Buying The Perfect Present

Birthdays are very important days. In fact, I get very sentimental on my own, very thankful to God for everything that's happened to my life so far. Buying teenagers birthday gifts is an arduous task if you want it to actually mean something to them. But of course, there are several types of characters that we should consider when buying them gifts. Several personalities we should consider.

• There are the givers, who would much rather treat other people out on their birthdays. It's best to take them and their friends out for some grub.

• There are the practical people who would much rather receive useful items or cash. This would be easiest, just ask them and they'all give you something specific.

• There are the sentimental people for whom it's always more about the thought than the gift that counts. You can give them diamonds and pearls but know that they'll much rather receive a heartfelt letter, a handknit sweater or a scrapbook of all your memories together.

I can honestly say I am one of the practical birthday celebrants. Which kind are you?
