So now your really down to the wire… With what hours remain, if you are fortunate enough to get though the traffic and to a store of your choosing, my suggestion is to head towards the book store and find a subject that your recipient loves!  A good book is always a welcome gift, something you can get at the last minute and something that the person receiving will cherish in the dull months of January and February! So run as quickly as possible to your local book store and wow them with a gift they will truly adore!

So, you have one day left- one day to find perfection and get them a gift of wow and wonderment! Is this person a chef? Do they love to spend time in the kitchen?  If they are anything like me or some of my clients, cooking is a true love and this year is the time to get the something special!

Merging a gift with that of an experience for the two of you can be a huge success this time of year! How about the latest Kitchen Aid mixer paired with a Cookie Making Class in January? Or perhaps an on the counter wine chiller paired with a private tasting at The Wine School of Philadelphia? Or maybe, just maybe, a new flask paired with tickets to tour the newest local distillery? Make this year special for the your recipient and pair something they love with the gift of experience. Questions? I am still available for discussion and ideas- feel free to call me!

So, now we are really down to the wire, aren’t we? Have you finished your shopping yet? No? Really? Don’t frett, I still have a couple of ideas up my sleeve.  Keep reading daily and see if you can’t find that perfect present for your loved one!

Another perfect “go to” gift- a present that everyone will appreciate- is the gift of great scent.  Unless allergic, there are so many different types of fragrance and such a variety to choose from that this is one gift that will always be a success! Perhaps perfume is too strong? Fragrance can sometimes be too overpowering. That’s quite alright, though, there are many different ways to wear a scent.  You can always try their favorite scent in an oil, creme or lotion, which will present the fragrance in a softer way! Questions?  Need a last minute basket for someone close?  Give a call and I will be sure to get you taken care of before the holiday on Thursday!

Okay, now we get to the really important people on the list- the person you want to thrill because of how important she is to you! Someone who you want to say thanks to, one who deserves more appreciation than they will ever know, the one who has your heart.  This could be a significant other, a mom, a wife or even a sister.  This woman in your life is incredibly important and you want to pull out all of the stops for her and make the holidays a special occasion!

Nothing says luxury, good taste and fabulous surprise like a great handbag! Give me hundreds or give me thousands and I can put together a gift fit for the most discerning of clients. There are so many options to choose from, be sure to understand her personality and what she is looking for when you venture into the store to find that perfect gift. Need ideas? As always, I am happy to oblige- call me and we will make that perfect gift happen together!

You did remember that person who makes everything better for you, right?  You know, the one who does those little incidental things really make your life easier… It could be the person who delivers your mail, the hairdresser, or even the person who cleans your home. The people who serve you and make your life easier or better in some way deserve to be cherished and appreciated!

Though cash is always king when it come to those who serve you best, the next best thing is sweets! A fabulous assortment of candy from a specialty shop can be just the thing the doctor ordered at the end of a stressful holiday season. Whether chocolate, specialty coffees and hot chocolates, gourmet candy or even a great bottle of wine, show them you appreciation with a token they will remember! Call me with what you are looking for or even a new idea and I am sure to make it happen!

On the Ninth Day of Christmas…

Hello again and Happy Monday!  As we continue through the 12 days of gift giving, one person in particular might be tough to purchase that perfect gift for- the man in your life!  Typically he won’t have a laundry list of items he wants, because gift receiving will not be high on his list of priorities. For myself and my clients, I try to dig and find out what the he likes to do and build a gift or experience around it.  This will make it memorable for years to come, something that will set you apart from the other gifts he’s received!

So, is he a clothes hound? Perhaps he’s incredibly particular about the watch that he wears? Does he love the arts & theater? Or perhaps he has a sports that he adores?  Giving a gift that resonates with him for years to come might be as simple as merging an interest with the tangible and intangible- a gift that includes something he loves and a chance to experience it in a new way!  You could try cigar sampling at Holt’s followed by dinner at his favorite restaurant in town…  Or how about tickets for his favorite team merged with an autograph from the star player… Is he a Hemingway fan? A weekend jaunt to Chicago, a tour and his favorite editions all wrapped and ready for the holiday… Sound good? I challenge each of you to take a look at where your favorite man’s interests are to see if you can’t come up with something! If you need help, I am always ready with ideas if you provide the interests. Let me guide the way to make sure this year’s gift is one he will remember!
