Tip #18 – Simplify Your Gift Giving

Gift giving can be perceived in two ways – as a privilege or as a chore. Some may feel that the simple thought of trying to think of something to get, is overwhelming; especially when others are asking for suggestions. A simple way to make gift giving more easy, apply these 4 principles.

Go Get ‘Em!
