Juicy Fruit Gum...Who Knew
"So what should I get?" We tend to end up scratching our head over this question many times. I see many of you (not all of you), puzzled over what to put in a gift package or what to get that special someone quite a bit. But don't fret! It's not that hard....trust me. We all have different personalities and peculiarities, but it really boils down to the thoughtfulness of the gift.
I have a friend who went on and on and on about Juicy Fruit gum. It came up in an off conversation we were having a long time ago. You see, my friend lives in Europe and currently lives in W. Africa where this gum is not readily available to her. When I spotted the gum at a local supermarket, I immediately remembered our conversation and the excitement in her voice. I got some, wrapped it and sent it to her.
She was soooo happy. She felt heard & special, and really that's what we're trying to accomplish when we're gifting. You want them to know that you're thinking of them and that they're truly appreciated.
Next time you're thinking of what someone would like, try and remember the little (and big) things that come up in small conversations. Also, think of how they reacted to something they tried or something you were wearing or eating.
Thoughtfulness is the key!
