Ironically, a study finds that we‘re awful gift-givers precisely because we spend too much time try into be considerate.We imagine our friends        46          a gift that is impressive, expensive, and sentimental.We imagine the look of happiness and surprise on their faces and the warmth we feel           47          .But there‘s something  that  the  most  sentimental  gift-givers  tend  not  to  think  too  much  about:    48       the  gift  is practical in the first place.
