Unique Gifts are a Personal Expression

Showing someone you care is central to gift giving. But, it's not just that.

Gifts can lighten a mood, set a stage,  or speak to a variety of emotions.

Gifts can be given to get a laugh, or pull a leg.

Whatever the reason, gifts are a personal expression.

Unique Gift Tip # 1

When looking for a unique gift from a registry, my advice is this:

Get there among the first 

Don't hesitate...

Why?

  • These are self-identified gifts by the recipients - you can't fail
  • The "best" gifts are snapped up first
  • Early on, the registry will have items for all price points and budgets
  • Items in your price range will be abundant
  • Even with a registry, you can give a more meaningful item. For example, I buy a "forever" kind of gift  - a play/yoga mat for a baby shower, a hand hewn wooden bowl for a bridal shower, or a etched photo frame for a wedding gift. 
  • And finally, it'll be done and off your mind
