Choosing An Interesting Present For A Family Member Showing An Interest In The Zodiac
Love it or hate it Christmas shopping is something many of us are resigned to doing. But when you have to choose a Christmas gift for an astrology enthusiast it can prove even more of a challenge. Here are a few ideas for choosing unusual Christmas gifts that, while targeting star sign enthusiasts, are actually applicable to anyone who is difficult to buy for.
Possibly you enjoy the frenzy of gift shopping each year. I hate it. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would much prefer to do. So I really do not need the additional hassle of looking for a gift for someone with an interest I know little about, such as astrology.
Possibly 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 noises of thanks then I find the sweets, after-shave or whatever, hidden away unopened in a cupboard six months later. (They can usually manage to work their way through the alcohol!)
I really resent time and money wasted on presents 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 problems looking for interesting gifts in areas I know well, without the extra difficulty of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.
My family and friends are all fortunate enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a gift. I dare say a Christmas Porsche for one son would generate much delight and the other would be delighted with the keys to his own house. But with a tight Christmas budget, shortage of time and no idea what gifts to buy, I need to get a little creative, especially when hunting for a Christmas gift for a star sign enthusiast.
While still relevant to our astrology enthusiast, let's generalize and consider the most important characteristics of unusual Christmas gifts?
1. It should be novel - not the same old slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look crummy to the recipient - best if it's impossible that they can guess the price
4. It should be of general utility or (alternatively) totally fun
5. It should be something they have always wanted
and/or
6. It should be something they would never think to buy for themselves
7. It should be easy to buy (on the Internet is best for me, I have no wish to queue for hours to buy this year's latest fad gadget)
8. It would be great (but not compulsory) if it provided something to chat about instead of the Christmas TV
Well, I'm not sure whether I've made your Christmas Shopping life any easier or much harder with my list of "how to pick a Christmas present" tips, but there are hopefully some hints for you to think about.
