Research first before Gift Shopping

December is here and Christmas Day is fast approaching! One of the things that excite me is shopping for everyone on my Christmas list. One of the best tips to gift what your recipients really want is to do a research- browsing their Pinboards, doing a quick search for their Amazon wish list, reading their blogs (one of my recipients make a wishlist on his blog and he wants the best ravish at musicians friend!), and following their social medias will give you a good place to start without removing the element of surprise.
