3 Easy Gift Giving Ideas! …

What to buy for the person who has too much of everything, lives in another city or you just do not know what to get them.

Gift gifting is about giving something that person wants to get not what you think they should have. It’s not always an easy task but you can call someone that knows them to ask about their likes and dislikes. 

This past summer I was invited to a milestone birthday

along with a group of friends and associates. Rather than each of us buying a small gift that would most likely just end up collecting dust I made a call to his close friend. Short story we sent the man to a golf tournament that he was interested in attending and he had a great day! In fact, he won the hole in one…you never know how great your gift can be. 

Put yourself in their shoes this holiday season and gift a gift that will be enjoyed and used. 

Still not sure…  

Here are 3 easy shopping ideas:

1. Consumables – buy a nice bottle of wine, decadent chocolates, candy, cheese, bakery gifts, flowers, live plants, or a hand crafted candle. These items most likely will not be pushed to the back of a closet, forgotten or re-gifted. 

2. Gift Certificates – some feel this is an impersonal gift, however it lets a person choose something they like and want. Certificates can be purchased almost anywhere. A day at the spa, dinner out, tickets to the theatre or even the cinema.  Even Living Organized creates certificates specific to your gift giving desires.

3. Donate to a favourite charity in that person’s name. Most charities will send out a card or note announcing your gift.
