The holidays are upon us and you are almost out of time.
Okay, WE are almost out of time.
If, like me, you were procrastinating about some of those last gift
purchases or suddenly realized you left someone off your list, it’s time for
Plan B. You need some great quick
ideas. Someone I know had a yearly
habit—he called it a “tradition”—of waiting until Christmas Eve to do his
shopping. He actually found some
pretty nice gifts, probably at a good price, too, but you know you can’t count
on that.
Here are a few last minute ideas:
1. Gift cards.
Yeah, they’re kind of cliché but
they also work! Virtually ALL stores have gift cards so you can get one
specific to a favorite store or hobby or to a nice restaurant—or even to the
local movie theatre for a gift they can share with a friend. Your grocery store
usually carries a large variety of them, so you don’t even need to make a
special trip.
2. Games. Adults and kids all love games and even
some non-gaming people enjoy the easy to use Wii games. You can add a specific game to their
collection or a gift card to a popular game store.
3. Gift sets. You can find a bounty of nicely
packaged gift sets with popular items. There is a gift set to suit ANY wish.
Check out major retailers for one-stop shopping of their gift sets.
4. Small
electronics. You can’t miss with one of
the new electronic gadgets—a new smartphone or MP3 player is a great way to get
the holiday feeling to last. It’s something they will use daily!
With the help of VIGs at ShowUhow.com, you’ll spend less time trying to get clear instructions from a sales rep about how to use your new gadget or TV features or how to quickly assemble a new toy and make it work. VIGs can save you tons of time and spare you the frustration of figuring things out on your own. You can have the VIG playing right in the room with you while you copy what the assembler is doing in the VIG. The faster you get the new toy or playhouse put together the faster everyone gets to relax and play! Try it out this year! It’s almost like a holiday gift for you –the gift of a low-stress holiday.
Happy Holidays!
