Need an idea for a gift and not sure where to start? Is your internet research for a gift idea coming up short?
While I am a bit of a techie at heart and enjoy surfing the web, I still find that my collection of merchant catalogs gives me some of the best gift giving ideas.
Here are some thoughts…
- Catalogs plant the ‘seeds’ of a gift idea now that can be used later. I am always amazed at the ingenuity of people who create or improve on many of our day-to-day things we use around home and work. The key here is that catalogs not only sell but they also inform.
- Have your catalogs easily accessible. My entire family has their catalogs sharing space in a magazine basket. Some are kept in the living room, while others were strategically kept in the main wash room.
- Keep an eclectic inventory of catalogs. While men and women have shared interests, it’s a good idea to order catalogs that revolve around the interests of others.
- Order catalogs that you enjoy. Others can experience the same difficulty of finding the right gift for you.
- Keep an updated inventory of catalogs in your catalog basket. Merchants add and remove items from their inventories. It’s a great way to stay on top of rare, odd, or hard to find items.
Catalogs can be a ‘voice’ for communicating your wishes, let alone the interests of family and friends. The next time you’re chatting with someone, mention that cool item that caught your attention in your favorite catalog.
