How To Choose An Unusual Souvenir For Someone With An Interest In Astrology

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

It could be that 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 far rather do. So I really do not need the added hassle of hunting for a present for someone with an interest I know little about, such as astrology.

It could be that 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 thanks then I find the slippers, smellies or whatever, hidden away unused in a cupboard six weeks later. (They can usually manage to work their way through the alcohol!)

I really resent time and money wasted on presents 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 pleasing gifts in areas I know well, without the further challenge of looking for astrology Christmas novelties on top of everything else.

My family and friends are all fortunate enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a present. I bet a Christmas Porsche for one son would generate much exuberance and the other would be delighted with the keys to his own home. But with a tight Christmas budget, lack of time and no idea what gifts to buy, I need to get a little creative, particularly when searching for a Christmas gift for a star sign enthusiast.

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

1. It should be novel - not boring slippers, chocolate, smellies etc
2. It should be affordable by the giver
3. It should NOT look cheap to the recipient - excellent if it's unlikely that they can guess the price
4. It should be practical 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 (online is best for me, I have no wish to wait in line for hours to buy this year's latest fad gadget)
8. It would be an added bonus (but not compulsory) if it provided something to chat 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 select a Christmas gift" tips, but there are certainly some tips for you to think over.

Of course shopping online will save you much hassle and time and also give you the chance to click around all the links on a website at a time convenient to yourself, without pushy shop assistants following you round.
