We try every year to think of what to buy our nearest and dearest, the distant relatives and work colleagues. Often sheer frustration drives us into the arms of the ordinary, boring and downright horrible.
Christmas Brain Drain
Sometimes the ho, ho, ho becomes help, help, help way before the day itself. We realise that we haven’t even thought of gifts to give, let alone braved the shops to actually buy them. Then there is the ‘what the hell to buy’ moments because you have drained the brain each year, and each year the same panic creeps in.
The Speedy Christmas Shopper
There are the gamblers who decide they can wrap up the whole process of buying pressies with a good list and one day at the shops, so leave it to the last minute. That plan usually comes crashing down around their ears when they actually get to the shops. They spend an hour trying to track down a pressie for one person and then look at the list to find that there are another 15 gifts to go. The hunt has taken its toll, and the stomach is rumbling. Time to stop for refreshments. The list is still burning a hole in their pocket, and they feel exhausted just thinking about the time that it will take to cross off the names and return home triumphant.
The Super-Organised Trap
The super-organised would have you believe that they have every gift wrapped and under their tree weeks before the big day. They even shop in the January sales for the Christmas to come. They are sorted, but are they? Buying gifts virtually a year before the Christmas in question is a risky business. There is a reason why what’s left in the shops is cheap. Yes, you got it, no one wanted them. So, you have to ask, will the recipient of your bargain-basement gift like your gift either? If it is clothing, then fashion changes so fast, they will invariably have moved on to a different style or colour – very risky. Toy fashion changes too, so if you do go for last year’s must-have you will be viewed as a bit of a dinosaur.
The Gift That is Available 24/7 – Even on Christmas Day?
There isn’t one single person, young or old, that doesn’t like an adventure. Well, we have never come across anyone yet. So, if you want a fool-proof, fashionable gift that you don’t have to trawl the shops to find – AND – you can buy it last minute. Last-minute meaning right up to and including Christmas Day, then give them over 100 adventures that they can use at over 2,000 venues in the UK and Ireland. There is a better adventure gift voucher out there. It comes in a fancy box so it will look good beneath the tree, and comes complete with an adrenalin catalogue. But, if you want it NOW, no problem. Just opt for the emailed giftcard, and it will be in your inbox, or your chosen recipients INSTANTLY.
