How to Give a Memorable Christmas Gift

Giving a Christmas gift has become too rote nowadays. The surprise is often gone due to wish lists and gift cards. If you want to make this Christmas one that your special someone will never forget, try this inexpensive 12-step approach to holiday gift giving based on "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• A list of the gifts from "The Twelve Days of Christmas"
• A little imagination
• Some disposable income
• A calendar

1. Using the gift list from the song, begin thinking of small theme oriented gifts that have some connection to the specific day of the song. An example would be a small plant or pear flavored dessert to go along with "a partridge in a pear tree." Think of an appropriate gift for all 12 days.
2. On December 14th, give the first gift to your loved one. Proceed toward December 25th, giving one gift per day in the order of the song. On Christmas Day you should be at "twelve drummers drumming."
3. Enjoy the gift of giving and the accolades you will receive from jealous gift givers who will inevitably scream, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the gifts small and inexpensive. In this case, it really is the thought that counts. Your loved one will be so impressed with your efforts that the lavishness of the gift will barely matter.
• Sing the entire song to them on Christmas Day, substituting your gifts for the lyrics of the song.
• Don't get too caught up in matching the themes. Some days of the song can be difficult to match. Use the number of the day to buy that particular quantity of things they love. Example, a 6 pack of beer on the sixth day.
• Have fun with your ideas. Humor is mandatory.
• Start early. You do not want to be running around, fighting crowds and searching for anything at the last minute.
