Modern society can be called consumer. So, most people are constantly in search of special things that could satisfy their needs. There is, of course, nothing wrong with that. But how can you structure your desires? That's exactly for this and there are vish sheets.
What it is?
Initially, you need to deal with terminology. What is wishlist (wishlist) and how is this concept translated correctly? The original language is English. And to understand the essence, you just need to know that from English wish is desire, and list is a list, a list. That is, wish lists are some lists of what a person wants. I would also like to note separately that today such lists are elements of youth culture. This is the “must have” that everyone should have.
Why do you need a wishlist?
I also want to tell you why you need to make such lists. There are several simple reasons:
- To structure your desires.
- In order to quickly navigate with the desired if necessary.
- So that friends and close people know what a person really wants.
At their core, such lists are very useful. First of all, in order to satisfy the needs of a person. It should be noted that in Europe and the USA, before the wedding, the newlyweds make lists of gifts (in fact, the same wish lists). Only those things that are useful to a married couple in life get there. And each guest tentatively notes what exactly he will give for the wedding. In this case, everyone finds a positive. The couple gets exactly what she needs in one copy. And guests do not need to invent what it is to present in order to please the young. By the same simple principle, any wishlist works.
Where to create such lists?
Where can vish sheets be placed? Yes, almost anywhere, if only it was convenient. Options:
- Initially, these were special sites where people could register, create their wish lists, make friends and view each other's lists. A huge problem was that few knew about such sites.
- You can create wish lists in your favorite social networks. This can be a separate list, which is compiled independently, or a link to a specific site where such lists are more convenient for viewing.
- Wish lists can be written on ordinary leaflets, hanging them, for example, in the house. So, each member of the family can attach to the refrigerator a list of what he wants to receive for this or that holiday. Or, such lists once a year can be handed out in your company, if, of course, this is practiced.
Listing Rules
We figured out what a wishlist is. How to make a wish list correctly? There are several easy ways to do this. The easiest way to do this is on a dedicated site. Most often there you can add not only a photo of the desired item or event, but even give links to the store where you can purchase it. Or, for convenience, the average price of a present for shopping in a city or country may be indicated there. It is much more difficult to create lists yourself. So you need to think about how to properly structure them. The most convenient option is to create lists for specific categories. Attention: to avoid embarrassing situations, all gifts should be specified as much as possible. For instance:
- Hobby category. There, a person brings everything that can satisfy him in terms of enthusiasm. The list may include: paper for quilling (multi-colored or strictly defined color), embroidery threads (for example, DMC red shades), tailor's scissors (blade length should be 25 cm), a set for burning on wood (trademark “Flame” ) etc.
- Category "Rest". This includes everything that you want to buy for the holiday season. This can be a large beach towel with a “Flowers” ​​pattern, a straw hat with a pink rim, SnowMaster ski goggles, etc.
- Category "Books". Not only authors and titles of works are entered here, but the format of the issue is still relevant today. This can be a paper publication or a volume in electronic format (for reading using an e-book).
More about categories
I would also like to tell what categories a gift list may consist of. So, there are a huge number of them:
- Collections.
- Clothing.
- Movie.
- Entertainment.
- Work.
- Gadgets and technology.
- Sport.
- Shameless desires.
- Housing.
- All for yourself.
- Cosmetics.
It should also be noted that the category of “expensive gifts” must be singled out separately. And if such presents are beyond the means of friends and relatives, then maybe someday they will be able to receive such a gift from a secret admirer or a new boyfriend.
I would also like to note that you can create the category "Desired Events". It will be especially useful for reading by soul mates. So, you can describe in detail how exactly you want to see this or that event. For example, girls can paint a picture of an ideal marriage proposal.
Opposites
When creating a wish list, you can also think about the opposite. That is, about what you don’t want to receive as a gift from loved ones. This is most often called an anti-list. This includes everything that I do not want to receive as a presentation. This is also quite correct, because, probably, there is nothing worse than getting a gift that you absolutely dislike.
Constant work on the list
Well, of course, you need to remember that you need to work on the list constantly. Not only in terms of introducing more and more elements there. It is also worth looking at what was previously created. After all, no one will argue with the fact that desires tend to change, transform. This is especially true for girls. So, periodically it is worth removing what you no longer want from the list provided for consideration.
I would also like to note that from time to time it is necessary to report what was presented from the list. For example, you can put the nickname of the person who presented it opposite the desired thing. Or give a link to the profile of the donor.
Important Nuances
At the very end, we note that you also need to create a list of important holidays for which you want to receive gifts. Each list will have its own, it will be slightly different. This includes not only dates such as New Year and birthday, but also name days, getting a diploma, graduation from school or university, etc. So it will be easier for comrades to decide when and what needs to be presented.
