Paragraph 1 Patricia Davidson, writer of Shopaholic's Guide to Buying Gorgeous Gifts Online argues that there are two main reasons our Christmas presents flop: 'Either we do not allow ourselves enough time or we do not think about the person that we are buying for.' Davidson's assertion that 'a present that is not relevant to the recipient might as well not be given' is completely correct. When purchasing Christmas gifts for the notoriously picky and particular women in our lives, we must never forget the five p's; prior preparation prevents poor presents! For argument-free festivities, here are a few ideas about how to avoid buying disappointing gifts:
The girlfriend: Avoid cold-shoulders and Silent Nights this festive season, get into your girlfriend's good books by exploring some unique gift ideas. A present that provess you've thought about her own personal taste and style, like something a unique and handcrafted, can mean more than the most expensive present (clichd gifts like perfume scream last minute panic buy!) You might also pick a gift related your relationship- a reminder of a memorable place, adventure or joke you share together. A sentimental token rather than extravagant offering can definitely earn you precious Boyfriend Points.
The sister: Finally, there is an upside to siblings cramping your style! Close proximity to sisters means that you can easily keep an ear out around the house to pick up any hints or ideas about what's on her Christmas list. Has she mentioned anything nice sees seen or something she needs to replace? In what colours is her bedroom decorated? What shades and styles does she wear a lot of? Remember, it's hard to go wrong if you've done your homework. (Just make sure to confer with other family members to avoid the embarrassment of duplicate gifts come Christmas Day!)
The mother: Most mums think their children can do no wrong, so prove her right this Christmas with thoughtful and considerate gifts. Maybe she's a foodie, a fashionable yummy-mummy or jet-setting and on the go. Try to really step into her shoes and choose a gift tha she could utilise daily. Whether it's a useful gadget or stylish accessory, your gift is bound to be appreciated if she knows you've considered your choice wisely.
There's just one thing to remember when buying Christmas presents for girls: research. Think about things she buys for herself and try toincorporate her hobbies, interests and sense of style; it becomes glaringly obvious when you pay attention. You definitely should not hazard a guess or simply choose something that you would like, your lack of preparation and consideration won't go unnoticed. This Christmas handmade gift ideas are definitely your best bet, as buying original, one-of-a-kind gifts is the easiest way to prove that you've gone the extra mile. A gift that shows you've considered your choice and fully understand the personality of the recipient will definitely go down a treat, as it truly is the thought that counts!
