Hi Friends,
Christmas and New Year are just around the corner. It is the Season of Giving. Time to buy Gifts for friends and family. It is nice to receive gifts but it also nice to give as well. More importantly please do not buy useless gift in bulk and pass it off as Christmas Gifts. They say that it is the thought that counts but buying things in bulk is not putting any thought at all. It is the easy and insincere way out.
I liked it when company's encouraged to pick a staff's name from a basket of names and you buy a gift for that staff....something that one person would like and cherish. There are a lot of things you can buy. Here are some ideas to help you.
1) CDs- for about S$15-S$20
2) Latest Novels- S$12-S$25
3) Pen (Personalized) -S$20
4) Headphones -S$30-S$200
5) Box of Chocolate-S$10-S$30
6) Perfume- S$60 (only if you know them well)
7) Tie (for Guys)-S$50
8) Misc Books-The Idea Book- www.b1g1.com.
If you are buying for family, then I think you should spend a lot more because family will always be there no matter what happens. Your friends may forget you but your family will be there for you even if you have been insensitive or neglecting them because you know they will always be there,
1) Gift Voucher -S$50-S$100
2) iPad- S$500-S$1,000
3) Holiday Gift Voucher (if they have been planning for a trip surprise them)
4) Messenger Bag-S$50-S$500
5) Instant Digital Camera-S$180-S$300
6) Handbag -S$90-SS$500
7) Leather Watch Case-S$60-S$150
8) Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1"-S$800
9) Children's Toys -Transformers S$30-S$150
10) Children's Toys- Brain Quest -S$18
11) Children's Toys- Sports Apparel, Accessories, etc
Shop early to avoid crowds at shopping malls. Give some thought before you buy someone a gift. It will be worth your while.
And please do not forget the less fortunate. Please support Boys Brigade or World Vision or any other organization of your choice.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! God Bless!
Cheers,
Mark
