I must ashamedly tell you…I’m a gift klutz. I guess it’s not really that I’m bad about the presenting part, itself. Whenever it is gift-giving time, it just takes me an extremely long time to move beyond the decision stage. I don’t know why my ideas seem to me to lack any originality or creativity. My solution, as you may have guessed by this time, is the Internet.
The Internet is full of the usual and the unusual when it comes to gift suggestions. Of course I know that a lot of the people making suggestions are actually trying to get me to spend my hard earned money. Actually, I don’t even object to that. I figure if someone can help me solve my gift quandry, then they deserve to make a profit from my purchase. I’m an American, and we think of that as patriotism.
Is there anyplace other than the online world where I might be inspired to send my mom a New York style cheesecake instead of the same boring chocolate cake I usually sent her? Yes, I am clever enough that now I figured out on my own that I can even radically change to a different cheesecake flavor!
My daughter, who apparently gets her creative gift giving skills from me, found a bracelet idea for her grandmother. While it turned out well for her, it made me jealous!
You can find gift ideas by searching for age groups, say teenagers (with whom I most the most trouble) and children. You can also use a search engine to find articles recommending gifts of all the gift giving occasions from Bat Mitzvahs or Easter, birthdays to graduations, or even those holidays when nobody seems to really know the origin, such as Sweetest Day or St. Astor’s day or Siamese kitten day. If you already have the beginnings of an idea, which is already one step ahead of me, you can conduct a search for a product category. For example, you might know that you want to give a video game for a Playstation, a piece of jewelry that includes diamonds (you’ve just moved out of my price range) or even a gift for a dog.
There are lots of entire websites dedicated to people who give gift ideas for gift klutzes like me to steal and claim them as our own. If you have any great gift ideas, consider sharing them with me so that I can steal them from you and take the credit. Just publish them online. Thanks, in advance.
