What is the perfect Christmas gift for that “someone special” on your Christmas List? Don’t just wait till the last minute like last year! There is still time to do a bit of homework and really surprise them this year! Let us help you in your journey to ascertain that perfect gift…

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 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) What does that “special someone” like to do in their spare time? Do they have a particular hobby or pastime that consumes them? If they happen to have a favorite sports team, enjoy crafts, or like to spend their time with some other pursuit, there is often some great little gift that you can get them to help them out with this endeavor. Ah, but what is that gift? Even if you don’t know anything about their hobby or pastime, there is somebody out there who does. You just need to do a little research. Why not call up your local hobby shop, or post a question on an internet forum, asking “what would be a great gift for someone who likes to “. People will be more than helpful to help you get that perfect gift for someone who shares the same passion as they do.

c) Friends are a literal goldmine of information on people. You could always ask their closest friends for gift giving suggestions. Before you ask though, it’s often a good idea to have some sample gift giving suggestions of your own. Why? If you pose this question to someone you will be putting them on the spot and they could draw a blank. By having some gift ideas of your own you will “jog their memory” a bit. Let’s try an example. If you are going to ask your daughter’s close friends for some gift suggestions, you could have some pictures that you have cut from an old catalog on potential gift ideas. Why the picture? Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, so it can spur on even more potential gift ideas. Her friends might be reminded of something she said would really like.

So, there you have it…three simple ideas on how to determine the perfect gift for someone on your Christmas List. If you would like more specifics on gift giving, and the latest “Hot Items” to get for Christmas this year, check out www.ExcellentChristmasList.com
