4 Tips to Ensure Your Gift is Remembered

There is nothing more disappointing than putting a lot of thought and energy into a gift only to have it mislaid or the card lost. Here are some tips to ensure your gift will have the right effect and not be lost amongst other gifts.

1. Choose a convenient time to deliver your gift. Make sure there will be enough time for the recipient to accept the gift and acknowledge it with their full attention.
   
   A gift is less likely to be remembered if it is the one shoved into already full arms when the person is distracted by something else.
   
   
2. Don't insist that the gift be opened immediately in front of you. Some people are uncomfortable doing so. Respect this, no matter how excited you are.



3. Wrap the card inside the gift wrap, especially for wedding gifts. Cards can so easily become detached.
   
   
4. Mention the details of the gift when you next meet. Catching out someone who has a bad memory for who gave them which gift does nothing to promote the abundant feeling the gift was intended to evoke. If they did forget, their gratitude at your subtle reminder will ensure it sticks in their memory after all.
