“对于刚开始约会的对象，要表现出你留意到他们的喜好，记得与他们的谈话内容。如果你记得他们说过的一些小事情，他们会为你留意到那些小事而受宠若惊，感到高兴。”
'If you’ve been together a while, you’ll probably have a list of suggestions of things that they want. It's fine to get them something off that but you also have to think outside the box. That's the only way to make it a magical experience for them.'
“如果你们在一起有一段时间了，对方可能会向你暗示过很多他们想要的东西。其实送他们别的东西也是可以的，只不过你也要在礼品盒的包装上花心思，因为那是唯一一种让对方觉得你的礼物妙不可言的方式。
Of course most partners drop hints - so make sure you listen.
当然，大多数伴侣都会给对方一些暗示——所以要确保你有留心听。
If you're still struggling, take them shopping and make a note of what they like, or ask close friends and family for ideas.
如果你还是拿不定主意，那么带他们去购物，然后记下他们喜欢的东西，或者向他们的密友和家人打听一下他们的喜好。
Of course for some a gift that really matters is something that's wanted and perhaps wouldn’t otherwise be affordable, so just asking if they want a surprise or not may be the safest bet, says Helen.
对于一些人来说，礼物贵在合心意，而不是多数人买不起的价格，所以先问一下对方是否想要一个惊喜可能会更稳妥，海伦说。

Of course a lot of what your budget is depends on your income, but the important thing is to set one - and stick to it.

'The pressure to make Christmas magical and give their precious darlings everything they want can be overwhelming, and some families find themselves in debt for a good part of the next year,' points out Diana Mather, an etiquette expert working with One4all Gift Cards on its gift-buying campaign.
“让圣诞变得奇妙，满足他们珍爱的人所想要的一切，这种压力是巨大的。有些家庭发现他们为了过好圣诞而负了债。”礼仪专家黛安娜·马瑟指出。马瑟从事One4all礼品卡购礼促销工作。
'Children’s expectations should be managed and realistic guidelines drawn when discussing Christmas presents.
“在讨论圣诞节礼物时，要管一下孩子们的愿望，提供一些现实的参考建议。”
'Young children like to open big colourful gifts, and are often just as happy playing with the cardboard box as the gift itself,' she points out.
“小孩子喜欢打开大包装、颜色鲜艳的礼物，而且通常玩礼品盒跟玩礼物一样开心。”马瑟说。
If there is something you simply have to buy your little one that pushes you over the spending limit, ask family to pitch in with the cost, Diana advises.
如果有样东西你实在想买给你家小孩，但是买了会超出预算，这时你可以让家人解囊相助，黛安娜建议道。
