Research Shows It's Better to Give than to Receive! Gifts say more about us than we know

Happy Birthday, I Love You, Thank You, Wishing you a Speedy Recovery, With Deepest Sympathy, Congratulations, Thinking of You. Each day millions of gifts are exchanged by people who want to send thoughtful regards, to friends and loved ones. A recent study by Rutgers University found that the presents we pick to convey our special message, says a lot about us.

Rutgers University researches explored what the gifts we choose say about who we are and whether they affect how we are perceived. The research reveals that those who send flowers, in comparison to other gifts, are viewed as successful, caring and emotionally intelligent people. Here are a few other things I found very interesting:

Both men and women who give flowers are perceived as happy, achieving, Strong, capable and courageous people;

Men and Women come across as more emotionally intelligent; they give the impression they can effectively express their feelings and take time t understand the feelings of others! (That's powerful stuff)

Female floral gifters are viewed as more appreciative of beauty and nature.

"Our findings show that you can influence and change what people think of you in a significant way through the gifts you give," say Ms. Haviland-Jones. "That news is particularly important to those interested in enhancing friendships, romances, and business relationships."

Who wouldn't want to be that kind of person?? You know what to do...order flowers today for someone you are trying to make an impression on and see if it works!
