Secrets to Giving Thrifty Gifts - No Matter What the Season

The secret to giving a wonderful, but a thrifty gift is a combination of time and thought for that gift.
1. Time: It does take time to find just the right but economical gift. This means you need to start as early as possible to give yourself extra time to browse or create!
2. Thought: Get a small notebook. Make a permanent list of those that you feel ought to get a gift from you, by putting one name at the top of a page - one name per page. Think about that person and any gift you have ever seen light up his/her eyes. What are that person's personal interests or hobbies? What are the things that this personal values? Make notes. Before going shopping, review your notebook and take it with you.

Books make great gifts...

....with time and consideration. Think about the reading habits of each person:

    1. Are they a visual person who does not spend a lot of time ready? If so, a book is still a good gift, but look for one with many illustrations or photographs. You can also give a video or DVD.

    2. Do they read to learn or like to learn? If so, a non-fiction book on one of their interests is an excellent gift.

    3. Do they read to relax? If so, fiction books make gifts for them easy. Consider getting a gently used book.

    4. Are they "fixer-uppers." A "How-to' book is a good gift for this person.

Have a loved one who loves to read fiction?
