Holiday Gift Ideas

Gift giving can be a little stressful this time of the year, so take a moment to remember why you are doing it. Maintain a focus on love, gratitude and joy.

Before diving into the lists, know that these are generic ideas to help you with your shopping. Nevertheless think about each person..what they like, their hobbies, their style. The idea is to see the person you love wearing or using your gift.

When selecting an item, ask yourself these questions:

1. Will (person's name) like this item?

2. Will (he or she) use it?

3. Will (he or she) be happy to receive it?

Also ALWAYS double check with yourself:

Am I grabbing this because "I like it" or because "person's name" will like it?

Remember, it is all about the person receiving the gift.

Also when you look at this list, think about personality. When I mention a scented candle, for example, it's not about grabbing the first candle that comes your way. Make sure it will be a candle that your loved one will like. Personalize each gift and buy it with intention. Think about the scent, the design, the brand, etc. It's not about the price, it's about whether or not he or she will like it.

Here are some ideas to help you!
