How to buy the perfect gift for someone special in your life

What do you consider to be the perfect gift? Jewelry, cash, a watch, a gift card, fancy china? When you think about it, what you consider to be a perfect gift is likely to be a very different idea than what your spouse, child or neighbor thinks is the ideal present.

Most recipients appreciate a gift that is thoughtful and personalized to their needs and wants. If you notice his morning coffee mug needs replacing, he’ll feel loved and cared for because you noticed and selected a new mug that matched his sense of humor.

To select the perfect gift, consider these tips:

◼ Ask about hobbies and activities that they enjoy during their leisure time

◼ Inquire about how your gift can help. For example, college students may ask for snack items they crave, but can’t afford to purchase themselves

◼ Observe items they purchase themselves

◼ Buy an item to add to their collection 

Busy moms, for example, relish self-care items that let them relax, take a deep breath and collect their thoughts. For these moms, bath products, body lotions, muscle massagers, candles and fragrances are good choices. Teens, often the hardest age group to buy for because their tastes change daily, will appreciate an accessories for their electronics or a basket filled with gum, candy, snacks and energy drinks.
