Malls are packed full of holiday shoppers, stores put out elaborate displays showcasing this year’s best-selling products; it’s the most wonderful time of the year. For most, the holiday season serves as a joyous time during the year’s end; but for some, the stress of finding the “perfect” gift for friends and loved ones is a serious cause for concern. What exactly makes the act of giving somebody a present so stressful? Is it the fear of the gift being rejected? Or is it the competition for the most favorite gift amongst fellow gift givers? It seems that the only sure fire way to be satisfied with your gift giving crusade is to find a gift that means as much to the gifter as it would to the “giftee”, if you will. But so many factors go into the thought behind a gift. If it’s for your mother, keep in mind that this middle-aged woman might not particularly enjoy a new string bikini. And for your father, despite his greatest efforts to be good at your latest video game, he may not consider the latest Super Mario game a novel gift. Just because an item looks good on display, what happens after the gift-wrap is taken off is far more important than how expensive the latest technology was at Target. Usage is key. A gift may shock and awe for the meantime, but what the giftee does with it after Christmas day might deserve more consideration than most of us give credit. And for all of you holiday stressor’s, relax. I’ve got you covered. Here’s simple guide to gift giving for the 2012 holiday season!
