PiscesI Have No CLUE What to Give This Year!!
As if times aren't stressful enough, now we have to figure out the HOLIDAYS! Chill out ... celebrity party planner Lara Shriftman's got the 411.
Entertaining expert Lara Shriftman helps us get through the pain of figuring out what to buy for folks this year.
• Keep the individual in mind and buy specifically for them, don't give them something YOU would like to get.
• Buy something you know the person will want or like. This may sound obvious, but how many of you have received a gift and gone "wha????"
• Give something that you know the person will not purchase for themselves.
• With stricter return policies this year, be sure to enclose the gift receipt within the box.
• Hand write a card to give the gift a personal touch, even if it's a homemade card.
• Gifts don't have to be expensive, you can have fun and get creative. Find inexpensive solutions in momlogic's annual Gift Guide.
• Is your budget extra tight this year (we understand.)? Make your own: cookies for the nanny, a body scrub with a personalized label. Get creative!

Here is a unique affordable gift I give to my friends, family and students who enjoy plants, nature or gardening. A TickleMe Plant!
Ever see a plant move when you tickle it? The TickleMe Plant grows year round indoors, closes its leaves and lowers its branches when it is tickled. It is an easy flowering plant to grow in its own TickleMe Plant Greenhouse. When I first saw it move I was startled and amazed. You’ll love seeing the big smile on the face of the person who sees the plant move for the first time!
