I love shopping! That’s probably one of the reason I have always wanted to open my own retail shop. And I love shopping for a gift. Some people get really stressed about gift buying. I don’t. I love it! Personally, I love that feeling when I find that perfect gift that I believe is perfect for another person. What makes the perfect gift?
The perfect gift is when you find something that another person doesn’t have and probably wouldn’t buy it for themselves because it’s too frivolous or expensive. I will never forget one Christmas my sister gave me this cool paper weight. It was the first job where I had my on office and desk. I just thought the paper weight was the coolest gift. She was surprised that the least expensive gift was my favorite. Hello, it’s not the amount of money you put in the gift but the thought.
A perfect gift is finding that one item that matches the person receiving the gift personality. Perhaps something that you saw that reminded you of a childhood memory he or she shared with you. Perhaps a first edition printed of their favorite novel. It could be as simple as a gift certificate to a special restaurant that was mentioned in a conversation. It could be as little as having a photo framed. When thought is used the gift giving process can be fun for all.
