Finding An Unusual Gift For A Friend Showing An Interest In The Zodiac
Love it or loathe it Christmas shopping is something the majority of us are resigned to doing. But if you have to buy a Christmas gift for an astrology enthusiast it can prove even more of a headache. Here are a few ideas for choosing unusual Christmas gifts that, while targeting star sign fans, are actually applicable to anyone who is hard to buy for.
Perhaps you enjoy the frenzy of gift shopping each year. I hate it. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would far rather do. So I really do not need the extra hassle of hunting for a present for someone with an interest I know little about, such as astrology.
Perhaps you manage to buy unusual gifts for everyone and their faces light up with delight when they open their Christmas presents. My family make polite ripples of appreciation then I find the chocolates, smellies or whatever, tucked away unused in a cupboard six weeks later. (They can usually manage to work their way through the alcohol!)
I really resent time and money wasted on gifts that just do not hit the mark with the recipient. It's not that I'm mean, or uncaring, I just do NOT know what to buy people that will fit in with their interests. I have enough difficulty looking for unusual gifts in areas I know well, without the additional challenge of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.
My family and friends are all lucky enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a present. I imagine a Christmas Porsche for one son would generate plenty of excitement and the other would be thrilled to receive the keys to his own house. But with a tight Christmas budget, lack of time and no idea what presents to buy, I need to get a little creative, particularly when looking for a Christmas gift for a star sign enthusiast.
While still relevant to our astrology fan, let's generalize and look at the top characteristics of unusual Christmas gifts?
1. It should be unusual - not the same old slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look cheap to the receiver - excellent if it's unlikely that they can guess the price
4. It should be useful or (take your pick) completely frivolous
5. It should be something they have always wanted
and/or
6. It should be something they would never think to buy for themselves
7. It should be easy to buy (online is best for me, I have no desire to wait in line for hours to buy this year's latest fad gadget)
8. It would be an added bonus (but not compulsory) if it provided something to talk about instead of the Christmas TV
