'Either we don't allow ourselves enough time or we don't think about the person we are buying for' explains Patricia Davidson, writer of the Shopaholic's Guide to Buying Gorgeous Gifts Online. Davidson says that 'a present that isn't relevant to the recipient might as well not be given' and she couldn't be more right. When buying Christmas gifts for notoriously picky women, we must never forget the five p's; prevent poor pressies with prior preparation! For a stress-free Christmas, we've compiled some crucial things to bear in mind before buying disappointing gifts:
Your mum: Most mothers believe their kids are perfect, so try and prove her right through considerate and imaginative presents. Is she fashionable and always up-to-date with trends? Is she non-stop, always busy and on the go? Does she live in her beloved kitchen or is she green fingered? Try to relate to her lifestyle and choose a gift that she would get lots of use out of. It could be a beautiful accessory or useful gadget, either way, she's sure to be grateful for any gift you've put your heart into.
The sister: There's finally an advantage of siblings cramping your style, living in the same house means that you can easily pick up any hints and ideas about what's on your sister's Xmas list. Has she mentioned anything she needs or is looking to replace? What colour is her bedroom painted? What kind of jewellery does she wear? It's impossible to get it wrong if you've done your homework. (Just be sure to double check with other family members to avoid the awkwardness of doubling up on gifts come December 25th!)
The girlfriend: Get into your girlfriend's good books and avoid frostiness this Xmas by choosing some handmade Christmas gift ideas. A present that shows you've thought about her personal style and taste, like something a unusual and handmade, can mean more than the most extravagant present (predictable gifts like perfume are so obviously panic buys!) You could also choose a present related your relationship- a reminder of a place, adventure or memory you share. A sentimental keepsake instead of an expensive offering can earn you serious kudos.
There's one thing to remember when buying Christmas presents for girls: research. Think about things she buys for herself, incorporate her hobbies, interests and sense of style; it becomes obvious when you pay attention. You definitely shouldn't hazard a guess or simply choose something you would like, your lack of preparation and consideration won't go unnoticed. This Christmas handmade gift ideas are definitely the best bet, as buying original, one-of-a-kind gifts are an easy way to prove you've gone the extra mile. A present that shows you've considered your choice and fully understand the personality of the recipient will definitely go down well as it truly is the thought that counts!
