When you want to give something in addition to that dozen long stem roses you are sending to your special lady's workplace, why not consider a gift from the heart... or, moe appropriately, a heartfelt gift or a heart gift!

Unless I have my husband write down exactly what he wants, where I can purchase it and what aisle and shelf it is on, I am bound to get him something that doesn't fit, doesn't run or doesn't matter in his world! Men say it about us ladies but we respond in kind: gift giving for the opposite sex is tough! And there is nothing worse than husbands and the gifts they can't stand.

Its not unusual to get into the spirit of the season so late that there is little season left and you need some spirts to get the courage to hit the stores. Once in the stores, you find the merchandise as picked over as the employees who still work in the stores! Let's face it: Christmas shopping is not easy.

He knows how much money I make but I still believe my boss expects a nice Christmas gift. Last year, I blew it. I waited until the last minute, ran to the Starbucks and purchased a gift card that I placed inside a Starbucks Gift Mug. Unfortunately, I saw his face. It reminded me that I was the one who liked Starbucks while he at once referred to it as "too many decisions before breakfast" coffee. He was the McDonalds drive-thru guy...McDonalds was his kind of place...

Warning! It’s going to take a little while to get to the point but the journey might be worth the destination so hang on tight while I tell you about how I arrived at the conclusion that all of us have big egos that need to be satisfied!
