Welcome to the first issue Gift Giving Made Easy.

The holidays are drawing near. It's time to start thinking about the
gifts that you're going to give all of the special people on your
Christmas list.

In each issue of Gift Giving Made Easy we are going to share with
you some of the best gift ideas for the important people on your list.
We will talk about all types of gifts for any budget including creative ideas, gift baskets , handmade presents and much, much more!

We are going to start off this series by talking about some of the
most timeless holiday gifts that you can give.

Throughout our lives, there are certain constants that always
remain. Whether it is a simple black dress that goes with anything,
or the suit blazer that can be worn with a T-shirt, a collared shirt or
even formal wear. Or even how a pair of jeans always remains in
style - there are always a few timeless items that never truly grow
old. This article is to help you with some timeless holiday gift ideas
that are sure to last more than a lifetime.

Issue #3

In the last issue we talked about great gifts for under $25. In this issue we are going to talk about the gift of food in baskets, bottles and boxes.

Gifts of food, whether home made or store bought are always
appreciated. You can buy decorative boxes, all sizes and shapes
of baskets, or use bottles ranging from empty liquor bottles to the
standard Mason jar. Visit your local retail shops or check on-line
auction sites for great deals on baskets, bottles and boxes.

For those of you who love to bake, whipping up a couple dozen of
five or six different types of cookies and boxing them with a pretty
bow make a delicious holiday gift for friends, family or even your
child's teacher. Kick the gift up a notch by adding some homemade candies.

Issue # 4

No matter what your gift giving needs you will probably be able to
find a "club" that will suit you. There is the "Pasta of the Month"
club or the "Lobster of the Month" club. You can choose from the
Cheesecake or the Cookie of the month club. You can opt for ice
cream or salsa, coffee or tea, BBQ or hot sauce and for those who
prefer non-edibles the "Necktie of the Month" club and "Movie of
the Month" club.

Here a couple of sites that have great gift of the month items to offer:

Club Offers - they have a wide variety of fruit, food, sweets, drinks,
flowers and more. http://www.club-offers.com

Amazing Clubs - they have an assortment of club of the month.
Items such as beer, wine, dinner, flowers and even a chocolate
club. http://www.amazingclubs.com

Make sure you look for your next issue soon. We will be talking about special gifts just for him.

Issue # 11

One way to handle the "what to buy" dilemma at the holidays is by purchasing a pair of tickets to an event that you know the special person on your list will enjoy. This is Especially nice when you are getting something that they wouldn't necessarily buy for
themselves. I say a "pair" of tickets because most events are better if you can take someone with you.

A pair of tickets or a season subscription for a local theater for the people on your list who enjoy watching plays. They don't have to be Broadway, or even off-Broadway, productions. There are a
great number of amateur playhouses (some that also serve dinner) and many communities, colleges and even some high schools put on performances that are highly enjoyable. The same goes for concerts, check your local chamber of commerce to see what your community offers. There's nothing like an outdoor
concert under the stars to help shed the day's tension quickly.
