Love it or utterly detest it Christmas shopping is something most of us are resigned to doing. But when you have to select a Christmas gift for an astrology enthusiast it can prove even more of a worry. Here are a few ideas for choosing unusual Christmas gifts that, while targeting star sign enthusiasts, are actually applicable to anyone who is hard to buy for.
It could be that you enjoy the frenzy of gift shopping each year. I do not. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would far rather do. So I really do not need the added hassle of looking for a gift for someone with an interest I know little about, such as star signs.
It may be you manage to buy unusual gifts for everyone and their faces light up with delight when they open their Christmas gifts. My family make polite ripples of thanks then I find the slippers, smellies or whatever, hidden away unopened in a cupboard six months later. (They can usually manage to consume the alcohol!)
I really resent time and money wasted on gifts that just do not hit the mark with the recipient. It's not that I'm mean, or uncaring, I just do NOT know what to buy people that will fit in with their hobbies. I have enough difficulty looking for pleasing gifts in areas I know well, without the further stress of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.
My family and friends are all fortunate enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a gift. I dare say a Christmas Porsche for one son would raise plenty of delight and the other would be thrilled with the keys to his own home. But with a tight Christmas budget, lack of time and no idea what gifts to buy, I need to get a little creative, especially when hunting for a Christmas gift for a star sign enthusiast.
While still relevant to our star sign fan, let's generalize and consider the top characteristics of unusual Christmas gifts?
1. It should be novel - not tried and tested slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look cheap to the recipient - best if it's impossible that they can guess the cost
4. It should be useful or (alternatively) completely fun
5. It should be something they have always wanted
and/or
6. It should be something they would never dream of buying for themselves
7. It should be easy to buy (online is best for me, I have no wish to queue for hours to buy this year's latest fad gadget)
8. It would be great (but not compulsory) if it gave something to talk about instead of the Christmas TV
Well, I'm not sure whether I've made your Christmas Shopping life any easier or much more difficult with my list of "how to select a Christmas gift" tips, but there are certainly some tips for you to think about.
Of course shopping online will save you much stress and time and also give you the chance to click around all the links on a website at a time convenient to yourself, unhindered by pushy sales-people following you round.
