Well I imagine by now that you are well into thinking about what to buy people for Christmas. It seems so difficult to get it right. What do you get for the man who has everything or the woman who says, ‘just surprise me’? What about grandparents and in-laws, your colleague at work, your best friend or your boss. Sometimes no amount of window-shopping, Internet surfing, or crystal ball gazing can supply you with the answer.
How about this year giving them something they really want? Take some time to really think about your family and friends, their lives, their interests, their needs and wants. What could you do that would really make a difference? Maybe your colleague loves a morning cup of tea, your Mother in law hates the ironing, your Mum is stressed by housework and your Dad loves the Sunday papers. How about making them all their own personalised gift vouchers.
Be as creative as you can, show that you have given them thought and attention in your gift. A photo of you in a Christmas hat next to the kettle, placed in an envelope, with 12 teacup shaped ‘I promise to make you a brew’ vouchers, could be just the treat for your colleague. How about doing your Mum in laws ironing and leaving a sprig of Holly on the top next time you visit, A Christmas themed ‘No Entry Mum ‘ sign, for the kitchen door, with a weekly rota for the washing up/cooking/cleaning will be a present she’ll still be thanking you for at Easter. And how about being your Dads personal paperboy and agreeing to go get his paper on a Sunday. You could cut out letters from the newspaper and add a bit of glitter for a themed ‘I promise’ voucher.
Personally I’m hoping to find ‘You’ll never see the sink full of washing up again’ and ‘No really I don’t want to watch the football, why don’t you turn the TV over’ vouchers in my Christmas stocking. How about you?
