August is really a bad month for me. This is the month that I will have to spend too much money on gifts as my father and brother will both be having their birthdays in August, not forgetting a few of my past and present colleagues and also the mother of my good friend. There are easily ten sets of gifts that I have to buy. I hope that none of my future friends will celebrate their birthdays in August!
Going over budget on gifts is only part of the problem. The other part is to figure out WHAT to give. I usually solve this by thinking up something and then get everyone a gift from this theme. In the past, I have given gift vouchers and domestic travel packages, books and media and evencheap jewelry.
This year, after reading the Belisi Fashions Press Page on Belsi's fashion blog, Being Belisi, I am inspired to get each one of them birthday boys and girls designer fashion wear.
Men's clothing is quite tough because there's not much flexibility. Safe bets are neckties and cuff links. These two are evergreen gifts that never go out of style. Now I just have to figure out the colors for the ties!
Getting gifts for the ladies is a whole lot easier. I could either get silk scarves, leather purses and handbags or fashion accessories. However, I don't think I would get them women's clothing because they may find it troublesome to get an exchange should the clothes not fit well!
I got some ideas by reading The Divas Dreams, a blog by Belisi for independent and talented women. I think the birthday boys and girls will be in for a pleasant surprise this year!
