The Complete Gift Ideas & Shopping List Guide is a book of gift ideas and ready-made shopping lists. It covers holidays, life events and the different people on a gift list. It begins with a simple four-question method for choosing a gift.
Gift ideas are grouped at four budget levels, from small and sweet to a special splurge. Every chapter includes ideas with budget tags, a shopping list, a "Make It Memorable" idea, a watch-out tip and a quick recap, so it can be skimmed quickly.
The guide also covers ways to give, including wrapping ideas, gift games like Secret Santa and white elephant, family traditions, last-minute and long-distance solutions, and eco-friendly choices.
