Great Gift Giving Is A Creative Art

By Sandra K. Ziebold

Active listening and caring are key.  Pay attention to what people say and gravitate toward.  This is at the core of making a great gift choice.  If it comes from the heart and you were attentive to who they are and what they like, then your gift will surely please.  The selection of a gift for someone else should have nothing to do with you and everything to do with what you know they will like, want or need.  This applies no matter the event, holiday or if it's a just because gift.

Depending on the individual and interest area (tech, art, literary, handy-guy/gal, etc.) here are some gift giving suggestions:

• Techies in need of a gift might just have an interest in being one of the first to get a phone drone.  This tool can be purchased for an early backer kickstarter reduced rate right now and all indications are that it will likely retail for approximately $300 after November.  They also have a high powered drone xPlusOne.  I'm intrigued!  Last week, xCraft, the company bringing us phone drone was unanimously and exponentially backed by all five sharks on Shark Tank.  view video

• Literary lovers in need of a gift might just have an interest in a literary scarf via uncommongoods.
  

• Handy-guys/gals in need of a gift might just have an interest in the amazing and very handy WORX JawSaw.

• Art lovers in need of a gift might just have an interest in my unique original artwork Damselfly Black Velvet.  Turn your living space into an art gallery with 'Damselfly Black Velvet' by Sandra K. Ziebold.  Damselfly Black Velvet:  Framed/16x10/$105
