Become Santa in an Instant: Know The Perfect Gift for Everyone on Your List (and get Them for No-Cost!)
by www.SixWise.com

 

Make Your Gift-Giving More Valuable, Appreciated … and Inexpensive

If you're searching for the ultimate gift for the women in your life, this year what women most want for the holidays, according to the 2007 Consumer Reports Holiday Shopping Poll, is gift cards.

The gifts they'll cherish most are the ones that come from your heart.

Why do you suppose they're asking for gift cards?

Because 48 percent of women return holiday gifts. For men, it's even worse -- 52 percent return unwanted socks, sweaters and other gifts to the store, according to American Express.

Of course, people return gifts for a variety of reasons -- they don't like it, it doesn't fit, they already have one, they don't need it -- but it always takes away from the true purpose of giving.

"Gift givers want to have the receiver say, 'Wow! How thoughtful and great this is,'" says Richard Feinberg, a researcher with the Purdue University Retail Institute. "A gift that needs to be returned means that some friend or relative must get in the car, find a parking spot, find the store, get in line and deal with an overworked and underpaid employee who has to abide by the rules of the store."

Not to mention that gift cards are expensive. Eight in 10 shoppers are expected to spend an average of $156 purchasing at least one gift card this year, according to the National Retail Federation's annual holiday survey, but many of us will buy more than one.

Forget the Gift Cards: Here's a No-Cost Gift That Your Loved Ones and Family Will Adore

What does the "ultimate" gift mean to you? It should be thoughtful, it should make the person feel good and it should show how much you care. It should not cause you to blow your entire budget, nor should it take you hours battling through crowded malls to find. But it should involve a gift of your time.

The following personal certificates are ideal gifts for your spouse, your parents, your grandparents, your friends and your neighbors. You can give your neighbor a "get out of snow shoveling" free certificate. Give your spouse a free day to play golf while you watch the kids, breakfast in bed for week, or a back massage. Or, if you know your best friend loves your homemade fudge more than anything, give her a certificate for "free homemade fudge for a year."

Men, Here's the Answer You're Looking For: The Perfect Gift for Her

(And it's Guaranteed to Put the Spark Back Into Your Relationship)

Women know what they want most for Christmas: thoughtfulness, care, and a sign of devotion from their partner. Yet as the universe would have it, most men do not realize that a gift of their time would make the woman in their life extremely happy and grateful to be with such a selfless man.

When is the last time you took your sweetheart out for a night on the town or a romantic weekend getaway? Been awhile since you've given her a sensual massage or a free day to do whatever she pleases?

These are the gifts that truly show how you feel, and that will make her feel like the true love of your life.

And guys, you know that when your better half is happy, your holiday will be merry too.
