MOSCOW, 6 Dec - PRIME. Psychologists decided to reveal professional secrets of how to choose New Year's gifts for loved ones. RIA Novosti wrote about this with reference to interviews with experts.
So, the candidate of psychological sciences Vadim Myamlin advised that before buying a presentation it is better to talk to a person and try to understand by external manifestations (facial expressions, gaze and intonation) what he would like to receive.
"Glitter of eyes, a slight half-smile, perhaps some sounds, often" mm "," ah "or" oh ", can indicate that you hit the target," - explained the psychologist. He also recommended listing at least 20-30 items and observing the person's reaction.
"It's like playing poker: experienced players calibrate a person and immediately understand when he is bluffing. You need to know which card, conventionally, his eyes are burning, and give it to him," concluded Myamlin.
A much more radical approach was advised by the specialist Irina Larina. She said that it is better to ask the person directly and in advance about the gift they want. Then there will be time to order a present, and it is also likely that the addressee will forget about such a conversation. In addition, Larina recommended to approach the choice of a gift for an unfamiliar person with ingenuity.
"You can ask a person what they gave him, what gifts were the best, and what he himself would give as a gift, what surprises were the most memorable in his life. Through such an abstract conversation, you can" grope "the vector of gifts that a person could be interesting ", - added Larina.
For example, the psychologist notes, if the interlocutor tells that his loved one was once presented with a rare book, from which he himself was completely delighted, and his eyes shine during the narration, we can confidently conclude that such a gift will be pleasant to him.
Recall that in early December, a survey was conducted among Russians. The five most desirable gifts for the New Year included money (chosen by 36% of respondents), electronics (21% of respondents), travel (19% of respondents), cosmetics and perfumery, personal care products (18% of respondents).
