What kind of presents Germans like?
Throughout the world, people please their loved ones with a nice present.
To present someone should show appreciation love or gratitude to the partner, the family or friends. Not only the recipient is happy, also the giver usually takes great pleasure in the reaction of the other.
In Germany, it is already good practice to give each other a present on occasions like Christmas, birthday, etc. Although the tastes differ from person to person, certain preferences and habits of the Germans can still be recognized. But which presents are popular among Germans?
Compared to other countries and cultures Germans are probably a bit uncreative and maybe less experimental because mostly vouchers are given away these days. This can also be due to the unimaginative wishes of the people.
According to surveys, in addition to gift vouchers, especially cosmetics, books, toys and electrical appliances are popular. Of course, this also depends on the age and sex of the person to be gifted. Women are happy about a nice perfume or a new cream, men rather like a new knife for the kitchen or something useful. Books are very popular with both sexes and also in all age groups and are always a good gift if you are unsure about the other person’s preferences.
