I pride myself on buying pretty good gifts. As Christmas is nearly here, I thought I’d share with you a few secrets that help me to give the most thoughtful gifts. This way, you can become known as one of the best gift givers there is. A real life Santa!
Start Planning Earlier in the Year
You need to start planning earlier in the year if you want to buy the very best gifts. You probably can’t try to buy great presents out of one paycheck, because it just won’t stretch. Start planning early on by putting money away each month. Even if it’s only a small amount, you’ll be glad you did it when December rolls around.
Planning in advance also gives you plenty of time to consult with friends and read online reviews. For example, if you’re going to buy a trampoline for your children, there are numerous buying guides and review sites to help you find the best trampolines.
Stay Alert and Jot Down Gift Ideas
When talking to friends and family members, stay alert and jot down gift ideas in your phone or notebook. Then when you go shopping, you’ll have so many ideas! No need to wrack your brain trying to think of things to buy. I also like to take into account hobbies, likes, and dislikes to come up with something useful for them. It’s always nice to buy them something that they wouldn’t have even thought of themselves!
Use Social Media to Give You Clues
Social media can give you so many clues when it comes to what to buy. Their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages could give you valuable insight into what they’re hoping to receive this Christmas. You can even use it to look at brands they wear, things they use regularly, and more. It’s like being a spy, but better!
Buy Something Personalized
You can’t go wrong with something personalized for the person you’re buying for! Something like this always shows that you’re thoughtful and that you’ve spent a while thinking about to buy for them. You could personalize a piece of jewelry, a piece of art, or even clothing. Whatever it is, make sure you use the other tips in this guide to think of something they’ll love.
Be Unique
Don’t be the same as everybody else. Try to come up with unique gift ideas to surprise the people you buy for! I love receiving unique gift ideas. Many of the unique gifts from Cuckooland will fit the bill.
Make Your Own
If you really can’t find something that you’d like to buy, make something yourself. This could be food, an ornament, or something else you think will go down well. There are all kinds of tutorials online to help you, so you can make something spectacular. Not to mention you’ll save money! You could make a photo frame, a scrapbook, or if you’re musical you could write a special song. Not all gifts have to cost money!
So, if you want to be known as a great gift giver, use the tips in this guide. I guarantee you’ll buy some great gifts this year to make the people you love smile. Have an awesome Christmas and a happy new year. Come back for more posts soon!
