Even if you dont have a big budget there are still ways to give the perfect gift, here are some ways to find out what your partner or friend would love to receive. 1. Be Direct! Come straight out and ask your lovemate to make a wish list of things you can afford to buy. 2. Think about his or her interests, what do they love to do, what are their hobbies and interests and that will give you a good hint as to what they would like to have 3. Ask their buddies or co workers if they have any ideas of what would be useful, ask them what they would like. 4. Try to make or order something that is from the heart, a personalized card, a monogrammed gym towel, personalized writing folder, a photo album with his favorite photo of the two of you or your children, or something that has their name or initials on it would be great. 5. Listen carefully to what he or she says. Do you often say they would love to have something, or is there something they are always looking for, perhaps a new travel bag, or something to do with work or sports, or an electronic device? Remember, gift giving doesnt have to break the budget, after all it is the thought that counts!
