, a housewarming or a career move. No matter the reason we cannot show up empty-handed.

So … bring another bottle of wine, flowers, or what? While flowers and wine are often appreciated (the wine strictly if good!) these types of gifts won’t be making a lasting impression on the recipient nor will they spoke about you.

Everyone usually will bring wine for him and flowers for her, sadly often without a greeting card!

With a little more effort, we can show your appreciation for the invitation with a small gift, provided we are mindful of certain attributes that shall be reflected in our gift.

• Useful: Make sure the gift serves a purpose and is helpful to the recipient. Gifts shall also be chosen with the gender of the recipient in mind.
• Exude quality: Don’t kill your good intention with a cheap and shoddy gift. Give something that will make your friend think that you cared.

Another bottle of wine, often recycled won’t do the trick.

• Personalized: Never forget to include a personal note of thanks or congratulations with each gift.
• Get the name/s right: Receiving a gift with the name spelled wrongly mortifies any good intention you had.
• Respectful of cultural differences: If you don’t know well the host, remember that every customer is different and has cultural and religious preferences. Keep those in mind when selecting your gift.

Once you have chosen your gifts, set a timeline. Ensure your deadline aligns with delivery dates and remember all components of a gift: the physical gift, a card, packaging and wrapping paper, shipping and delivery time
