Are you good at choosing gifts for the people you care about?

A natural way to answer

I think I'm fairly good at it. I try to listen throughout the year and remember the little things people mention, so the gift feels personal. I'd rather give something thoughtful than something expensive.

Key phrases to use

• nail it — to do something perfectly or get it exactly right“You nailed it with that present — she loved it.”
• draw a blank — to be unable to think of or remember anything“I tried to think of a gift but completely drew a blank.”
• hit the nail on the head — to be exactly right about something“With that gift, you really hit the nail on the head.”
