Put thought into your gift giving.


With the holidays fast approaching it makes me think of how often you are handed gifts that make you go, "What the?"  or...."geeze thanks."

It's not that you are unappreciative...but you know the person put no thought into your gift.  Nothing makes you feel less important.


Don't be that person.

Don't pick up something random at the drug store on the way to someones house because you realized that you never got them anything.  I think most people would agree that they would rather receive nothing then a to get a gift that did not come from a genuine place....from the heart.

My gift giving is well thought out.  In fact for Christmas I start looking, circling in magazines, and jotting things in a notebook in September.  Actually all year long if I see something I think someone might like I purchase it....because it reminded me of them....not because I can't show up empty handed.   Of course this approach can lead to over doing it...but at least that person will feel special when he or she opens my present.

Don't give people things that mean nothing...gift giving should never be an obligatory thing....

            .....let it always come from the heart.
