The Perfect gift? We are not all skilled enough to pull this off. Well, at least not for every one we give to. Some gifts are accidents, oops I forgot you were coming, and I don't have a clue what you like so fingers crossed......
Truly the best gifts are those with heart and thought so breaking the bank is not always necessary. Some of us do want our Chanel, Saint Laurent, and Gadgets galore, but our gifting often extends beyond those big ticket items.
Stay more organized by PICKING A THEME, a theme used lightly that is. For example, Jewelry, Candles, Scarves, and Fragrance. With these themes, you can insert variety based on the recipients. You can even do a texture theme: leather, velvet, silk, wool, cashmere.
I've done scarves (I have a thing for them) in the past and its worked for male and female, children and adults. I've done makeup themes and we've done candles. It sounds too simplistic, right? Its kind of that simple. The variety is amazing. High end, custom, classic, eclectic.. you can get all of that variation while sticking with one theme. Boy does it make your shopping less distracting, that is unless you go into a store you know will distract you and you somehow come out buying more for yourself, ok GUILTY. BUT there comes a time when you need to just finish and move on. Merry Christmas. Enjoy your family and loved ones.
