Five Points for Gift Giving Success


Here are some of our favorite tips for giving gifts without succumbing to stress.

  1. Get their wish list.
    Ask people for hints or even a wish list. Gather ideas during the year, and write everything down.
  2. Trust your judgment.
    Forget about being afraid the gift isn’t “perfect.” If you think the person will like it, chances are they will.
  3. Stick to your budget.
    Spending more than you should takes the fun out of gift giving. There’s nothing more stressful than overspending—and feeling uneasy about it.
  4. Buy it when you see it.
    If you’re shopping in July and see a sweater that your mother would love, buy it. It probably won’t be there when you look in December.
  5. Start a gift closet.
    Stash a few gifts that will work in a pinch: copies of your favorite cookbook, a good bottle of wine, or boxes of beautiful note cards. That way you’ll be ready if need a gift on the spot.
