Christmas is just around the corner, and you're probably
scratching your head in wonder of what to get your significant other, friends, and family members. Unique is the key word
that makes a gift cool, and not absurd or obscene, and shopping for someone who already has everything can make it that much
more difficult.
Everyone wants a cool Christmas gift, but everyone's interpretation
of what is cool varies greatly. For instance, what's cool to a teenager may be totally incomprehensible for an older adult,
who's idea of cool may be a gift certificate for an hour massage or a visit to the chiropractor.
Gift certificates make great gifts, but it may be better to select a
favorite store or shop and let your recipient choose what they want to purchase.
Your taste in gifts should reflect the interests of whom you're buying the gift for, and not
what you want from Santa instead...
On the other
hand, maybe the person you're buying for DOES share your interests and hobbies. This may create another dilemma; most likely
they already have what you have and what they don't have, they don't for a specific reason. Don't make the mistake of buying
something that you would like to receive instead of making the gift choice personal.
Unless you absolutely know for sure what to get, a gift certificate is still the best
choice. You can even purchase and download gift cards instantly from many Internet sites, making it even easier!
So maybe you feel giving a gift card or certificate is a cop-out because
you want to be the best gift giver ever! Gift cards can make a cool Christmas gift, you just have to get it from a cool place!
Say, for example, your parents have always loved Martha’s Vineyard because it’s the place they met and fell in
love. Get them a night or two at a fabulous bed and breakfast or a whale-watching tour there, if it’s in season.
