Some Ideas to Get You Started
Here are some pretty general ideas to get your started thinking. But remember the rule: Great gifts come from listening, from genuine curiosity about what people want or need. Whether it's a service or a physical gift, it's meaningful when it's connected to the person who's getting it- which kind of means you have to know a little something about them. If you want to make it real simple, ask your family and friends to register at The Alternative Gift Registry. The Registry allows you to put your non monetary gifts in, just like you would register for china or baby items.
