Christmas is coming. Time of joy, of hope, of great moments with loved ones, of purposes to mend and improve our lives, moments of anecdotes and memories, to give thanks for everything we have and ask for all our wishes and dreams to come true … And a great time to give gifts, it is one of the best times of the year to give gifts to friends and family.
We are overwhelmed because it comes to our memory all the people to whom we have to give gifts, the large number of stores that we are going to have to visit and the multitude of rolls of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes that we are going to use to wrap all the packages that are going to flood our home. It is natural for us to become anxious about the situation, but the gifts that we have to give at Christmas do not have to become a problem, it all depends on knowing how to organize and planning. The first thing we have to be clear about is who we are going to give as gifts.
- Gifts for children. Don’t worry about gifts for the little ones, there is a great variety. You can choose from the most classic, such as dolls or cars; even the most modern ones such as video game consoles, a tablet or the smartphone that you have been wanting to have for months.
- Gifts for parents. Giving your parents gifts many times is a task that seems “mission impossible” and it is not because there is no diversity for them, but because we are not clear about what they are going to want or what may interest them. It is essential to be attentive to their tastes and predilections to get the gift right.
- Gifts for grandparents. The opposite happens with them as with our parents. Grandparents love us so much that they will always be happy and they will like the gift we give them. This should not cause us to become complacent and not be attentive to what they like or, above all, what they need.
- Gifts for friends. Open your imagination and take advantage of it to find out what to give to your friends, there are great chances that you will be right if you give them what you would like them to give you; many times the tastes of friends coincide with ours. With them the gifts of jokes and nothing formal triumph.
- Gifts for your partner. On these occasions, romanticism or gifts to share reign, such as an article or object for your home or a trip together. Pay close attention to what you are going to give to your partner because you play a lot!
- Gifts for children. If they are older, let them choose what they want, if they are young you can be attentive when they play with their friends at school to see what toys they play with or are interested in. In any case, do not allow them to be capricious and always keep in mind what they need or need: clothes, school supplies, footwear …
Finally, let me give you a little advice. When it comes to wrapping our gifts, I always prefer to do it by the packaging method, since it is more convenient to pack them in this way and this type of boxes protects the gifts very well.
Whatever the gift or present you are going to make and for whom it is directed, surely in the end you will feel good and you will get great satisfaction when you realize all the people you will make happy. Without realizing it, the time will come when you find yourself in your living room, sitting at the dining room table and wrapping gifts with a smile, imagining the faces of happiness and joy that your friends and family will have when they receive their gifts.
You just have to wait with open arms for your gifts to arrive.
A big hug and see you in my next post.
