Sometimes, smile is the best pill for pain and sorrow, just like the smile on my nieces’ face. Every time I see it, I feel the darkness is gone with its magic. Undoubtedly, I like the twin sisters very much not only because of their pretty looks but also their kindness. It is their birthday next month, and I am going to choose gifts for them. Considering their preferences and distinctive characters and, I have the ideas of my choices. For examples, Bernadette likes music, you can see her listen to the music whenever she is not quite busy; Lesley likes photography, collects excellent photos and videos, and shares them with the whole family. The quality noise canceling headphones absolutely suits Bernadette while an 8G flash memory can be the best gift for Lesley. I can even imagine their joy and excitement around me at this time, how can I stand their scream then?

The next thing I have to do is to find a good online store as I am always too busy to go for the local stores, and it is surely convenient to enjoy purchasing online. Generally speaking, many people have a favorite store or website, and with the advent of online business, almost everything is possible bought online. So I plan to check the great brand of noise canceling headphones with as many as positive reviews for Bernadette in order to make it a satisfactory gift. However, things will become a little bit tough when selecting for Lesley, mainly because I am not familiar with things like flash memory, digital camera, and anything that is relevant to photography. Anyway, I think this problem will be solved after my spending in searching information.

So this is my large plan to my twin nieces Bernadette and Lesley’s birthday. Do you have a plan in your mind before heading out for gifts? Actually, having the following in your mind is enough.

1.The person’s hobbies are the clues of gifts. Almost everyone has one or two hobbies in leisure time – listening to the music, watching movies, or collecting stamps. You can recommend quality suppliers for those collectors or spend in accompanying with them whenever there is a new-released movie.
2.Write down your ideas immediately. Do you have such an experience of having a perfect gift however subsequently forget it? This must be awkward when it is a spark that strikes you all of a sudden.
3.Take personalization into consideration. Have you ever thought of turning the recipient’s funny photo into a pillow, a t-shirt, iphone 3gs cases or a notebook? Nowadays there is the service that turns photos or pictures into any objects that you can name. How fantastic it is! This kind of personalized gifts must be fashionable and can be shown off among people. You can also turn photos of your family into badges, stickers, thanks card, and mug.

Obviously, IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE, and not a few persons would like to spend a lot on gift giving. Nevertheless, I am convinced that my gifts will be satisfied after my great effort.

Do you often have the idea of giving gifts to someone but without the idea what to buy? Apparently, it is somewhat awkward, isn’t it? You may be thankful if you have the great capability to choose a perfect gift for each of your loved ones. If fact, things are not so far from achieving as you imagine unless you pay no attention to what I am going to show you below.

1.You are not choosing something for yourself. Obviously, many of us always make such a mistake of choosing a gift he or she likes instead of considering whether the recipient likes it or not. For example, Penny like Hello Kitty very much, anyway it does not mean that a usb flash drive with the pattern Hello Kitty will be appreciated by her friend Sheldon, perhaps a flash drive with characters in Star War could satisfy him. In most of cases, having empathy with the recipient seems a good idea when looking for gifts.
2.Gift choosing is really challenging. So we’d better analyze the recipient from as many aspects as we can, like the age, gender, profession, and preference. Only in this way can you buy the gifts that he or she really needs and likes. What’s more, your creativity enables this process fruitful and the result worthy.
3.Pay more attention in your daily life. Observation yields much and it is helpful for your gift choosing. There must be something a person likes, in that case, he or she stops to look at, watches, and even talk about it with you excitedly. Does she always complain about her earphones recently and want to buy another one? Attention, these are the useful hints for you, and bluetooth headphones will easily solve it.
4.Choose something the person does not know about. As a matter of fact, this can be a try or risk for both of you. If the gift is something unique, it may arouse his or her interest to use, and it is the uniqueness that makes itself valuable. In addition, gizmos are loved by a lot of people, such as a puzzle ball which requires patience and carefulness to win. And the most important thing is that you can enjoy happy hours with the person. Imagine how wonderful it will be. Such special gadgets can be found online at eBay and Amazon, and moreover, they are at low price and popular among youngsters. And the t-shirts with patterns of animals, shapes, or famous characters are the hot cake online. What you need to do is spending several minutes choosing among a wide selection of special item online and find out the right one. Moreover, buying online saves you a lot of money, let you away from the traffic jam and bad air in the street, and brings much convenience.

