1. Make A List- Go out there with some purpose. If you know what your going to get or what you want to get your going to have a more efficient shopping experience. If you have a list your going to cut down on the chance that you start browsing and buy something for yourself. Its better to give than receive.
2. Get Something You Like- If your giving a person something that you would enjoy its going to carry alot more weight. Your going to be excited about giving it to them and seeing what they think about it. If you give them something you like its alot more personal. Your invested as opposed to just doing someones shopping for them which brings me to my next point...
3. Don't Use Their List- Getting something off of a persons list is fine and cool, obviously its something they want BUT its better to get something that you know they want but didn't ask for. Or something you know they would like but don't know they want. Those gifts have the most power, hold the most delight. Anyone can go buy something from a list.
4. Recycle- Wrapping paper is dumb. I honestly don't get it. Use newspaper. That's all I'm gonna say about that.
Happy Holidays.
