Choosing An Interesting Gift For A Friend Showing An Interest In Astrology
Love it or loathe it Christmas shopping is something many of us are resigned to doing. But if you have to select a Christmas gift for an astrology enthusiast it can prove even more of a headache. Here are a few ideas for choosing unusual Christmas gifts that, while targeting star sign fans, 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 dislike it intensely. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would much prefer to do. So I really do not need the extra hassle of looking for a present for someone with an interest I know little about, such as the zodiac.
Perhaps 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, after-shave or whatever, tucked away unopened in a cupboard six weeks later. (They can usually manage to use all 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 difficulty of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.
My family and friends are all lucky enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a gift. I bet a Christmas Porsche for one son would raise plenty of excitement and the other would be thrilled with the keys to his own home. But with a tight Christmas budget, shortage of time and no idea what presents to buy, I need to get a little creative, especially when searching for a Christmas gift for a star sign enthusiast.
While still relevant to our zodiac fan, let's generalize and consider the top characteristics of unusual Christmas gifts?
1. It should be novel - not boring slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look crummy to the receiver - best if it's unlikely 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 (on the Internet is best for me, I have no desire to queue for hours to buy this year's latest fad gadget)
8. It would be an added bonus (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 hopefully some ideas for you to think about.
Of course shopping online will save you much hassle 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.
