Pick a present

Pick a present Venn diagram considering how gift giving is also about the values of the giver
  • Prints

Venn diagrams can be wholly unscientific, like this one. There are lots of things to bear in mind when trying to find the right gift for someone. It has always struck me how gift-giving is so often as much about the giver as the receiver.

Here I was trying to get across how a perfect present is one that:

  • You predicted someone would like
  • Fits with your values (I wouldn't buy my teenager cigarettes even if they wanted them)
  • They actually like

This was a very early sketch. I updated it when we made a podcast about it. It was really fun. Have a listen when it's out!

Here's the original sketch, mistakes and all.
