A little thought into your loved one's personality will help you to understand what kind of gift they would really love.

What does your loved one like?

• Listen to them for verbal clues as to gifts they may like
• Observe what they do, movies they watch, sports they play etc.
• Look at what they already have and think of complimentary gifts

What makes them so special to you?
