Gifted: 1,000 Gift Ideas for Everyone in Your Life by Sarah Weidman (Author)From a self-proclaimed shopaholic, Gifted identifies more than 20 different personalities-from The Curious Kid and The Sporty Adventurer to The Big Boss, The Quirky Pal, and The Sweet 16-and provides specific and original ideas for each one. The first gift guide to organize gift recipients according to personality type, Gifted:
- Provides essential shopping info, such as where to buy each gift online and how much they cost.
- Inspires out-of-the-box thinking when it comes to gift ideas.
- Presents unique services, stores, and products.
- Introduces new and creative occasions for giftgiving, such as the Nouveau Divorcé, The Mommy-Any-Minute, and the Gay Hooray.
A fantastic resource for hundreds of "never knew that was out there" gift ideas. The book is well organized into 30 chapters with gift ideas for teens, parents, kids, bosses, gay, mom to be, etc. Each suggestion is followed by a short description and a web site address. Who knew you could buy a customized Rubik's cube with your photos on each side, Nesting dolls with your family painted on them, a tonsillectomy survivor kit, a bowling ball with Hello Kitty on it or a Jello shot kit. There are dozens of "...of the month" ideas and lots of resources for customized items. At best you'll find something that will leave everyone thinking you are a clever and imaginative gift giver. At worst you'll get a good laugh out of some of the ideas.
