We all have them. They’re impossible to avoid. They can be a family member, friend, co-worker....
They are the gift giving nightmare.
With an attempt to prevent any headaches, I want to share one possible gift idea that may calm your nerves.
One gift may not suffice. If this person doesn’t like what you got them, then that’s it. You’re done. You tried.
The best way to go about this gift is to put together as many mini gifts as possible. Statistically, you will have a much greater chance at surviving this gift giving season.
We all see the pre-wrapped gift baskets at wine stores, bakeries, nail salons, and yet we forget sometimes that we too have the capability to wrap our handpicked gift items up all together in a beautiful way as well.
So this year, you may want to customize a gift basket.
Now you should think this one through. What do they like? What are their hobbies? What is their fashion sense? What are their weekly and monthly needs (waxing, nails, haircuts, car wash)?
Once you have these written down, begin to prioritize. Gift certificates? Favorite products?