The suggestions above relieve your stress fro gift choosing to some extent; however, there are still many factors to consider when you choose a gift if you want your gift be appreciated.

I was so surprised to hear for the first time that some people are afraid of big holidays. Guess what? It is because they treat gift giving as an important social activity in every big holiday and they think it is so difficult to choose a gift for it.

To tell you the truth, with the advent of internet, gift choosing is getting easier and easier as we can type the hobby, preference, age, gender of a person in order to get the options of the ideal gifts from a wide selection of gift baskets which may let he or she happy. What’s more, it is very popular to buy electronics products to the recipient, like a USB thumb drive, earphone, or accessories like cell phone battery and iphone cases. Anyway, it is not a rule for gift giving if the person does not like this type of items. In fact, if you want to send something that is not too personal, a gift of food will work well. And when you choose gifts online, you can select from numerous gifts that features quality, color, design and fame. Gifts can be given with confidence and received with satisfaction if it is based on these elements.

Although gift choosing becomes much easier nowadays with the help of Internet, however, there are still some points to remember.

1.Keep the gift simple. Believe me that a simple gift can come across what you want to say to the recipient. It is known that simplicity is beauty and simple gifts are usually more appreciated. Have empathy before you buy the gift; the person will not be thankful if the gift is a complicated gadget. So you’d better choose a gift that everyone could handle without great effort.
2.Do not try to give gifts that you are hardly sure about. Things like clothes, handbags, shoes, perfumes and cosmetics are the hardest gifts to choose. You do not want to feel embarrassed when giving your gift, do you? For example, not every person likes perfumes. There are people who dislike the smell of perfumes while others are particular about the exact fragrance they like. It will not help if you do not know the preference of the person. By contrast, an alternative like an unique and funny key chain perhaps gets a better result and be more appreciated.
3.Consider the age, gender and status of the person in life. An excellent gift should be an item that fits the status of the person in life. For instance, it is not appropriate to give a student an expensive cell phone while a book is more practical.

Gifts can be given with enough confidence only if you make a great effort before buying. When the recipient gets satisfied with the gift, you will definitely feel that your entire endeavor is worthy and fruitful. If you are always wait for the surprise, smile, and satisfaction from the recipient, just try your best to consider a lot when choosing gifts.

Have you ever had no idea when selecting gifts in front of hundreds of items in a shopping mall? Did you feel it is terribly difficult each time? Although you have an idea what to buy, yet you still worry that the gift is not attractive and special enough. If now you are thinking about the gifts you bought in the past, I think this article will be of great help for you to choose some novelties.

1.A 3D puzzle ball will keep your whole family entertained even for hours! Tilt the ball bearing through 360 degrees of puzzles and tracks. If you are addicted to puzzles, this will absolutely be a different ball game for you. No matter what you choose, a small or large one, it asks for a lot of you courage and patience. One more thing, remember to leave the door closed, because I am sure you do not want to be complained about your screams and stomps.
2.A Cube is rather popular all over the world. This puzzle game looks like it is going to be every bit as addictive as both the Rubiks Cube and the Sudoku puzzle! As a wonderful gift, it should delight fans of either, and if you happen to be a fan of both, then this will be like a dream come true. Sudokubes make great stocking fillers for anyone who loves a good brainteaser! Anyway, Sudokube is effectively a Rubik's cube, unlike the cubes being made of different colors; it is made of different numbers. It is with the numbers 1-9 on each side of the cube. You play Sudokube in the same way as you play a Rubik's Cube, but you need to get the numbers aligned on each side as you play in a Sudoku grid. And it is this game that makes you really get the best of both worlds.
3.Special iphone 4 case and iphone 3g cases are really thoughtful gifts, in my opinion, for those iPhone 4 users. Choose the cover that is made of quality plastic. It protects the cell phone against unexpected drop, scratch and other potential damages and keeps from direct contact between your hands and reduce the chance of signal loss. Generally speaking, girls like iphone 4 covers with beautiful designs while boys like cool patterns.
4.Stylish slippers. Some stylish slippers are with unique design and patterns on them. For example, the Cow Slippers are a pair of animal slippers in the shape of cuddly cows. Whether you're relaxing in front of the TV or dying to get out of your high-heeled shoes after a hard day at work, these fun lovely slippers will be waiting at your beck and call. Suppose when you give the slippers, the recipient must make a huge smile on the face. The Cow Slippers will keep toes toasty and calves comfortable.

