[摘要]圣誕節買禮物是一件很棘手的事,要買多少錢的?是否買收禮人不想要的禮物,出其不意?是否要給點頭之交的鄰居買點小禮物?這些都是需要考量的問題。 ![]() YOUR FRIENDS 給朋友的禮物 Spend: £10-15 花銷:10-15英鎊 Friends can often be closer than family, but this also means you should be understanding of each other's financial constraints. 朋友通常比家人更親密,但這也意味著你應當了解彼此的經濟有限。 'My close friends and I now have a pact about the size of the Christmas gift we give each other,' tells Diana. 'What with partners, children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces, not to mention great nephews and nieces – life can become really expensive! “現在,我和我的密友們已經就互贈圣誕節禮物的大小達成了協定。”黛安娜說。“考慮到要給伴侶們、孩子們、孫子們、侄子女們買禮物,這還沒算上孫侄子女們——生活開銷真的很大! 'Friends should realise this. Decide your limits and then try to find a really fun gift. After all, that is what it is all about - giving - and a pot of home-made jam can give as much pleasure as something much more expensive.' “朋友們應當意識到這點。制定支出限度,然后嘗試找到一份真正有趣的禮物。畢竟,那才是圣誕節禮物的意義所在——給予。另外,一罐自制果醬會帶來很多快樂,與比其貴重得多的東西帶來的快樂相比,沒有什么兩樣。” The rules are there are no rules 準則就是沒有準則 These are your friends, so you'll either know exactly what they want already, or are happy to ask them outright - and either is fine. 這些是你的朋友,因此你要么已經知道他們想要什么了,要么能夠愉快坦率地問出口——兩者均可。 'Here we can generalise that an open approach of explicit gift requests, mutual budgets or surprise gifts are welcome,' says Karina. “在這里我們可以推論出,光明正大、毫不隱諱的禮物請求,保持一致的預算或者令人驚喜的禮物都是受歡迎的。”卡琳娜說。 'You likely know them far better, and their interests, than the remainder of the people on your gift buying list and probably feel far more comfortable discussing what’s on each of your most wanted lists,' she adds. “你可能了解他們還有他們的興趣比了解你送禮名單上的其他人更甚,而且在討論你們各自最想要的東西清單時,可能會覺得更為自在。”她補充道。 Good gift ideas 送禮佳品 A spa day for you to share; unusual jewellery; handmade soap; scarf; scented candle; subscription to a magazine; beauty products; wine or any alcohol! 共同享受spa一天;獨特的珠寶;手工皂;圍巾;香薰蠟燭;雜志訂閱;美容產品;葡萄酒或其他酒! Bad gift ideas 送禮餿品 You can't go far wrong if you put some thought into it. 只要你花心思在上面就不會出什么大差錯。 |
