Making that Unique Treasure (Even the One’s You Don’t Like) Work for You!

Don’t you wish you actually got something you liked?  There really is a simple answer to all this gift giving business.  The answer is Gift Baskets.

Unfortunately, we don’t always receive something as cool as Gift Baskets.  That’s the reason for my gift to you.

Everyone has been given a present that is simply horrible.  You can donate it to a worthy cause, or post it on www.freecycle.com where everything donated is free to users.  You may bury the horrible gift in a box where you will hopefully never run into it again.  Whatever you do don’t dispose of the item.

We all know about re-gifting, a hazardous and often unsavory practice.  Re-gifting is usually never a acceptable practice.  Most importantly if the individual that gave you the gift finds out.  There are numerous ways to make use of your gift, without the awkward and deliberate re-wrapping and passing of the gift.

1.  Make a special gift box.  Be sure to mark the item with whom it is from.

2. Items that you cannot use, or you have duplicates of, all get put together in the same box.

3. Make sure to lump together similar items, i.e. electronics.

4. Try to give multiples of a like item.  For example favorite films.  Take the DVDs, and gift wrap them. You can add to the theme of the gift by including popcorn.  If you are giving the DVDs to an adult or family, put in a homemade gift certificate for one night of free babysitting (if they have kids).  Regifting, if done properly, can be personal and inexpensive.  Make sure that you are not giving the gift back to the individual you originally received it from.

Now those not so zesty or duplicategifts you have acquired don’t need to go to waste.

If you want to give a gift that someone really wants I suggest giving custom Gift Baskets.  There’s no better place to find a gift basket than at Nectar of Life Organic Coffee Company.
