I love to give nice presents. I just don’t like the part where I have to think of exactly which present to give. I agonize over every choice of present. However, I have shortened my decision time a bit, now. You see, I turn first to the Internet. I don’t mean just to buy the present, though. I use online research to help me think of presents long before I have to make the final decision about where to buy it.
My gifts tend to be things that I would like to receive. Believe me, I can find lots of things that I would love by going to just a few sites filled with reviews and suggestions.
For example, I adore food. Consequently, I often give food as a gift. The Internet has a lot of food gift ideas. I might stumble across an idea for a specialty fruit basket, or a wide selection of gourmet cheeses (probably my favorite). Indeed, I recently gave my son a birthday gift certificate for six live lobsters to be delivered directly to him. Now I just have to invite myself over for whatever occasion that they choose to have them.
I’m a man, so no matter what my age (don’t ask!), I still love toys. All men are actually just little boys who grew taller…and maybe wider. However, given my age, my taste in toys has evolved from the toy truck to electronic gadgets. I am constantly looking for new playthings for myself, as well as electronic gift ideas for other men.
Now, this may surprise you, but I also like jewelry gifts, so I’m always on the lookout for unique jewelry gifts. Personally, I love watches, but my favorites are the kind that most women probably wouldn’t wear. Instead I look to items like bracelets. I especially like charm bracelets, since one bracelet can take care of gift ideas for several years as I add nice charms for various occasions. I know that’s probably cheating, but, as I said: I’m a man!
I guess the one kind of gift I don’t like is cash. I mean, what’s the point? If you’re going to give me twenty dollars, then I’ll give you thirty next year. Of course, that means that you’ll have to at least match me the following year. Let’s invest a little thought and keep the cash in our own wallets or use it to by a gift that shows that we’ve done our homework.
