Clock Buyers Gift Guide
1. Choosing the Right Gift
How do you choose just the right
gift for someone special? First ask about the persons
interests, hobbies, passions, etc. Consider their personality.
Are they practical, whimsical, organized, care-free, casual,
formal, a prankster, etc?
Ask
questions like:
-
What is their lifestyle? What is their age? Where
do they live (climate, urban/rural)
-
What do they do with their free time? What grade or
profession are they in?
-
What culture/heritage/religion are they? What style
of home, furniture, clothes, etc. do they like?
The
answers to these questions will help you create a gift-giving
"e;profile"e;, which will help you to narrow your gift
choices. Home decor items like lamps, clocks, art, and giftware
make great gifts because they will be used by the special
person everyday. Every time they use your gift, they will think
of your thoughtfulness.
Unlike larger ticket purchases like furniture,
decor items fit into most normal gift price ranges and can
reflect your good taste without disrupting the recipients theme
or room style.Lamps are a great addition to a room, to help
brighten dark corners or the highlight dimly lit work areas. Clocks are a classy gift. Just like
watches, clocks can be given for special occasions like
graduations, anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, etc. They will
be looked at often, and have traditionally been given for
special occasions. Home Decor and giftware items can add an
individual flare to a room and can reveal your thoughtfulness,
being sensitive to the recipient's style and fashion
taste. Gift basket can be loaded with lots of goodies.

2. Smart Gift Shopping
To help stretch your gift-giving dollar and
reduce returns, try these tips:
-
Plan ahead! Keep a list of birthdays,
anniversaries, etc.
-
Purchase a gift when you find it, even if the
occasion is several months away.
-
Select quality gifts and choose color/style to
please the recipient.
-
When in doubt, choose gifts that they will actually
use. Practical items are usually better than novelty,
-
Gifts do not have to be expensive to be appreciated
or appropriate. Gifts that show your time and effort are just
as special as expensive ones. Mom was right, its the thought
that counts, and If you can surprise them with your
thoughtfulness, you will be remembered.
-
Avoid religious gifts except for close family
members of the same religion.
-
Save your receipts just in case a return or an
exchange is necessary.
-
The
humane society does not recommend pets as proper gifts.
-
Stick with the recipient's favorite
brands
