Finding An Interesting Present For A Family Member Who Has An Interest In Star Signs

Love it or loathe it Christmas shopping is something the majority of us are resigned to doing. But when you have to buy a Christmas gift for an astrology enthusiast it can prove even more of a worry. Here are a few ideas for choosing unusual Christmas gifts that, while targeting star sign fans, are actually applicable to anyone who is difficult to buy for.

Possibly you enjoy the frenzy of gift shopping each year. I dislike it intensely. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would much prefer to do. So I really do not need the extra hassle of hunting for a gift for someone with an interest I know little about, such as astrology.

It may be you manage to buy unusual gifts for everyone and their faces light up with delight when they open their Christmas gifts. My family make polite noises of gratitude then I find the slippers, after-shave or whatever, tucked away unused in a cupboard six months later. (They can usually manage to work their way through the alcohol!)

I really resent time and money wasted on gifts that just do not hit the mark with the recipient. It's not that I'm mean, or uncaring, I just do NOT know what to buy people that will fit in with their hobbies. I have enough problems looking for interesting gifts in areas I know well, without the further worry of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.

My family and friends are all lucky enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a present. I imagine a Christmas Porsche for one son would generate plenty of excitement and the other would be delighted if he received the keys to his own home. But with a tight Christmas budget, shortage of time and no idea what presents to buy, I need to get a little creative, particularly when looking for a Christmas gift for a star sign enthusiast.

While still relevant to our astrology fan, let's generalize and consider the vital characteristics of unusual Christmas gifts?

1. It should be different - not boring slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look crummy to the receiver - excellent if it's impossible that they can guess the price
4. It should be useful or (alternatively) totally fun
5. It should be something they have always wanted
and/or
6. It should be something they would never dream of buying for themselves
7. It should be easy to buy (on the Internet is best for me, I have no desire to wait in line for hours to buy this year's latest fad gadget)
8. It would be great (but not compulsory) if it provided something to talk about instead of the Christmas TV

Well, I'm not sure whether I've made your Christmas Shopping life any easier or much harder with my list of "how to pick a Christmas gift" tips, but there are definitely some ideas for you to think over.
