Don't be afraid of being rejected when giving gifts

When giving gifts, we should have the perseverance to keep trying, and not worry about others' refusal.
For example, once I was live streaming at a venue provided by a partner.
After the live broadcast, I said to their staff, "You've worked hard until this late hour. Let me send you a red envelope as a token of appreciation.".
The staff member rejected me.
Many people feel awkward when their gifts are rejected.
What should I do at this point? I didn't give up. I changed my strategy.
I immediately said to him, "Can we at least add a contact method?" Since he had already refused the red packet, it was unlikely that he would refuse my small request to add a contact method.
After adding him on WeChat, I said to him, "Send me a delivery address. I think there's a book that would be perfect for you. I want to send you a book." He agreed.
So, when we give gifts, we shouldn't worry about being rejected. If the other person doesn't accept this thing, they might accept something else.
In some cases, the recipient may be embarrassed or unsure of your sincerity in giving the gift. Only when you insist on giving it will they accept it.
Don't cause embarrassment to others
Sometimes, your well-intentioned actions may cause embarrassment to others.
Once, someone gave me a gift. It was a whole jar of origami cranes, each containing a message.
I am deeply grateful and respectful to the person who sent the gift. But I pondered: How much time would it take me to open each of these 999 origami cranes?
And time is very precious to me. So, this gift makes me feel quite embarrassed.

Give gifts downwards.
Giving gifts downwards refers to giving gifts to subordinates and juniors.
Points to note when giving gifts:
First, don't be condescending.
Some people may think that there is no need to give gifts to subordinates, as it is a sign of condescension.
Actually, giving gifts to subordinates and juniors is a way to express admiration, blessings, and support for them.
So, when giving gifts, don't adopt a condescending attitude.
Second, don't make demands.
When giving gifts, we can wish and encourage the recipient, but we cannot make demands on them. Otherwise, giving gifts becomes a bargaining chip to demand things from the recipient.
For example, when a mother gives a gift to her child and says, "I'm giving you this gift because I hope you can get good grades in the final exam," the child may feel pressured and suspect that the mother is only using the gift as a way to demand something from them.
Third, give according to the other party's needs.
When giving gifts downwards, there may be differences such as a generation gap. It is important to understand the other person's needs and preferences, and choose gifts that align with their personal tastes.
The above are common cognitive misunderstandings and practical points regarding gift-giving.
