I love buying gifts for people! I enjoy finding that perfect something that will bring joy to someone's day. I secretly get a rush out of seeing someone super excited about opening a gift from me. And although I think I do a pretty good job of picking out thoughtful gifts, there are many other times when I am just down right stumped on what to give someone. I tend to run into the same problematic situations when it comes to buying gifts. Maybe I've exhausted all my fresh ideas on what to buy them, maybe they've grown and I don't know what they would like anymore, or maybe I'm just broke and cannot afford to get them much. I'm sure one of these things have happened to you guys at some point!
Luckily, I've developed an easy go-to plan in case I'm having trouble finding a good gift for someone. It easy, cheap, and something that any lady (you can switch out the flowers for something else for a male) would appreciate.
THE GIFT TRIFECTA
1. A Pretty Coffee Mug
2. A Good Book
3. Flowers
It doesn't get easier than that! And its thoughtful and cute. The picture above is the gift trifecta I put together for my friend's mom this past weekend. The coffee mug I bought from target for under $10.00. The flowers were from the farmer's market in Little Italy this past weekend. I stumbled across the cutest flower stand that the sweetest fall arrangements. I bought two mini bundles for $6.00. Lastly, I bought the book Gone Girl in Spanish for around $12.00 and wrapped it in some paper bag type wrapping paper that I had lying around. A simple gift for less than $30.00, which can be done for even cheaper than that. What girl wouldn't want to read a good book, while sipping coffee (or tea) in a cute coffee mug, while being surrounded by flowers? Sounds like perfection to me.
