Truism 1: Never accept any gift that was not required or desired. A gift is a form of debt creation or emotional blackmail.
Truism 2: People give gifts to gratify themselves, not the receiver of the gift. People want to feel good about giving it. A splendid giver want to be praised by the quality of the gift, a cheap giver want to be praised by the gift.
Truism 3: People that give gifts want something in return. There will be an expectation of something in return. Let it be another equal or better quality or value gift or blind gratitude to the giver.
Truism 4: People will try to place more value on the intention of the giver than on the actual usefulness or desire of the receiver of the gift. The giver wants the intention to be more important than the practicality of the gift. A receiver of the gift that does not appreciate the gift is labeled as ungrateful.
Truism 5: A truly concerned person would ask the receiver of the gift what they like, what they need and what is useful for them. People that do not do this, do not appreciate the receiver of the gift, as such they and their gift must be reject.