Nothing is more important than the satisfaction that the recipients tell you, so just try to select a novelty for them.

What gift did you choose for your lover on this Saint Valentine’s Day? In the past years, I bought necklace, handbag, and cell phone; anyway, I want to have a change this year, so I chose a quality 4G thumb drive for my girlfriend Betty. In fact, it is much cheaper than any gift that I bought for her before; however, it will be invaluable between us. We will store our sweet memories in it – our photos, videos, favorite songs, and anything that we still do not know yet. One of my friends said this gift was so creative and he would buy one of the latest usb sticks next year and give it to his girlfriend with their former sweet photos in it. What a surprise it will be!

What did you choose? Apparently, everyone wants the gift to be appreciated. In my opinion, a good gift enables a good start or keeps a stable relationship while the bad one ruins it. Then how to give gifts that are appreciated?

As you know, the process of choosing gifts takes time and idea. Fortunately, there are a few steps that will help you.

1.Watch with your own eyes. If you are always spending a lot of time with the person, you’d better watch what they pick up in stores, watch on TV, talk about or what they look at in the newspaper, in other words, you observe what they usually focus on, which is the source of gifts at another time.
2.Tune in your with your own ears. A more direct way is to ask the person what he or she wants. Then listen to what is said. Generally speaking, it works between close friends; otherwise, situation will become somewhat awkward.
3.Ask someone else about gifts. Ask someone close to the recipient, like his or her best friends or families, for a few gift suggestions. Maybe they will not accompany you to buy the gift, but the suggestion must be helpful for you.
4.Make a list of potential gifts. Before you head out to the shopping mall, why not make a list of potential gifts for the person. It is strongly suggested to search electronic products on the Internet, as online wholesale electronics stores supply products like thumb drive and Bluetooth headset at a low price.
5.Prepare to buy gifts in advance. Having the idea of choosing perfect gifts for your friends and families before you walk out your house. This is homework that should be finished at home in advance.

A gift is so magic that it is more than a present when it is given to recipient. It contains thought, care, feeling, love, and everything that you are want to say. All of these cannot be measured by price, its value depends on how much this gift can convey and how much you care about the recipient. So you do not have to focus on the price of a gift to determine its value.

It is Saint Valentine’s Day again! Have you prepared gifts for your loved ones? Chocolate, jewelry, ring can be good gifts for them, and if you are not well prepared, it is so sweet to give a kiss. When I was young, I was so eager to wait Saint Valentine’s Day and excited to receive the delicious chocolate from the handsome boys, but as time passed, I prefer to get some special objects which keep good memory with them, say a gizmo. Now I would like to share some of my Saint Valentine’s Day gifts with you.

On the Saint Valentine’s Day in 2009, I received Chinese symbol jewelry with Calligraphy from my boyfriend Jason. As you know, calligraphy is an ancient art form China and is still widely practiced in China today. Mainly because it is an abstract art, its characters can be enjoyed and appreciated for the beauty and rhythm of their line, even without knowing how they translate into words. The Chinese symbol jewelry, like rings, necklace pendants, bracelets, key rings, and charms, is artfully simple in its design, yet rich in meaning for the one who gives it and the one who wears it. Jason told me he chose the one from 100 different charms with different patterns which he did not understand, but he thought the meaning is not the important, which is the mystery of it. Thanks to this special gift which gives me another good memory and the chance to learn about the mysterious Chinese culture.

The gift that I received on last Saint Valentine’s Day was a flash memory. He put the flash memory on the desk and left a note that says “I love you”. And this is just the start of my Saint Valentine’s Day. He gave me a 1 day ticket of freedom. He took on all of my responsibilities for a day and sent me off to beach to play. He wanted to say that he appreciated everything that I did for him; what’s more, he understood that my responsibilities were sometimes a burden to me. We drove down to the picturesque beach, took a lot of photos, and shared the music through noise canceling headphones. It was a beautiful day. That was so considerate. What a surprise! I really loved it.

It is Saint Valentine’s Day again! It is time to select a gift for him. Actually, from my point of view, he needs nothing except some stylish iphone 3gs cases. The leather iPhone 3 case he uses does not match him perfectly although it is in good design and quality. I am sure the stylish iphone 3 cases will surprise him anyway. Spending a whole day last weekend, I selected the most appropriate and stylish iphone 3 cases. And this time I will hide them in the room and give him some clues on note to fine. That would be interesting!

