How
To Find The Right Valentine's Day Gift For Her
Oh boy! Here comes another Valentine day disaster.
If you are anything like me, this is how you feel for about
2 weeks prior to February 14th. At least that’s the way I felt
until the internet came around.
Now, shopping on the internet can be as daunting as the mall,
especially for the shopping challenged like me. Unless you
have a specific idea what you want, roaming malls can actually
be easier than browsing an online store. Even with high speed
download clicking from page to page looking for gift ideas
just doesn’t work.
So what do you do? You need to get a plan and stick to it…
Let’s
face it. Our typical problem is the lack of thought
and preparation when it comes to Valentines Day. Flowers, chocolate,
dinner out at the usual restaurant just doesn’t cut it after
the first couple of years. (I will say that jewelry usually
does work, but that does get expensive ;-).
So, the plan… Here’s what I do. Typically, after the holidays
my wife and I start talking about where we might be interested
in going for our vacation in the summer. We will talk about
cruises or getting a beach house, or taking the kids to Disney
World. Sometimes, we might even consider a drive to __________
(wherever) to see the sights. The thing I’ve found is that
no matter where you plan to visit, you can find hundreds of
products and information online pertaining to your trip.
The first stop is Amazon.com.
Just search for your destination or your topic. If you are
considering a cruise for the first time, there are several
books outlining the do’s and don’ts when booking a cruise.
The same is true for air travel, or travel outside the country.
You will find paperbacks for under $15.
Second stop is BN.com
Try the same search as you did on Amazon. You’ll find many
of the same books and products (like videos), but they may
have some others that will work.
No matter where you plan to go, search for your destination
in Google. You will find free information on travel to just
about ANY state in the union, and travel agents will gladly
send you more information on more exotic locations.
Now, bundle your new books, videos and brochures together
with the traditional card along with flowers or chocolate and
you have a gift that she’ll remember all year. Typically, you
can do all this for as little as fifty dollars. It’s a winner.
