I am tasked by my two colleagues in our department to look for a wedding gift that we will give to our boss in his wedding day. And as the only lady in the department, they asked me to purchase the gift according to my preferences and idea, so they give me all the freedom what to choose huh,… well, I feel obliged and I tried my best to get the perfect wedding gift.. hehe, kind of difficult.
For me, special occasions like weddings can be a way to express how well you know either the bride or the groom by acquiring a wedding gift that suits them… I come up some guidelines before I rummage my favorite malls for a wedding gift:
- Discuss to my friends their idea of a wedding gift – and of course I got a ‘you-are-the-expert-it’s-up-to-you’ answer.
- Review my notes as to how well I know my boss – one thing I know of him is that he is fond of travelling and he got lots of native and unique things in his desk and even in his house, hhmm..
- Ask my hubby’s opinion since he is also my personal adviser – and indeed I got lots of ideas from him, like; “do not dare give any home accessories, let the couple decide how to design their homes, your gift might end up out of the picture…”
- Canvass and lots of canvassing – I end up from one store to another until I found the one I think perfect for the couple…
I have the gift beautifully wrapped now for the wedding this afternoon… I learned one thing when I had my wedding too – that wedding gift is nothing without the presence of the giver.