Have you prepared your gifts now? And what kind of gifts do you want on this Saint Valentine’s Day?

Which gift you received before is the most unforgettable one for you? Is it a Barbie you got on your 7th birthday party or a ticket for a baseball match that you were longing for? Perhaps it is the unique handmade necklace from your first boyfriend. Such a small gift is worth several dollars in a local shop, however the value of it is not only judged by its price in dollars but by the care and love with which it has been come across. In other words, a gift can be really remembered by its importance instead of its price on the tag. Do you have a hard time when determining which gift to buy? In fact, there are some clues to help you to find a proper gift to the recipient. Let’s see them.

If you paid enough attention to them, you must get the answer right away.
1.Does your recipient usually keep saying, "I want to buy the latest iphone 4 accessories, how do you think of them?", "My flashlight is ready to fall apart." or "My coin purse got lost last week."? ATTENTION! These can be your choices of gift!
2.Do you talk about your favorite band, author, artist, sports team or actor when having a nice sunny afternoon in the serene café at the corner of the street? Which one is his or her favorite? If she is a fan of Justin Bieber, in my opinion, high quality noise cancelling headphones would make her enjoy. If he is a gizmo collector, things will be much easier for you. What you will do is to spend half a day on the internet searching the latest novelties that he has not bought yet. The next thing you do is to wait for his surprising look and scream.
3.When you visit your intended recipient at home, look around and pay attention to what has been there and what is missing. Does the host complain about the poor quality of sofa? Does the vase in the living room match with the motif in the room? Do they apologize for the lack of chairs? Have they decorated in a particular motif? Does the dog have a dog bed? Does the cat have a scratching post? Does the child have a large toy chest? These gifts must be considerate.

These gifts can be spoken out by them unintentionally; nevertheless, it is an unspoken rule about gift giving:"Don't ask the recipient what he or she wants." Generally speaking, it is very impolite to ask people such a bold question. Children, on the contrary, are eager to tell anyone what they are wishing for. Therefore, when asking is out of the question, you’d better choose a gift certificate a place where almost everyone could find at least one thing to please themselves, such as book stores, movie theaters, department stores, gadget catalogues and so on. Although gift certificates seem a little bit generic, recipients are likely to get a satisfactory item.

Each of us began to be a buyer ever since his childhood. Do you still remember the first time when your mommy told you how to buy a lollipop? That successful experience is still unforgettable for me. While some of us are now taking the role of a seller; however, it is not so easy being a successful seller as being a successful buyer. As a buyer, one has to do is to find somewhere supply what we want to buy at a reasonable price; while as a seller, one has to do is to keep the customers in his store and persuade them to buy. Now, think about one of your purchasing experiences, did the seller introduce something else to you when there was not the exact item you wanted to buy?

What a good seller must be able to do is persuading people to buy or support his products or services. All in all, the method is to PERSUADE, without which, one cannot make a career in sales.

As a matter of fact, there are obstacles for being a seller. Therefore, before determining to be a seller, challenges and obstacles must be considered.

1.What is in the mind of customers?
Actually, it is most difficult to make a customer to buy or even change his mind if he insists on an opinion or judgment about a specific product, service, or review. While it is really a piece of cake to let those who have a strong intention to purchase, since the item is the reason that he enters into your store, although the speakers in that store is labeled higher.
2.How to arouse customers’ interest?
Never persuade customers to buy something in your store the minute he enters your store. Starting with HELLO or the compliment of his perfect match in dress leaves a good impression to them and your conversation will be comfortable and natural. Keep getting their attention in different way, as you know, they are not willing to spend time to let you present your persuasive speech.
3.Time constraint
Suppose that there is time constraint when you introduce an exact item, say a pen drive, or persuade customers. Keeping customers focusing on you is surely different from have them interested. Generally speaking, customers like to change their mind if there is not the ideal one for them. Time, at that moment, is so precious for both of you. Stay on an item for a short period and turn to another one if you find customers are not listening to you.
4.Mood and attitude of customer
As a seller, one must consider customers’ state of mind. Watch their face as soon as they enter into your store before you give your smile and utter a single word. For example, no matter how excellent the item is in his wholesale store, he is not suggested to introduce when the customer is with an angry look. As is known that people who has a hard day is unlikely to convince anything.

The solutions to obstacles in sales above have been practiced successfully all over the world. With these useful tips, you will feel easy when on the way of being a seller.



