Why Thoughtful Gifts Are the Worst Gifts?
During all kinds of holidays, millions of people will buy gifts for loved ones, which is great--- ___21___ that tons of those people make the same mistakes, and buy the ___22___ gifts.
Roughly 10 percent of gifts are ___23___ each year---and the percentage of unwanted gifts is surely higher given that nice people may not want to return presents.
What's going on?
Gift buying ___24___ a deceiving selfish pursuit. We don't actually look for things people want to receive. ___25___, and to many of our gifts' detriments, we ___26___ look for things that we want to give. It’s an important problem.
The research says ___27___ .
“Gift givers want to prove how well they know a person by choosing a thoughtful gift,” said Mary Steffel, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati ___28___ research has focused on gift-giving. “But people aren't very good at guessing what others want.”
Research has shown that givers value the gifts they buy more than recipients (接受者).The result seems to come from a simple wrong belief ___29___ thoughtful presents are the best presents. They are not. In fact, they ____30____ just be the worst presents. The more thought you put into a present, the more likely you are to stray from buying what the person you're buying the present for actually wants.
“Gift givers focus on what people are like instead of what people actually would like,” said Steffel. “And it's most pronounced when they're shopping for people they are close to.”
In other words, people let their gift-giving egos (自我)get ____31____ the way of great presents. Especially when the recipient is someone they want to show they know really well.
Fortunately, the answer to our ____32____ on guessing what people want is simple: stop it.
“People want ____33____ it is they happen to want in the moment, which can be very specific,” Steffel said. “You are much better off ____34____ people what they want.”
There is another helpful ____35____ of thumb. Buy gifts that can be used more broadly. People prefer gift cards to actual gifts, and cash to ____36____. Here is an example. ____37____ you have a friend, and your friend really likes margarita (玛格丽特鸡尾酒).You might think of buying that friend a margarita-maker.
But a margarita-maker, ____38____ it speaks to a specific quality in that friend, is actually a pretty ____39____ present. Better yet? Give the friend enough cash to buy the device, ____40____ it, and then accept the reality that they are probably going to buy something else they want much more.

【40题详解】
