Birthday Gifts - Where to Begin?

Do you ever marvel at the statement “I just don’t know what in the world to get him or her for their birthday”! Looking a little bit of history, the first Sears and Robuck catalogue printed in 1989-1890 only sold watches. The next year they added jewelry and silver items. Today, if you would look up items on the Internet alone that could be given as birthday gifts, you would find over 42,000,000! So, I ask, how could one not find a present to give?

One tip that might be helpful before we go shopping is to start a gift list. You can use a small notebook and create a page for each person you like to purchase gifts for. Make notes about the person’s sizes, favorite colors, clothing preferences, hobbies, interests, as well, as possible allergies to foods and flowers. Keep the notebook with you so that you can make notes when you are checking out the local malls or boutiques.
