We imagine our friends【C1】______a gift that is impressive, expensive, and sentimental.

    【C4】______, practicality seems like an enemy of great gift giving. Beautiful jewelry, lovely watches, perfect rugs, finely crafted kitchen hardware: These things【C5】______great gifts because they communicate something beyond practicality. They communicate that the giver cares.

Their clever paper asks givers and receivers to【C8】______gifts from two perspectives: desirability(e. g, the cost of a coffee maker)and feasibility(e. g. , the【C9】______of the coffee maker). Across several experiments, they find that givers, consistently give gifts based on desirability and receivers【C10】______favor gifts based on feasibility.
