Look to the Internet for Great Gift Ideas

I must ashamedly tell you…I’m a gift klutz.  No, I don’t stumble and break the gifts before giving.  My problem is that I have an impossible time deciding.  I’m just plain awful at coming up with original gift ideas.  My solution, as you may have guessed by this time, is the Internet.

The Internet is full of the usual and the unusual when it comes to gift suggestions.  Now I realize that everyone is out to make a buck, but that doesn’t bother me in the least.  I’d actually be willing to pay someone just to make the decision for me, so why not buy their products if they can come up with good ideas.  In my country, that’s the patriotic way to look at it!

Where else except the Internet could I have learned that I could get my mother a New York cheesecake instead of the same boring chocolate cake I usually sent her?  Fortunately, I can stretch this one idea out for many years simply by changing the flavor of cheesecake from one birthday to the next.

My sister-in-law has my same decision making problem.  She went online and discovered a jewelry idea for her aunt (on the good side of the family–not mine).  While it turned out well for her, it made me jealous!

You can find gift ideas by searching for age groups, say teenagers (with whom I most the most trouble) and children.  You can also search using your favorite search engine by looking for gifts for a particular occasion from Bat Mitzvahs or Easter, birthdays to graduations, or even those holidays when nobody seems to really know the origin, such as Sweetest Day or St. Astor’s day or Siamese kitten day.  You can even search by the category of the item that you want to give.  For example, you might know that you want to give a video game for a Playstation, a piece of jewelry that includes diamonds (you’ve just moved out of my price range) or even a gift for a dog.

Indeed, there are entire website pages and sites dedicated to people who give gift ideas for gift klutzes like me to steal and claim them as our own.  If you happen to be one of those sorts of blessed people with too many ideas to use yourself, please put them online so that I can find them or you could just send the item directly to me and I’ll forward it to my favorite recipient.  You can count on my everlasting appreciation.
