It’s happened to all of us at some time. Someone meaning well has purchased us a gift that’s just not our style, or size or something we just wouldn’t ever use. Like this for instance:
“What is this, 1958? Give the little wife a blender?”* Just because I like milkshakes doesn’t mean I want a blender as a gift. Sigh.
I don’t want to be that gifter. But I’m pretty sure I have been. So what’s a person to do if they want to ensure they’re always getting the perfect gift? Check out PickURGift for the answer.
So I decided to try it out and make a Wish List for my husband. Registering for an account was easy, I added him as a contact and then I dropped the UR Button into my bookmarks on FireFox. Then I added a Gift Page for him for Father’s Day and went browsing on Amazon.
This way I’m still showing that I showed some thought into picking out the gift, but ultimately he’s choosing the one he would really like the most. It’s a win/win for gift giving! And maybe if I use it, he’ll take the hint and use it too – that way I avoid the whole ‘blender for a gift’ fiasco in the future.
* Yeah, I totally stole that line from the 1991 remake of Father of the Bride.
