Anchoring theoryThe anchoring rule of thumb describes the common human tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered (the “anchor”) when making decisions. Once the anchor is set, decisions are then made by adjusting around the initial anchor, regardless of the legitimacy of the actual anchor.(source: http://disenthrall.co/)

People look to an anchor to help them make a decision, but they make multiple decisions before making a gift, so there's an opportunity for multiple anchors: “Should I open the package?" "Should I read the letter?" "Should I agree to the meeting?"
