How to Give the Perfect Gift in 5 Simple Steps

It is coming up on your Mother-In-Law's birthday and you know you need to get her a gift.
DON'T PANIC.
You can give a perfect gift every time for anyone on your gift giving list if you simply follow these 5 easy steps: First you need to take some time and think about your Mother-In-Law (wife, brother, co-worker, sister, or friend as the case may be) and what she likes.
There are some Mom's out there that do not talk about themselves or what they like very often.
But think about what she has commented positively about.
Also note what articles she may read in the paper, causes she is involved in, and magazines that she reads for more ideas.
Next, you need to gather those thoughts and write them down.
This will give you a list of possible gift ideas to work with.
Make a list and if you can place the items on order of how positively she has mentioned the items or how enthusiastically she talked about them.
Then, you need to consider your budget.
While she may talk about the day she would like to have a private chef and a live-in maid, not all things are budget friendly.
You definitely do NOT have to break the bank to impress the Mom in your life, it REALLY IS the thought that counts.
Make sure you put in a lot of thought! After you have your list of ideas and budget together, then you can start making decisions.
Base your buying on the things that she is most interested in that most closely matches your budget and go for it! Make sure you consider FREE options as well like doing a service for her.
I know economic times are hard and buying a gift might not be feasible.
Don't forget the CARD! In this card be sure to talk about why you thought that she might enjoy the gift you picked out.
This will go far! Remember, this card can be hand-made! Take some time to make it pretty, she will love it! With these steps you are sure to give the perfect gift every time.
Happy Gift Giving!
