What is the Perfect Christmas Gift?
Have you finished getting all the gift items on your Christmas List yet? How about that "special someone"? Are you going to get them the "same ole' same ole"...just like last year? Well, time is on your side... With a bit of homework on your part you can get them something really special this year. Here are a few tips...
a) Do you remember the Boy Scout motto "Always be prepared"? This works on those camping trips in the woods, but it also works when you are compiling your Christmas List as well. From today moving forward, whenever you are around that "special someone", take note of what they say and do. This is especially true if you happen to go shopping with them. They will often give you hints and clues as to what they would like to receive for Christmas. Such as:
"This is nice, I'll have to keep it in mind".
"If money grew on trees..."
"I could use this if it was in yellow".
Remember to write these comments down when you get a free minute. Comments such as these are gold mines for great gift giving...
b) Does that "special someone" have a favorite hobby or pastime? Do they enjoy following a particular sports team, or partake of a particular hobby? If so, there is often something that you can get them to help them enjoy their pastime all that more. The key is, what is it? Even if you are not an expert on their pastime, there is someone out there who is. You could call up your local hobby store, or perhaps post a question on an internet forum. Ask them "what is the perfect gift for someone who enjoys "...fill in the blank..."? People love to talk about their hobbies, and I'm sure they would love to help you out.
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
