CHRISTMAS is tomorrow and how often do you run around trying to get that perfect gift for a loved one?
A lot of people always do their last minute gift shopping and end up buying their family or friend a not so well deserved present.
Never rely on simple gifts during Christmas, try going the extra mile and selecting something that will last longer and have sentimental value.
Even making something is more valuable to that person than buying something cheap off the counter.
Website ryot.org has highlighted some of the lame Christmas gifts people should never buy during Christmas.
* Wine.
Wine is for dinner parties. Whiskey, scotch and rare, small-batch rums are for gifting.
* Perfume.
You really have no idea if somebody is going to like a certain scent enough to consistently spray it on their body. Even worse, they could be allergic. And if you already know somebody likes a certain type of perfume or cologne, what’s the point of buying more? You’re sort of just helping them stock up.
* Socks or underwear.
If you’re giving somebody socks and underwear, then you probably know them well enough to know what type of socks and underwear they like, which means you shouldn’t be giving them socks and underwear. You’re better than that. Take it up a notch and get them literally anything else.
* Picture Frame.
It doesn’t matter if it’s an antique, or if it says “Best Friends Forever” on it, or if you crafted it out of driftwood you collected on some deserted beach. Please, do not give people picture frames for Christmas. Instead, consider a piece of unique art, framed or otherwise, or perhaps a thoughtfully curated photo book of your favourite moments together.
