Many of the folks that message me tell me that they are at a loss when it comes to finding a unique gift for their special someone because when they ask them what they want for a gift they say things like this:
– Guys will shrug and say ‘I dunno’
– Moms who are famous for ‘don’t worry about getting me anything sweetie, I’ve got everything I need’.
It’s almost like you need a psychic, or a crystal ball, to get into their head. Without one, as much as you look, you just can’t find, or decide, on a gift that they will like.
Well it just so happens I have a crystal ball (so to speak , so I decided to dust it off and give you a ‘reading’ to help you find that perfect gift.
1. First think what about what the person you are buying for likes. Yes I know that is probably always your starting point, but stay with me on this.
Example:
He likes — sports, electronics, beer, boots, gourmet food
She likes — jewelry, clothing, shoes, wine, chocolate
2. Once you have a list of what the person would like as a gift then narrow it down to the top one or two gifts.
Example:
He likes — golf, electronic games
She likes — gold jewelry, shoes
3. Now that you have the top two list you have to think a bit outside of the box. I do this when I am picking out personally picked gifts on our site.
So for him, with golf and electronic games in mind you could pick out this (for example)
So for her, with gold and shoes in mind you could pick out this (for example)
Get the idea? It’s just a matter of taking one or two of her/his top likes and finding it as a gift. When you do that it makes it a bit more unique.
