1. Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha: If you send a local specialty, you can say that someone from your hometown brought it to you and you want to share it with your friend. It's not much, and you didn't spend money on it. It's not bought specially for him. Please accept it. Generally speaking, the recipient's refusal mentality of not being able to return the kindness will be greatly eased, and he will accept your gift in the end.

2. Transplanting flowers and trees: Lao Zhang has something to ask Xiao Liu to do, and wants to send some gifts to smooth things over, but he is afraid that Xiao Liu will refuse. Lao Zhang's wife is very familiar with Xiao Liu's wife. Lao Zhang started a wife diplomacy and asked his wife to visit with gifts, which was a success in one fell swoop - the matter was done, and the gift was received, both were perfect. It seems that direct attack is not as effective as roundabout movement.

3. The old man's ulterior motive: If you send some money and things to someone with family difficulties, sometimes he is very self-respecting and will not easily accept it. If you are giving something as a gift, you might as well say, "This thing is lying around at home, so let him use it first, and then buy something and return it later." The recipient will feel that you are not giving alms, and will be happy to accept it if you return it later. In this way, the purpose of your gift giving is achieved.

4. Adding icing on the cake: A student has received a lot of favors from his teacher, and has always wanted to repay him, but there is no chance. One day, he accidentally discovered that the calligraphy and paintings in the teacher's mahogany frame were actually rubbings, which did not match the elegant furnishings in the room. It happened that his uncle was a well-known calligrapher, and he had the calligraphy and paintings given to him by his uncle. The student immediately took the calligraphy and paintings and took the initiative to put them in the frame. The teacher not only did not object, but also liked them very much. The purpose of the student's gift giving in return was finally achieved. If you cannot "send charcoal in the snow", "adding icing on the cake" is also a good strategy.
