"Our findings show that you can influence and change what people think of you in a significant way through the gifts you give," says Jeannette Haviland-Jones Ph.D., director of the Rugters university's Human Emotions Lab. "This news is particularly important to those interested in enhancing friendships and romances, even business friendships."
