4 WORDS –> GOT. TO. HAVE. IT.
Archives for the day Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
In an age where everything is almost available I’m still having a hard time getting gifts for special occasions. Maybe I’m being ideal because I don’t want to be repetitive or that I want each time to be unique, but I feel that gifts should be that way. Gifts should be personal yet be very simple to decide on – though I’m having difficulty thinking both at the same time during gift giving. At the moment I’m thinking about upcoming Birthday gifts for my immediate family – some members I can already pinpoint what to get but to most I’m not yet decided. It’s because I know they might get it themselves or that is not something that they like a few weeks or months from now. I prefer giving something useful, every time. The problem is you can only give someone a coffee mug or Swiss Army knife a number of times before it becomes boring. I tried compiling a list once (for select family members only), though I couldn’t get as far as number three since their preference would always change. This is why most of the time it comes down to a “spur of the moment” decision though I personally hate rushing for gifts since I get harassed when shopping on a deadline. The only consolation is that gift giving only happens on select months (again, if you limit it to family). Well, either I rattle my brains out thinking of a nice gift or just end up getting a coffee mug or a Swiss Army knife as upcoming Father’s Day Gifts for my husband and my dad.
