Look to the Internet for Great Gift Ideas
I’m a little embarassed to admit this, but I am a gift giving catastrophe waiting to happen. No, I don’t stumble and break the gifts before giving. My problem is that I have an impossible time deciding. I’m just plain awful at coming up with original gift ideas. I’m sure you’ve already guessed the solution to my despair: the Web.
The Internet is full of the usual and the unusual when it comes to gift suggestions. Now I realize that everyone is out to make a buck, but that doesn’t bother me in the least. I’d actually be willing to pay someone just to make the decision for me, so why not buy their products if they can come up with good ideas. In my country, that’s the patriotic way to look at it!
Is there anyplace other than the online world where I might be inspired to send my mom a New York style cheesecake instead of the same boring chocolate cake I usually sent her? Fortunately, I can stretch this one idea out for many years simply by changing the flavor of cheesecake from one birthday to the next.
My daughter, who apparently gets her creative gift giving skills from me, found a bracelet idea for her grandmother. It worked out beautifully for her but it raised the bar to a higher standard for me.
You can find gift ideas by searching for age groups, say teenagers (with whom I most the most trouble) and children. You can also use a search engine to find articles recommending gifts of all the gift giving occasions from Bat Mitzvahs or Easter, from anniversaries to house warmings, or even what I lovingly refer to as the “Hallmark holidays,” such as Valentine’s Day or Sweetest Day or take your terrier to work day. You can even search by the category of the item that you want to give. For example, you might know that you want to give a video game for a Playstation, a piece of jewelry that includes diamonds (you’ve just moved out of my price range) or even a gift for a dog.
Indeed, there are entire website pages and sites dedicated to people who give gift ideas for gift klutzes like me to steal and claim them as our own. If you have any great gift ideas, please put them online so that I can find them or you could just send the item directly to me and I’ll forward it to my favorite recipient. You can count on my everlasting appreciation.
