Sometimes choosing a gift for a family member can become great stress. You always want to make sure you picked that perfect gift just for them. In this review the topic is choosing a gift for your sister. Well in my case this might be a little more simpler for me then maybe others. Reason being is because I’m pretty close to my sister and I have a pretty good understanding of what she likes and dislikes. Here are a few ideas on how to figure out the perfect gift.
Idea # 1- See what she might collect
look around and see what type of objects or things your sister might collect. For example my sister loves Snow Globes. You know those round glass figures that have some sort of object inside them like maybe a house on a winter day. When you shake them up little glitter particles will float around the glob. So I try to find her a new and different Snow Globe every year for her birthday. So if you know what your sister might collect then that is a good start.
Idea # 2 - A picture is worth a thousand words
Another great gift idea is look around your parents old photo albums or even your own and search for a rememberable picture that was taken with the two of you together. One that has great memorizes for the both of you would be the idea photo. Then take the photo and buy a really nice frame for it. A picture frame with the favorite photo would give such a personal touch to your sisters gift. There are all types of frames you can choose from. I would suggest maybe a frame that has some sort of engraving on it that says “Sisters”, or “Best Friends”. Remember some sisters are more then just sisters they are and can be best friends as well.
Idea # 3 - A poem
I love poetry and I have been writing poems for several years now. In fact I have already been publish for one of my poems. So I would suggest maybe writing a nice poem to your sister telling her how special she is in your heart and life. You can decorate the poem up by making your own frame around the poem, or you can also put the poem in a nice frame as well. This always seems to be a great gift, everyone loves to know how others feel about them.
Idea # 4 - A gift certificate for her favorite place to shop or eat
Women love to shop, and women love to eat. This is always a great gift for any sister. You know that you can’t go wrong with a gift certificate. Maybe your sister might even take you to dinner with her since you were the one who bought the gift. Maybe she would buy herself some really nice cloths at her favorite store. The certificate doesn’t have to be for a large amount. To me the thought is what counted not the price.
Idea # 5 - Favorite book, movie or CD
Your sister might like to read, watch movies or listen to music, so I would suggest maybe buying her that favorite CD or movie or book that she might not be able to afford. If you buy a book, then maybe add a special note inside the book cover so she will always know that you were the one who gave this gift to her.
There you have 5 different gift ideas for your sister. As you can see from the ideas there are not gifts that would relate to just one age group. You might have a younger sister, or older sister and their age might range from 1-80 or higher. So most the ideas that I gave could be used for any age group. Most of all I would like to get the first two ideas from my sister. (Hint, Hint if you read this) I hope I have helped in your decision on the perfect gift. I have also tried to keep the gift giving down in prices because not everyone has the money to spare on a gift.
