Some questions to get you thinking about presentation:

• What is their favorite color(s)?
• Do they like surprises? (most everyone does)How is it to be presented?
• Is it going to be presented in a box, a gift bag, with a little ribbon or bow (It seems like boxes are the best way to present, with a bow and ribbon)?
• Should it be presented before or after dinner?
• Some people like to hear the story behind how you came up with your gift and others like it to be a mystery. How does your loved one think?

Here are some examples to help:

• A gift card to the recipient’s favorite spa, because you know they’ve been talking about going (layers) packaged in a beautiful box with a ribbon and in a box (more layers). Inside that box is a Spanish set of playing cards as you met in Spain (even more layers). In the set of cards is your “gift card (presentation).”

OR:

• A dog lover who also loves confectionaries and cute packaging? Dogs can’t eat chocolate, so a confectionary with adorable packaging and a dog as the 'mascot' is perfect.  The box adorned with an adorable mascot (layers) and a beautifully tied bow (more layers), and inside is pink tissue paper (even more layers). The toffee is the final part of the gift giving process (pleasure).
