subject: Share A Smile With Christmas Hampers [print this page] December is the month of giving. Do you remember the kings who travelled far and wide to offer their gifts? If you are among the many people who make a big effort in your gift giving, then you probably prepare for the whole thing in advance. Before the shops are emptied out of the greatest finds, you go to the high street to complete your shopping list.
Gift giving is a very enjoyable practice. Choosing what to give everyone is not always easy, though. If you know the person you are giving a gift to, you can easily choose a gift because you know their interests, but if you do not know the person very well, then it is a different feat.
Christmas hampers are the solutions to this kind of problem. They are versatile and quite useful, depending on the kind you decide to get. Several shops and grocery stores make their own versions of these. From food hampers to liquor hampers, or any other kind of gift that you wish to have in your basket, these can be bought from stores or you can order them online.
They are ideal corporate gifts or giveaways and they are also perfect presents for neighbours and relatives who you do not know very well. They are presented beautifully and so they look quite impressive. They are also fun to receive if you are on the receiving end. The whole idea of a gift hamper is to have a whole basket filled with presents so if you are the one receiving, then you have fun going through the many items inside.
Preparing your own Christmas hampers will not only be cheaper, it will also be a good experience for you! This will give you a chance to stretch your creativity and provide you with more freedom of expression. From picking the wicker baskets to use, to decorating the baskets with flowers, ribbons or tassels and most especially to choosing the items that will go inside the baskets.
It can also be a very enjoyable activity that you can let your children participate in. You can task them to decorate their own hampers and to choose the gifts they would like to include. This is such a great idea because you are able to share with them the importance of gift giving in a more personal level. This practice will teach them the value of being resourceful and creative, and it will also make them realise that there are other presents they can give than those that can be bought directly from a store.
In the end, you will have saved more money on presents and not only that, you will be able to teach your children (and yourself!) more about the spirit of giving in this special time of the year.
Remember that it is not really the price of the gift that matters. It is not even the type of labour you devoted that makes a gift valuable, but your willingness to share a smile with the person who receives it. Share a smile this Christmas!
