Have you decided what to get that "special someone" on your Christmas List this year? Are you going to wait till the last minute and get the "same ole' same ole'"? The good news is that there is still time to find that perfect gift. Let us help you out with some gift giving suggestions:
a) The Boy Scouts have a famous motto, "Always be prepared". While not all of us are boy scouts, we can still take this motto to heart. How you say? Whenever you are around that special someone, notice what they say and do. They will often give you clues and ideas and hints on what they would like to receive for Christmas this year. They might say:
"Sweet...I'll remember this for the future".
"If money grew on trees..."
"I'd like it better if it was in green".
Remember to write these comments down when you get a free minute. Comments such as these are gold mines for great gift giving...
b) What does that "special someone" like to do in their spare time? Do they have a particular hobby or pastime that consumes them? If they happen to have a favorite sports team, enjoy crafts, or like to spend their time with some other pursuit, there is often some great little gift that you can get them to help them out with this endeavor. Ah, but what is that gift? Even if you don't know anything about their hobby or pastime, there is somebody out there who does. You just need to do a little research. Why not call up your local hobby shop, or post a question on an internet forum, asking "what would be a great gift for someone who likes to ". People will be more than helpful to help you get that perfect gift for someone who shares the same passion as they do.
c) Friends know an awful lot about each other...including what they might like in the form of a gift. While this information may not be on the foremost of their mind, it might be lurking somewhere inside... You just need to "jog their memory" a bit... Come equipped with your own potential ideas, and even some photos or pictures of what you were thinking of getting. You could always cut some pictures out of an old catalog. The key is to use "whatever" to jog their memory, and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...
These three ideas should help to get you started on this year's Christmas List. If you would like more details, or to learn about the "Hot Items" for Christmas this year, check out the blog: www.ExcellentChristmasList.com
