Peg DeVille would rather receive something practical. Her perfect gift would be stamps for the many letters she enjoys sending and the not so enjoyable things that need to be mailed. Stationery could also be a helpful gift for the many notes she jots down. John Hamilton, coming from the Post Office, explains that he is a gun enthusiast and would most likely give his friends who share the same hobby, ammunition, or depending on how indebted he is to them, possibly even something of greater value. A recent survey conducted by International Communications Research shows that flowers, clothing and jewelry are the most popular gifts exchanged in America.

Janet Ford from David's Floral, Flowers, Antiques and Gifts on Main Street agrees that flowers are always a great gift but she also adds diamonds. Flowers come in all shapes, colors and sizes. When selecting an arrangement, thought should go into a receiver's personality to achieve a gift that expresses thoughtfulness. For example local florists agree that a casual, earthy person who prefers the outdoors would enjoy green plants with meadow flowers. Romantic people who are generous, spontaneous and extravagant would appreciate bouquets of soft colors with accents of lace or ribbon.