It is said that the family is the safe and warm harbor for a woman. If you are a woman, you must want to be a good wife and good mother in the family. Anyway, there is a very important thing that should be considered carefully, which is to make the mother-in-law happy. From my point of view, nothing is better than giving her a thoughtful gift especially on the eve of some important days. But do not be nervous, it is not as difficult as you imagine. Just relax! Actually, finding the right gift for your mother-in-law is easy with a little planning, some imagination and making the effort to get to know her a little better.

Consider that you may be still puzzled; I would like to give you some suggestions here.
1.Plan ahead.
We all know that when the important holidays come, it is considerable to buy a gift for your mother-in-law. In fact, your parents will not care if you forget to send them gifts as a result of your busy work, however, things may turn out to be serious if this comes to your mother-in-law, as she may think you are not thoughtful enough. Next time give yourself at least a month to search for the right gift. If she has a poor eyesight, why not buy her a led flashlight. Your mother-in-law will appreciate the time you spent choosing something she actually likes, and so will your husband.
2.Consider giving a helpful gift, or add to a collection.
This means give her what she really want and need. If she likes to travel and take photos, it is strongly recommended to buy her several lithium batteries and a large capacity of flash drive. As you know, the powerful lithium batteries supply enough power for her cell phone, which makes the call convenient and makes her away from desperate when there is emergency; and an excellent and powerful usb device enables her to store her sweet memories-photos, which makes a moment that she shares the interesting stories that took place in the trip with all of you.
3.Do not forget her pet.
I suggest you do not forget her pet if your mother-in-law really owns one of several. To some extent, she treats her pets as her own children, talks with them, and walks out with them on a sunny afternoon. If you buy some toys exclusively for her pets, both your mother-in-law and her pets must feel very happy.
4.Give her a forever gift.
Generally speaking, a wedding photo of you two is the perfect choice if you are newly married. Just select carefully one or two from the hundreds of your wedding photos, add a frame and give to her. Believe me as mothers like this stuff. Moreover, you can tell her another photo with her grandson on it is on the way if you have already had the great plan.

Do you get some ideas now? I am sure your mother-in-law will feel satisfied with your gifts from now on.

You must meet those who are unable to speak; however, those persons struggle to communicate with others by sign language. It is really hard for ordinary people to understand their special language. Well, you do not have to understand it, but you have to understand your own language and master it to communicate as communication is the basis of our daily life.

If you are a student, communicating with your friends is the top important thing for you; if you are a teacher, communicating with your students is the top important thing for you; if you are a parent, communicating with your child is the top important thing for you; and if you are an employee, communicating with your workmates and employer is the top important thing for you. Do not regard it as a tough task to communicate with different kinds of people; just treat the process as a gift from God.

Just as some people are talented in singing, dancing, or drawing, others may good at communicating. They know how to speak and talk with others in order to have a good result. If you have ever been to a wholesale market, you must have seen how those wholesalers sell their goods such as flashlights and flash drives and attract customers with their cry sound like from speakers. One of my friends once told me that it is their living pressure that drives them to have such ability. It is not important for those customers to discover how the wholesaler gets it, but it is time for us to know how to improve our communication skills.

Nowadays, there are wide selections of schools all over the world which devote to improving communication skills for different ages of trainees, who are mainly from schools, banks, shops, and hospitals. Salesmen from shops account for about half the numbers of trainees in such a school.

More than ten kinds of courses can be learned, such as organizational leadership communication and team building communication. The most popular one is organizational leadership communication, since many people hold that a leader's communication style can directly sabotage and undermine the building of much needed trusting relationships that get results and enhance employee morale and motivation.

When I interviewed a trainer James half a year ago, he said while coaching some of his clients selling iphone cover in local stores, he noticed his former self. He was certain that in his 12-year management and leadership career he engaged in each of "The 7 Deadliest Sins" that can be read about in his report. It was only in the final years of his previous career that he woke up and began to communicate with his team like a "Champion." Then I got what "The 7 Deadliest Sins" were. Form James’ point of view, not only must a leader in an organization but also everyone else there avoid "The 7 Deadliest Sins" at all costs: Lack of Specificity, Lack of Immediacy, Lack of Directness, Lack of Appropriate Tone, Lack of Focus on Desirable Behaviors, Lack of Focused Attention, and Lack of Respectful Rebuttals.

These details help one to communicate effectively and pave the way to being a successful leader in the future.
