When buying for another person, there’s a number one thing you always have to keep in mind, you’re buying for them and not you. When buying a gift for a friend or family member, make sure you know what they like. If you’re not sure, bring them out for a day at the mall and see what catches their eye. If you’re making them a home made gift there are a bunch of ideas that you can do. If you have a buddy at college you could always make them a cute corkboard with their favorite colors, you might even help them keep track of their stuff. If you have had a friend who's been there for you for forever, you’re bound to have countless memories and phrases that are in danger of being forgotten. You can make them a memory safe by starting with a wooden box, decorate and paint it yourself then fill it with papers, pictures, drawings, phrases and memories that will always make them laugh. If you have grandparents or elderly relatives they will always appreciate hand made cards and crafts. Making Christmas ornaments its quick, easy, and always fun. This great gift idea will reappear every Christmas on their tree, and always make them think of you. The way you can make one of these is by taking a clear glass bulb and pouring their favorite colors inside, swirl the paint, turn the bulb upside down and let the excess paint drip out. Once it dries you can tie a ribbon with a tag saying whatever will put a smile on their face. One thing to remember during the holidays is that buying gifts for people isn’t all about the price, it’s about the love and thought that makes it unforgettable.
