Finding the perfect birthday present for a loved one isn’t always easy. Not all of us possess that fine, enviable skill for picking out the right gift. If you’ve ever entertained the thought that giving out a foot mat for your anniversary is a good idea, then that means you’ll probably find yourself in bind, wracking your brain for suggestions. No worries. Here’s how to make sure you don’t end up embarrassing yourself with your gift choices this year:
Make a list
Think of all the things that the person you’re buying a gift for is interested in. Does she love bowling? Is she an avid bowling player? You might want to shop around for bowling toys then.
Wrap it right
Don’t just give out those toys in a box, though. Turn the entire gift-giving experience into an event. Pick the right package and have it wrapped up with a ribbon. You might also want to hide a secret message in the wrapper so the person has something more to look forward to than simply tearing off the package to get to the gift inside.
Look to the past
If your loved one loves bowling, chances are she’d already have a ton of toys and items that celebrates her love for the game. Snoop around and take note of these items so you won’t accidentally buy her something she already has. Be subtle about it, though, so she won’t catch on.
Consider what she needs
It might seem difficult to find something she needs, but it’s not entirely impossible. You just have to be creative, says the Huffington Post. If she needs time to relax and unwind, then buying bowling toys that can amuse her and can take her mind off her worries at work might just be exactly what she needs.
