Meaningful Gift Giving

Ever wonder "What should I buy?" Gift giving can be challenging, especially when wanting to purchase a meaningful gift for someone who seems to have it all. You want to give something memorable, something that expresses to your special someone how you feel.

Whether you are aware of it or not, the gifts you give are a symbol of your thoughts and feelings to the gift recipient. You may not really know the person well, or you know them quite well but don't want to give a run-of-the-mill gift. Or you've run out of ideas. Or you're on a tight budget.

No matter what your circumstances, you can give a creative gift that will always be treasured, whether it costs $1,000 or $1.99, or you're regifting something you've found in nature that didn't cost you a penny. But now you can purchase a guide that will help you choose your gift, know its deeper meaning, what to write in a gift card or on a gift tag with your heart-felt sentiments, and have your gift stand out from all the others.

The Language of Gifts: The Essential Guide to Meaningful Gift Giving by Deanna Washington is one of our favorite go-to books. Sometimes purchasing a gift certificate or gift card is appropriate and appreciated, but if you're ready to step away from the pack and give something "different," this book's for you.
