Whether you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or graduation, a unique, personal gift that you have thought hard about shows that you care.

It's always a challenge to find the perfect gift for friends, family members, and co-workers, but by following these ABCs, you won't go wrong and you'll help make the celebrations really special!

1. Never make the mistake of buying for someone else the gift that you would like to receive yourself.
2. Spend time thinking about your friend or loved one. Their preferences and hobbies and you really can't go wrong.
3. If you've always given traditional merchandise that most people these days can just go out and purchase, try something unique that helps the other person live their life to the full. If you're close, pay for both of you to take a white water rafting trip, play a round of golf, drive a rally car or share a hot air balloon ride. The best experiences are shared.
4. Sometimes a heartfelt message can have a great impact on the recipient than the actual gift. So choose your best words to make the occasion a special one. Include a personalised gift card and make sure the packaging is A1. Refer to the occasion, the gift or simply your relationship.
5. When you show up to a celebration with your gift, make sure you also show up with a great attitude. There's nothing worse than giving a gift when you're heart isn't in it.
6. Go the extra yard and stock a gift basket with his or her favorite wines, beers and gourmet foods, or give a gift certificate for his favorite restaurant.
7. If you're finding it hard going, sometimes, the best solution for the hard-to-buy for person is when you let your recipients choose the perfect gift themselves. Open vouchers or certificates are ideal for this but make sure the packaging makes it extra special.
