Holidays, birthdays, weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, the list is endless. When you have a gift to buy for someone special or as a social requirement, how do pick out the best one? When the recipient opens their gift from you will they say How perfect! I love it! or will they say Oh, you shouldnt have.? With so many choices and so little direction how do you even start on your search for the perfect gift?
Have no fear, help is here. The answer lies in learning to think like the intended recipient. For example, lets say you need to buy a birthday present for a little girl. You look for something pink and frilly-shell love it, right? It may look adorable and perfect to you, but what does it look like to the little girl about to receive it? Stop for a moment and think about things from the perspective of our little girl. Its your birthday. There is a mountain of packages just waiting for you to open. There are only two things on your mind: TOYS!!! and CANDY!!!! If you cant throw it, shake it, push its buttons, or eat it you are not interested. Okay, come back to me now. You have just learned the secret to great gift buying. Dont buy something you...
