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:
"Hmmm...what a great idea".
"If only I could afford this".
"This is a great idea, but it would be better if it was in red".
Make a mental note of comments such as these and remember to write them down when you get the chance. These little comments are gems when it comes to ascertaining the perfect gift to get him or her.
b) Do you know if that "special someone" enjoys a particular hobby or pastime? If the answer is yes, then there is often something that they would love to have to enjoy their pursuit even more. The question remains...what could this be? Even if you don't know anything about their "passion", there is someone out there who does. You could call up your local hobby store, or even post a question on the internet, to make contact with someone who can offer you gift suggestions. People who share the same hobbies, passions or pursuits love to help each other out...
c) Friends can be a literal goldmine of information on that "special someone". Ask their closest friends for gift giving suggestions...but before you do, have some gift giving suggestions of your own. If you ask them directly they will often draw a blank, but by having a few suggestions of your own you can "jog their memory" a bit. It might be a good idea to bring along some photos or pictures of what you were thinking of getting. Why not cut out some pictures from an old catalog? The key is to "jog their memory"...they might have that perfect gift idea lurking in the back of their mind somewhere....
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 - 42635
