Do you want to make people feel loved and absolutely wonderful? I have a friend who always gives me gifts that say he knows my true heart. From teddy bears to poetry books to my now favorite movie - he knows exactly what will make me smile. Of course I return the favor of giving him gifts but always check his wish list first. I am not very spontaneous about my purchases and I wish I was.If you are a little lost at sea on the topic of gift giving then you will understand why I so loved this book. If you ever wished for a gift adviser this book will help you greatly. Some of the ideas for gifts include gourmet chocolates, an origami kit, smoked salmon and a diary. Well OK those are things I'd like. In this book you will find a long list of items to consider.Now some may object to numerology and astrology. I casually looked through those chapters and felt they were OK but not as helpful as other chapters. You can easily skip those chapters if they offend you.The best way to use this book is to make up a list of people you want to buy gifts for. Then as you read you may feel inclined to take notes where appropriate.I did think the chapter on ethical gifts was good and it also comes with a warning. Maybe if you donate money in someone's name you should also give them a little box of chocolates too. That is what I'd like. That way the person doesn't feel bad. Giving a gift in someone's name should feel good. I am personally always delighted when someone tells me they have done this. I think World Vision is the best site for this type of gift giving.So if you are looking for lots of ideas for year-round gift giving this book may provide some helpful guidance. I loved it and think you will too.~The Rebecca Review
