Make it a Christmas Gift to Remember

Shopping for holiday gifts is rarely easy, especially if you want to give something meaningful. We are committed to making your holiday shopping a little easier this year with some gift-giving ideas based on motives. By the way, you don’t have to break the bank to make a significant impact; it’s the thought that counts, and we’re helping you with the thinking. You just need to know their MVS (Motivational Value System).

Putting others first

Give something personal, appreciative, warm, and reflects how much you value your relationship with them. Consider a framed photo of the two of you together; their favorite food or drink; an experience you can share; a shirt or sweater in their favorite color; or a donation to their favorite charity that will be used to help others.

Getting things done quickly

Give something that might be viewed as a status symbol will help them succeed or improve their productivity in the future or an experience that gets them into action. Consider a book about their personal hero or a successful person they want to emulate; something that’s unique that few people have–perhaps from a faraway place they hope to visit; technology that will make them more efficient; or tickets to a game, concert, or completely new experience.

Making sure the right process is followed

Give something that reflects their desire to dig deep into an area of interest and engage some brain power, especially things that they can enjoy on their own. Consider books, puzzles, or crafts, as well as items that are complex and ultimately require a certain level of mastery to fully enjoy.

Encouraging others to succeed

Give something upbeat and fun that involves others. They will enjoy gifts that reflect their active, high-energy lifestyle. Consider something related to fitness, their goals or big dreams, or an experience with friends (i.e. a karaoke party, an evening at a comedy club, etc.). Avoid gifts that require a detailed focus (the 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle) or quiet, individual activities.

Helping others become self-sufficient

Give something quiet, understated, and not too flashy as they wouldn’t want to draw attention to themselves. Consider a gift that would support a special hobby or interest that they do alone, with a few close friends, or with people who share their particular interest. Avoid gifts or experiences that would make them stand out, leave their comfort zone, or go out on a limb.

Crafting winning strategies

Give something that’s a challenge and provides the opportunity to develop a winning strategy. They might enjoy games of skill like chess or certain video games, books about great thinkers or profound ideas, or new technology they can master. If you want to go for an experience, go for something that not everyone gets to do. They want to feel special and unique, not one of many.

Bringing all team perspectives together

Give something that can be enjoyed in a group by several people at the same time. Consider games that people can play together; anything that can be used at a party (cooking gear, wine glasses, or a bottle of wine); a night out with friends in an environment where it’s easy to interact and enjoy each other’s company.
