My sister, Kelly, was chatting with me earlier this morning asking for help with compiling her Christmas gift list. Working with a group of ladies with children, Kelly is always pressured into getting gifts for the children for all sorts of occasions from birthday to Thanksgiving to Halloween to Christmas and New Year. At first, it was not so difficult but as the years go by, Kelly keeps trying not to repeat her gifts and that's when her ideas run dry!
I told Kelly to try to buy something that is useful to the kids. While their mothers may like something impractical to place around the house or shopping vouchers, kids usually prefer something they could use like t-shirts, shoes, baseball gloves, books, music CDs, DVDs or video games.
Still, even with my suggestions, Kelly says it is going to be difficult to get something that the kids truly like because she doesn't know them that well. That's probably why the Chinese are super practical people who would give cash for every occasion. Yes, even for Christmas!
One thing to keep in mind when buying a gift is that it’s not the monetary value of the gift that matters but the thought that has been put into selecting it.
