Knowing someone and their interests will give you a head start. This way you will be able cut down your options in finding a gift that’s more suited to them and that’s more personal. This could be a sports magazine subscription, a book about pottery or tickets to a night at the theater.
2. Include a little bit of yourself.
This makes the gift that much more personal and memorable. Create a piece of art, write a song, knit a scarf – just add your own personal touch. There are a few things that make a gift more special than knowing someone thought about it.

4. Surprises will never get old.
Not knowing what the gift is or when the person is going to get it creates even more excitement for you and them. So surprise someone, be it an unexpected dinner, a day at the spa or throwing that partly celebration when they least expect it.
5. Stalk them if you have to. No it’s not creepy.
Remember this is someone you care about and sometimes you have to go the extra mile to make them that much happier. So do some sneaking around to see what they really want or need. Ask their friends, parents or colleagues to see what they have been talking about the most in the office or if they have been spending time on holiday destination sites during office hours.
