how many of us know how to pick the perfect present

[aggie49]

i have always tried to pick the perfect one but do screw it up every now and then i always ask what they want and then they say it's not what they want oh well

If I don't know what specifically to get, I'll get a gift card from somewhere they like or I'll buy something that I really like that way if they don't like it, I can keep it & then give them something else or a gift card.

These days, I usually give cash or a gift card.

I am seriously terrible at picking gifts for people. It would be super easy to give giftcards and money but I feel like that is so impersonal. Then again that's better than getting someone something they don't want or need at all  :-

For some people I can always pick the perfect present and for others I never can lol
Maybe it has something to do with the maturity of the receiver? I'm not sure. For most people I do good on this though.

I knew someone who did their shopping all year long.  She actually did pick almost the perfect present for everyone.  We know she gave a lot of thought into her choices.  I know I was very pleased with my presents.

   Add a personal touch to a giftcard---I usually buy something small that I know the person can use and find a way to include the giftcard as the "bigger" item.  I've given a "tower of giftcards" before using 5 or 6 boxes with a giftcard for a different place or item in each box, given wreaths with assorted giftcards attached around it, put a person's favorite wrapped candy in nice candy bowl and hid a gift card in the middle, and even sent someone on a "treasure hunt" that involved them following a map with clues to the next "treasure" which was a gift card.  The possibilities are endless especially now that giftcards aren't just for typical stores/restaurants anymore but now there are gift cards for itunes, bookstores, spas, online gaming, pet stores/grooming, hobby stores, theaters, gas stations (give everyone a good laugh and give them gas for their birthday/Christmas,  it's something they will definitely use, appreciate and remember with a chuckle forever).  There's LOTS of fun to be had with giving giftcards!!

Gift card and nice personal touch sounds good to me.  I NEVER know what to buy.

Go shopping with the person that you are buying for.  And when you hear them say, "I just love that" go buy it for them.
