How to Make that Unique Treasure (Even the One’s You Don’t Like) Work for Someone!
Don’t you wish you actually got something you liked? I will show you a better way. In my opinion the best gifts to give anyone are coffee gift baskets.
Unfortunately, we don’t always receive something as cool as Gift Baskets. That’s why I’m hear to help.
Everyone has been given something that is not the most desired gift. You can donate it to a worthy cause, or post it on www.freecycle.com where everything donated is free to users. You might hide the unwanted gift in a box where you may never run into it again. Whatever you do please do not throw the gift away.
We all know about re-gifting, a risky and often unsavory practice. Regifting is never a acceptable practice. Especially if the person that gave you the gift finds out. There are a number of ways to make use of your gift, without the awkward and deliberate re-wrapping and passing along.
1. Create a “Treasure Box.” I use a large tote. Make sure that you put a post-it note on the item, and secure it with tape telling whom the item is from.
2. If you receive stuff you can’t use put it all together in the box.
3. It is wise to categorize all the items and place them together.
4. To give a “re-gifted” treasure, make sure you have at least 3 similar items. Let’s say movies. Take the movies, and place them in a gift bag with a bow. Include candies, chocolate, or whatever else you want to make the gift go further. If you are giving the movies to an adult or family, put in a homemade gift certificate for one night of free babysitting (if they have kids). The trick is to only purchase small items that add up to a big gift. Make sure that you are not giving the gift back to the person that gave it to you.
Now those horrible or duplicategifts you have acquired don’t need to go to waste.
If you want to give a gift that someone really wants I suggest giving custom Gift Baskets. So head on over to Nectar of Life Organic Coffee Company, they’ve got a great selection of coffee gift baskets and other gifts.
