Sample Answers
What’s the best present or gift that you have ever received? One of the best gifts I've ever received was a personalized photo album from my family during my birthday. It was so special because it had pictures of all the fond memories we've shared together, and it really showed how much effort they put into making it. I loved it because it wasn't just a material gift, but something that held a lot of sentimental value.
Do you give expensive gifts? Honestly, I don't think it's necessary to give expensive gifts to show someone you care. What matters most to me is the thought and effort you put into choosing something that's meaningful to the person. That being said, if I know someone's been eyeing something pricey and it's within my budget, I might splurge a bit. But generally, I prefer to focus on finding something unique and personalized.
What kinds of things do you give others as gifts? I'm a big fan of giving experiences as gifts, like concert tickets or a fun activity we can do together. I also love giving books or music that I think the person will really enjoy. If I know someone's been stressed or overwhelmed, I might give them a relaxing gift like scented candles or essential oils. I try to tailor my gifts to the person's interests and hobbies.
What kinds of gifts are popular in your country? In my country, it's really common to give gifts like chocolates, flowers, or wine for special occasions. But during holidays like Christmas or birthdays, people often give more personalized gifts like jewelry, clothing, or home decor items. There's also a growing trend towards giving experiential gifts, like tickets to events or weekend getaways.
