You need some Christmas present ideas -- and fast! Or maybe gift ideas for other holidays -- or even a birthday. I know just how you feel. You don't want to "surprise" your loved ones with the same old same old. But what to do instead?
How about thinking out of the box! Forget all the old standby presents. No more after shave or ties for Dad or the boyfriend. No more perfume or even chocolate for Mom or the girlfriend. Sure, jewelry might always be welcome, but the really good stuff is expensive! Here are a few things you could give them instead:
Think Virtual Gifts
Instead of cluttering up their space even more than it is already, why not clutter up their hard drive instead. Just kidding of course. But seriously. Here's what I'm suggesting: There are some amazing information products out there, and you could have a life-changing effect on your recipient if you find just the right product!
1) Give the Gift of More Money
Why not teach them to fish instead of giving them a fish (metaphorically speaking).
Who couldn't use more money these days? And maybe they've been investing way too much into trying to learn about making money online, all to not much avail, if any.
Yet there are some terrific products out there that can help them build their own online business -- or at least supplement their income nicely. Basically, they're money making gifts. So you'll be doing them a favor if you find a product for them that actually works!
It's important that you check out those products carefully, though. Don't give them a get-rich-quick scheme and watch them bang their heads on their keyboard in frustration a few weeks later.
Stick to products that are clearly legitimate and deliver what they promise. You could pick ones that give step-by-step instructions for how to sell in tried-and-proven marketplaces, such as eBay or
Another possibility are products written by marketers who have made a living online for years and are now sharing how they're doing it. This kind of product can inspire while also get your loved one started on the way to online income.
2) Give the Gift of New Skills
There are also some fantastic courses available online that can teach the lucky recipient skills from learning how to sing or learning a new language. Or even how to manage their time -- or stress -- more effectively!
One drawback of virtual products is that they are, well, virtual. So they're kind of hard to wrap up into a pretty package.
But here's a solution: Why not buy something physical that you can wrap, for example chocolate truffles or some other yummy edibles -- and enclose a pretty gift certificate that tells them about their virtual gift. So they have something yummy to munch on while they explore their virtual gift!
So coming up with great Christmas present ideas doesn't have to be all that hard. But don't forget that the thought still counts. Take some time to think about what the lucky recipient might actually enjoy. A gift doesn't have to be expensive -- or physical. A great course or other informational product can be just the ticket.
