It’s the holiday season and time for giving now. According to positive psychology, gift giving brings more happiness than gift receiving. Each person is unique and each Christmas is special. Watching the gift open with nice surprise and happy smiles shall be memorable moments to treasure for life.

Gift shopping can be fun and stressful. This holiday edition brings you few tips and ideas for gift shopping/selection to reduce holiday stress –
  1. Make a list and get organized, start as early as you can.
  2. Determine a total budget and divide per person.
  3. Think of each person’s characteristics; be creative and personal; or make it simple, asking what the gift receiver needs/wants.
  4. Making it special by Do It Yourself (DIY) - handmade and homemade gifts may worth more than any market value.
  5. Go online for product research for cost comparisons and quality reviews; don’t get ripped off and be sure to read both the 5 star and 1 star rating comments.
  6. Buy online with one larger order if possible, for the benefit of volume discount or free shipping and avoid over crowed stores.
  7. If going store shopping, take a day off and avoid traffic hours.
  8. Don’t buy useless items just for “mission completed”; consider the return hassle or money wasting on unused new items.
  9. If not sure what to give, the best idea is go for health and to show your good heart
    1. A body composition monitor analyzer/scale is a good choice, as it would be suitable for most health conscious people and it is gender neutral. In addition to body weight, other key measuring functions including %of body fat, %water, %muscle mass, bone mass and some with BMI. It stores data for multiple users, which will be a great gift motivating the whole family for their new year’s resolutions and tracking results! Both brands (Withings and EatSmart Precision GetFit) below are highly rated and offer different price range.
    2. Or, if you would like to give a valuable gift for someone special, may consider a smart watch, which signifies traditional time treasure and also go modern with fitness tracker and more features.
  10. If you are really undecided, don’t panic! Get a gift card - as Amazon has everything under the sun and the gift card will not expire, it cannot go wrong!

Trust your smart decisions in holiday gift selection and experience the joy of giving without stress. Happy holidays to all!
