Useful presents are a a way of playing a part in the receiver's life. A practical gift doesn't offer any kind of dream or fantasy and is a way of putting the person into the role you want them in rather than what they want to be. It's also a way of giving moral lessons. However, this doesn't mean people won't appreciate practical gifts. But if you perfect them with details such as beautiful wrapping or personalization, practical gifts can work really well.
