　　1.How do people usually choose gifts?

　　Well, I guess first you have to do some enquiring about the receivers' preferences（偏好） or hobbies, that is, if you don't already know these things about them. Then choose something of a realistic price. You see, it's not really my style to link price with friendship, but to think in a practical （功利 主义的） way here is indeed helpful. For instance, if you want to choose a gift for your best friend's graduation from college, then neither a ready-made card nor a diamond necklace would be appropriate. Well, maybe if the card is made entirely by yourself it would be okay, but I still think something more useful and a little bit more expensive can express your congratulations better, such as a pair of headphones（耳机） or something like that.

　　2.Why do some people find it hard to choose gifts?

　　That is indeed a huge problem, actually. Cuz there are so many factors you need to consider. First of all, we want to give people something nice, something useful, but a very important thing is that they better not（最好没有） already have it. Also, as friends, it's not appropriate（恰当的,合适的） to buy them things that are too personal, like a toothbrush or something like that. Another thing is that we wanna buy something different from others, like, even if your friend loves flowers, it may not be the best scenario where everybody who comes to the party brings her a bunch of flowers.

　　3.Do you think practical gifts are always better than other ones like cards and flowers?

　　Honestly, I disagree with this. Flowers are one of the most common gifts nowadays, no matter if it's your birthday, anniversary or any other occasion. However, for those who don't like flowers or are allergic to them, they definitely won't like them. To be fair, they're considered old fashioned because some people believe bouquets are not creative enough. However, there are a number of florists and websites on the market arranging flowers in very unique styles and shapes, such as hearts, and they can also be combined with chocolates or soft toys. Such a bouquet can give the recipient a feeling of being loved and appreciated.

　　4.Do people give the same gifts as they did in the past?

　　Absolutely not. My mum told me that when she was dating my dad, she knitted sweaters（织毛衣） and scarfs（围巾） for him as gifts. Well, people still do this nowadays, of course, but the popularity of doing so is surely diminishing（减少,缩小）. With the development of commodities in the economy and technology, there are more and more fascinating gifts available at present. For instance, I sent a smart speaker to my dad, as a birthday gift, cuz I go to university in another city, and when I'm not home, this artificial-intelligence-based（基于人工智能的） device can help him have more enjoyable leisure time. These sorts of devices weren't even there in the past.
