The holidays are just around the corner... in fact, they really have already begun. Like everyone else, you probably planned to have all of your holiday gift shopping done months ago. And once again, here you are, only one month until the big day and you still don't have the perfect gifts. In fact, you may not have any gifts! Don't fear, you are in the same position as the majority of the population.
There is still time to find just the right gift for everyone on your list. Since you are already thinking about gift giving, how about considering ways to make this year's gift extra special? Have you considered giving gifts that are personalized BY YOU for the lucky recipient? Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
Holiday Gift Idea #1:
Give your favorite someone a coupon book designed especially BY YOU for them.
Everyone could use a little help. Create a coupon for those boring tasks that no one wants to do (except you, of course, since this is part of your gift.) Make a coupon for cleaning the kitchen, detailing the car, or babysitting. To add some fun, create a coupon for a night out at the movies, a pizza dinner or just a good old fashioned pillow fight.
Holiday Gift Idea #2:
Give a personalized certificate telling the recipient how much they mean to you.
As an example, the certificate could say something like this:
"This certificate is awarded to John Smith, the best brother in the entire world, because he (add what makes him special). Awarded on (fill in the date). Awarded by (add your name)"
Holiday Gift Idea #3:
Write a letter that tells how much you care for that special someone
When was the last time you told your mom or dad or grandma or brother how much he or she means to you? There's no time like now to let them know. Get a piece of paper and a pencil and tell them, in writing, how important they are in your life. It doesn't take a lot of time to share your heartfelt thoughts and just imagine how much it will mean when the person you wrote it for sees what you wrote.
Whatever you decide to do, remember it's not the size of the gift that counts but rather the thought behind it. Making time for friends and family, and letting them know how much the time they have given to you means, is something they will remember for a long, long time.
