It is a mid November and gift giving season is already here. Even that the Thanksgiving is not the oficially gift giving holliday you can’t just arrive to a dinner with empty hands. What to bring?

Wine is the most acostom however if you are not wine conoseur I would suggest you opt for some other gift (unless of course you know exactly what the host like).

Food items are also very common to bring but make sure you speak to the host before and make sure to bring a unique item because nobody wants to end up with an apple pie competition.

Flowers are always a good gift, you will be remembered for it by everyone as they easily will beautify the table.

And if you are not into it, get your hostess something to help her relax ones it all over.

Black friday marks the oficcial bigining of huge shopping spree for everyone. Stores remain open till late, Christmas music is so encouraging and sets your mood on shoppig for gifts.

This year retailers are starting early an many of Black Friday offers are already active and you can shop online as well.

I personally enjoy Black Friday shopping. I like seeing happy people around. Everyone is smiling even while standing in huge line. So many offers around but it is very easy to become overwhelmed so lets get to little planing.

1. Make a list of all people who you will give gift. use your cell phone as it is always with you.

2. Next to each name write down how much do you want to spend on that gift (more expensive is not always the best but knowing your limits will make you stick to the budget)

3. Point 3 areas of interest of the person. even if you think you dont know that particular person much to know their interests I bet if you think about it a little you will get a hint. Like for example a coworker who always is borrowing phone charger or the one who has many family members pictures around the office.

4. Check what items from the list you can buy online, remember most of the tech items are very easy to buy online.

5. Dont forget your neighborhood food store. Most of them will have available a service of gift packaging and many will do it for free, you just have to pay for items.If you are giving food, make sure to know of the recipient’s food allergies or preferences.

6. Don’t double think. If you saw something and thought of that one friend, dont think it twice. Many times it would happen to me, and I thank my husband for forcing me to concentrate and it always works.

7. Check Inspirational boards and gift guides they will give you some good and affordable ideas.
