need unique gift ideas?

Are you a procrastinator? Waiting until the 11th hour to buy that "perfect" shower or graduation gift? Well, here are some ideas or tips that might help make buying gifts a bit simpler. I like to call this my "recipe for gift giving success":

1 cup - time: think through what the gift receiver likes to do in their spare time (golf, shopping, watch movies, cook, etc.)

1/2 cup - research: look online for ideas by searching for websites associated with their interests or other websites, which will pair gifts to the receivers personality (http://www.gifts.com/)

1 tsp - input: ask their close friends or family for input on your initial ideas

2 cups - personalization: it's very important to make your gift personal--whether it be by incorporating an "inside joke" that you have with the receiver or something associated with a shared experience.

As always, I would encourage you to visit our website: www.uinstitches.com for more gift giving ideas.
