Finding An Unusual Present For Someone Who Has An Interest In Astrology
Love it or loathe it Christmas shopping is something most of us are resigned to doing. But when you have to choose 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 difficult to buy for.
It could be that you enjoy the frenzy of gift shopping each year. I dislike it intensely. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would much prefer to do. So I really do not need the extra hassle of looking 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 noises of thanks then I find the socks, after-shave or whatever, tucked away unopened 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 problems looking for pleasing gifts in areas I know well, without the added difficulty of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.
My family and friends are all lucky enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a gift. I dare say a Christmas Porsche for one son would generate plenty of enthusiasm and the other would be delighted with the keys to his own home. But with a tight Christmas budget, shortage of time and no idea what presents to buy, I need to get a little creative, especially 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 most important characteristics of unusual Christmas gifts?
1. It should be novel - not boring slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look crummy to the receiver - best if it's impossible that they can guess the price
4. It should be useful or (take your pick) totally fun
5. It should be something they have always wanted
and/or
6. It should be something they would never dream of buying for themselves
7. It should be easy to buy (on the Internet is best for me, I have no desire to queue 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 harder with my list of "how to select a Christmas gift" tips, but there are hopefully some ideas for you to think about.
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.
