In one of my feeds, I came across this infographic and article that does a nice job of pointing out some of the dynamics and economics of gift-giving. It’s by no means indisputable, but if you’ve ever wondered how the average person values gifts–both in terms of cash value and overall importance–it does provide an interesting bit of insight.
So, go check out Holiday Misgivings: The Real Dynamics Behind Holiday Gifting… and then look at your own back account and stack of presents and cards (both ready to give and receive). It may make you think twice about why you do what you do and why you feel the way you feel.
