Listen to the hints they drop,
because we all drop hints around the holidays, or ask a best friend.
To build suspense
Leave clues about a forthcoming
gift for the recipient to find during the days or weeks preceding the
giving of the gift.
Shopping on line
Shopping the Internet is a
great way to find unique gift items and to save time. And most mail
order businesses have toll-free 24-hour phone service and offer such
timesaving services as gift wrapping, express shipping, and gift
certificates.

Use your intuition
When selecting gifts for
children, use your intuition. Many of the things that brought you
pleasure as a child are still hits with kids today.
Teach your children
The time you spend gift
shopping with your children is the perfect time to teach them to be
creative gift givers and to guide them through the steps of choosing
appropriate and thoughtful gifts within their budget.
