I know it’s hard to buy the best gifts ever, but when you surprise someone you love with the perfect gift, the reward is worth the time and effort it takes to find the gift!
So what does it take to find the perfect gift? Well, you can start by perusing our carefully curated gift guides. The following gift guides represent a labor of love – the gift guides I’ve created by listing the gifts my family has loved over the years and including a few gifts myself and my family members would love to have in the future. Really, truly special gifts. High-quality gifts. Practical gifts and gifts that will bring a smile to their face. Here are some other steps to finding the best gifts ever this year.
To Buy the Best Gifts Ever, Ask Leading Questions
Another great place to start to find the best gifts is with the person you are buying for. How well do you really know this person? Do you know what he or she has been staring at, stalking sales of, and talking about for weeks? Do you know the things she really wants? You don’t have to ask for a list – but you can ask leading questions!
- If we could afford to get you any appliance you wanted, any brand, for any purpose, what would you get?
- What is one thing you’ve seen at a friend’s house that you would love to have?
- What are the latest trends in (current hobby or interest)?
To Buy the Best Gifts Ever, Observe Trends Yourself
It’s one thing to ask your loved one what the trends in his/her current hobby are, it’s another thing entirely to come up with one of those trendy hot items without asking. Find some of the forums and groups she hangs out in and troll the posts for product recommendations people are asking about. Look for blog posts about that hobby and go talk to the store clerks at her favorite stores for that hobby or interest. Buy the newest tool, supply, or gadget.
