Love it or hate it Christmas shopping is something nearly all of us are resigned to doing. But when you have to buy a Christmas gift for an astrology enthusiast it can prove even more of a headache. Here are a few ideas for choosing unusual Christmas gifts that, while targeting star sign devotees, are actually applicable to anyone who is hard to buy for.
Possibly you enjoy the frenzy of gift shopping each year. I hate it. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would far rather do. So I really do not need the additional hassle of searching for a gift for someone with an interest I know little about, such as astrology.
Perhaps you manage to buy unusual gifts for everyone and their faces light up with delight when they open their Christmas presents. My family make polite ripples of gratitude then I find the chocolates, perfume or whatever, hidden away unused in a cupboard six months later. (They can usually manage to work their way through the alcohol!)
I really resent time and money wasted on gifts that just do not hit the mark with the recipient. It's not that I'm mean, or uncaring, I just do NOT know what to buy people that will fit in with their interests. I have enough difficulty looking for interesting gifts in areas I know well, without the additional problem of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.
My family and friends are all fortunate enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a present. I dare say a Christmas Porsche for one son would generate plenty of animation and the other would be thrilled if he received the keys to his own house. But with a tight Christmas budget, lack of time and no idea what gifts to buy, I need to get a little creative, particularly when hunting for a Christmas gift for a star sign enthusiast.
While still relevant to our astrology fan, let's generalize and look at the top characteristics of unusual Christmas gifts?
1. It should be different - not the same old slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look cheap to the recipient - ideal if it's impossible that they can guess the price
4. It should be useful or (take your pick) completely fun
5. It should be something they have always wanted
and/or
6. It should be something they would never think to buy for themselves
7. It should be easy to buy (online is best for me, I have no wish to wait in line for hours to buy this year's latest fad gadget)
8. It would be great (but not compulsory) if it provided something to talk about instead of the Christmas TV
Well, I'm not sure if I've made your Christmas Shopping life any easier or much more difficult with my list of "how to pick a Christmas present" tips, but there are surely some hints for you to think over.
Of course shopping online will save you much stress and time and also give you the chance to click around all the links on a website at a time convenient to yourself, without pushy sales-people following you round.
