The Eight Levels of Gifting

Want to find the perfect gift? This list might help you.  Try to choose from the top of the list and buy:

1. A Gift that the receiver wanted but didn’t expect.
2. A Gift that creates new opportunities for the recipient.
3. A Gift that is made or discovered rather than just purchased.
4. A Gift that is purchased because the giver would like to have it.
5. A Gift that is purchased because it is easy to buy or generic.
6. A Gift that is outside the expectations of cost or effort.
7. A Gift that is specifically requested or clearly needed by the recipient.
8. A Gift that is purchased by the recipient and labeled as if from the giver.

Last year I created this list of the Eight Levels of Holiday Gift Giving.  It is loosely based on Maimonides famous list of the eight levels of giving.
