职场心经

对于不同职位的人，送礼各有讲究，只有懂得送礼的技巧，才能达到预先的效果，否则还会适得其反。以下是一些送礼的技巧，以供参考：

1．了解对方的品位。要知道送礼不是使自己高兴，而是要让别人开心。所以送礼前一定要先了解清楚对方的品位、喜好。

2．不可包含动机，应当尽量避免一些有影射性含义的礼物。

3．喜欢你送出的礼物。如果连你自己都不喜欢某种礼物，便不应该让别人收到这种礼物。

4．根据受礼人的职业，选购较为实际的礼物。

5．衡量送礼的价值。礼物的价值应以你与收礼者的关系来衡量，以避免令双方尴尬。

6．可送有代表意义的礼物。这类礼品往往更有特色，也更能在某个时刻唤起对方特定的回忆。
