Summary:

Details or Sample:
Christmas gets more extravagant every year. Despite everyone saying that next year will be different, it seems like Christmas is spent cleaning up piles of wrapping paper and trying to fit stuff into cars. It's fun to receive gifts, especially when you're a kid, but as adults, do we really need to go bonkers in the mall each year?

The problem is that most people don't know what everyone wants. The theory seems to be that if you just buy a lot of stuff for a person you will please them because you increased the odds. If you really want to go all out for someone, then do some research first. Ask people who would know what they want. Ask the person a few probing questions throughout the year so when gift time comes you will have something to go on. Hopefully, this will keep you from buying them useless trinkets and gadgets. When these ideas fail, there is nothing wrong with gift cards. You can personalize these with a few home-baked cookies or ornaments, or with a personalized card that lets them know that you wanted them to have the last say about their gift. The point is that spending all day surrounded by presents is no match for the gift of family and friends being together.

Many say that gift cards are impersonal, but think about it, isn't buying someone something they don't need or want impersonal too? Gift cards are a great back-up plan when research and questioning have failed to provide you with any ideas. Most of the time people don't know what they want, or won't answer if they do. There are plenty of ways to please this group, too.
