Life Coach advises against giving gifts without purpose
Personality/Life Coach and Brand Strategist, Naana Lexis A.O Opoku Agyemang, has encouraged people to always give thought to what people actually need before buying them gifts.
Per her observation, a lot of people buy gifts for others without putting their needs at the time into consideration.
She told Mercy Bee the Ekumfi Princess on e.tv Ghana’s Girl Vibes show, “The last time I was telling one of my workers that if not for the fact that most of the shoes in my room were given to me as gifts, I don’t think I would ever buy them because they are too expensive and way out of my budget.”
According to her, if she was buying with her own money, she will never buy such expensive shoes because at the end of the day it is money going waste.
“I could have equally invested that money or used it for a lot of other important stuff. But the person who bought them for me thought I’m worth it that’s why the person gifted it to me. So if you’re the kind of person who likes to buy expensive stuff for your friends without them knowing, look out for the person’s needs first,” she advised.
Naana mentioned that although what “you might be getting the person might be nice and expensive, for all you know he or she won’t even use it. It might be in need of the money equivalent to what you’re getting him or her.”
“So why are you spending that much on a gift that won’t be used rather than giving the person the money,” she questioned.
