Time of Giving

Christmas is around the corner and if you're anything like me, then you’re scurrying around shopping malls, flicking through mailers and asking friends what you should get your mum, dad, girlfriend, boyfriend, brother or sister.

All is not lost because with more than a month to go I’ve got a list of gift ideas that are sure to get you brownie points.
These gifts are for him and her so you’ll never need to worry

A watch

Really simple and always does the trick. You can jazz it up a little but righting a little note to go with it.

A Gift Card

For those in your lives who are hard to shop for, then a gift card could be the answer. This can be either a voucher or a an actual card. It shows thought and lets them know you really want them to have something special for themselves.

Jewellery

Diamonds are forever! Jewellery always stays in fashion so it makes for a timeless gift. Don’t go buying fro trademe though, Pascoes or Michael Hill Jeweller has a good range.

Take a Break

Plan a nice little getaway with your significant other. If that’s out of your budget range then maybe a Christmas day l picnic lunch at the beach. It’s not where you go but the company you share, in saying that a family re-union would work nicely.

Digital Compact Camera

Gadgets always make a good gift. A mobile phone with a camera says that you want them to take photos when they want and keep in touch to share them.

Toys

Let the child in you let loose after all it is the silly season. A transformers toy or a anything else will work well as gift or a stocking filler. This is more for the young ones in your family.

Boards Games

Board games make great gifts at Christmas. Don’t forget the classics like Twister, , Monopoly, Connect4, hungry hungry hippos and others

A Charity Gift

Donate to a charity in the person’s name to places in the world that really need it. This is after all Christmas. Or offer them the choice to put money into one of three charities like CCF, Greenpeace or free Tibet.uot;>

A Personalised Gift

There‘s a huge range of quirky, classy, romantic gifts that you can get and personalise to give it that element of extra thought. Rings, bracelets, phones, car plates.

Time

The best gift you can give someone is time. Use it to tell each other how much you care for one another. Use it to enjoy and catch up on moments you’ve laughed, cried and celebrated. The spirit of Christmas revolves around family and friends everything else is just extra.

thanks for this center-stage

I would be pissed if I spent both TIME AND MONEY trying to find my loved one the perfect present and all they give me is \'Time\'

That is NOT on! I want something tangible, something I can unwrap.
