Find yourself in this situation
before?  Check this out:-

  1. Do you have difficulty to
    remember important dates?
  2. Do you have difficulty to
    find what is the best gift?
  3. Do you feel undecided
    where to buy the gift from?
  4. Do you prefer DIY gift or
    just buy it from the store?

Let see if we have the answer for
you.
1. Remember important dates

Write it down somewhere, usually in our diary (if we have one), in our organizer which
we sometimes might not even have the time to flip through the calendar section, in a
piece of paper which we tend to loose or misplaced it later.  

Write it down on post-it-note and stick it in front of your computer, your fridge, your
bedroom or just stick it everywhere you can read it and be reminded yourself upon
seeing it. But...., as usual there might be 'itchy' hands that might remove it for the place
that you have stick it.  

Thanks to the invention of mobile phone and XDA.  These gadgets are very useful since
they have menu for calendar and things-to-do.  We just have to take little of our time
to key-in the data inside our mobile phone or XDA.  On the specific date and time, its
alarm will go off to remind us.  It is wonderful.  But there's one little thing.   
Sometimes when we are too busy, we intend to push the off-button to make it silence.  
And only, by the end of the day, that we remembered.......



2.  Find the right gift

Ever starching your head finding out what's the right gift for your love ones?  Try one
of these solutions.
  • My uncle told me once before, how he usually finds the right gift for his wife.  
    When they went out for shopping together, he usually stands a bit far behind
    from his wife.  He then looked what wills his wife pick and the way she look at
    the item.  From there, he can see, the body language speaks on its own.  He will
    then buy the gift without her knowing it.  When he presented the gift, and when
    she opened it, you can imagine the joy in her face.  Well, that method works for
    him.  Why don't you just try once a while?  

  • The other way, is just ask her/him directly. What do you want for your
    birthday? What shall I get you for our anniversary this year? Anything you want
    for this Christmas? It's kind of 'blunt' when we ask that type of question. Well,
    everybody likes 'SURPRISE'.

  • Did you hear your mother, father, sister, brother, spouse or your best friend
    grumbling lately? This thing is not working, that thing is not working, this needs
    to be change, that needs to be change....... Well, you can give the item that they
    are grumbling about as a gift to them.  

  • To me one simple solution is we get a gift which is related to the person's hobby.
    For example, if your father's hobby is fishing then get him another fishing rod.
    He will be proud, you know. He will be bringing the new rod for his next fishing
    trip and show-off to his friends.



3.  Where to shop for the gift?

    In the older days, everyone when out shopping in order to buy gift. Hours and
    hours spent in the shopping mall. We went from one shop to one shop finding the
    right gift that we wanted to give, compared prices from one shop to the other,
    compared the quality for a similar type of product but different in pricing, and
    might went back to the first shop again in order to buy the gift.  Besides that,
    shopping at the mall we can touch, feel, look and observe the gift. No doubt
    we have to stand in a long queue in order to pay, or get stuck in a traffic jam
    especially during the holiday season, as well as our feet get swollen and feeling
    very tired by the end of the day. But the reward is big. Deep inside our heart we
    felt satisfied since we manage to buy the gift.  # 1 mission accomplished. But
    sometimes, we might not even get what we want from the mall. And what's worst
    is, we come back home with empty-handed feeling very tired and frustrated.

    Nowadays, people are still shopping at the mall. But, there's an alternative ways
    too. We can shop by mail order or shop from Internet. Shopping from Internet
    is now gradually increasing. With the advance technology of the net security, it
    is safer to shop on Internet. We can forget about how to wrap the gift, what
    color should the wrapping paper be, how to tie the ribbon right, what size the
    shipping box should be, etc, etc. We can also forget about the hassle of going to
    the Post Office. Everything can be taking care of by the online stores. Just with
    few clicks using mouse, we are able to get the gift for our love ones. We can
    choose either a personalized gift or theme gift.  More and more stores on the
    Internet are offering attractive discount from time to time as well as free
    shipping under certain conditions.  Even some of the products are being sold
    specially just online.



4.  DIY or buy from the store?

    For those who have creative mind and are good with their hand, will of course
    go for DIY gift.  But, for those who has least creativity and not too good with
    their hand (including myself), will go for the store.  Most of the stores
    nowadays are offering personalized gift and unique gift.
