Avoid material goods by giving their cash value to an individual instead. People hate giving loved ones money because they think it looks lazy and unthoughtful. However, it’s definitely one of the most helpful gifts you can give a person. By contributing to someone’s goal or wish, then the gift of money is actually the opposite to being inconsiderate – it’s thoughtful, kind and useful. For example, if someone’s saving up to go to university, you can give money towards their books or accommodation. Alternatively, they may be wanting to go travelling and you can contribute towards their backpack or first flight away.
