Always say thank you for the present and mean it. Even if you hate the gift itself, you should be grateful for the time the giver spent in the shops. To make the “thank you” even more meaningful, avoid generic remarks and say something about the specific gift they offered you.
If someone thanks you for a gift, you can respond with any of the following: ``You're welcome.'' ``It was my pleasure.'' ``Glad you liked it.'' ``No problem, happy to do it.'' ``Anytime, happy to make you smile.'' ``It was nothing, just wanted to show you I care.'' ``I'm glad it found a good home.''
Express Joy: ``I'm so happy to give you this!'' Share the Thought Behind the Gift: ``I saw this and thought of you because...'' Wish Them Happiness: ``I hope this brings you as much joy as you bring to my life.'' Encourage Enjoyment: ``I hope you enjoy it!'' Keep it Simple: ``Just a little something for you.''
