Right now we have just passed the holidays. I dare say, the only common summer holidays, though not requiring gifts. And all the rest of the year there are numerous festivals, gifts required.
In the fall of all those who have school-age children, give the presents mentor their offspring in the Teacher's Day, the spring necessary to bestow the familiar female from her mother to the boss, to the eighth of March, let alone the winter and say nothing: the New Year, Christmas, Valentine's Day and the Day of Defenders of the Fatherland. And the birthday of friends, though, and once a year, but some friends a lot.
Why am I all about?
Once I read an autobiographical book by a French writer mediocre. The main theme of the book was the author's stinginess. As evidence of their own avarice avtoressa led a fact she never bought gifts especially familiar to the day of the celebration. On the contrary. Lady cleverly tucked use any cases. A cup for a friend, collect cups, gathering dust on a shelf waiting for the birth of a friend six months after it was bought for the occasion in the duty-free Asian airport, and from Salem, New York, famous for its otherworldly, as they say, democratic prices, writer dragging bags of clothes for all the family - a hair's breadth Russian shuttle era of primitive accumulation of capital. And gradually give away: niece confirmation dress, jeans dad for Father's Day (in the West reason for gifts too short), aunt blouse for Easter ...
I think, frankly, the behavior of the writer is not stingy, and the practicality and organization. And we have at the bow just sales, which is a sin not to take advantage, although gifts purchased these days, quite possibly, will be required no earlier than October. Let me offer you a few
Tips for early gift purchases
1. Make a list of bookmarks in a separate birthdays of their friends from among those who must necessarily be "opodaren" you.
2. Assign a hobby after each name of the candidate for a gift, his preferences (better to allocate to it a separate page - tastes change). Example. "Anna, 58 years old, dob June 25 loves perfume Diorissimo, embroidery and baking cakes." You'll know in advance who buy on the occasion of a set of forms on sale in Ikea or vial Diorissimo in client day at Il de Bote, when the chosen brand discount maximum. In addition to the purchase and gifts - to the spirits can give, say, body lotion - can, leafing through a booklet, to forward to someone else.
3. Be sure to enter on every page under "already present", and presented gifts to make, not to be repeated.
4. Under those loved ones who you think it is possible to give the clothes make the size - to jeans for the pope did not have to end up peredarivat cousin nephew of another six months.
5. Do not neglect accident liked inexpensive and fun thing, which at first glance no one to give away - like a corkscrew Alessi or recently released for sale in London Selfridges painted elephants (a few are copies of the 250 large painted elephants, arranged in London for charity).
Perhaps this gift will help you out in case of unexpected visit to the birth of a new day (a little) friend: his tastes you do not know, but a funny, albeit without the "values", the gift will allow you not to lose face.
6. Treat the process with humor and do not consider yourself a miser - misers give nothing at all, and now the times of crisis.
7. Do not forget that in the case of gifts the closest people on duty souvenir do not - sometimes you have to ignore the principles and to give her daughter a birthday is not economical Barbie Winter sale, and super expensive and just appeared on the shelves Winx - girly (as and sons, father's and mother's) dreams still deserve respect.
Enjoy the shopping!
