Can you believe Christmas is almost here? Citizens are taking out the ornaments and decorations to fill their house with Christmas spirit. The sweet smell of apple cider fills the air and presents go under the tree! Presents are a big factor of Christmas. Have you ever questioned yourself with, "Oh no, what am I going to get my friend for Christmas?" Then this is the article for you! I will tell you how to find the perfect gift for your buds.

Low on budget? Don't break a sweat. Earning cash is no problem, but you don't need the extra money. It's the thought that counts! It's obvious that your friends are important to you if you're reading this article. Do you remember that Christmas when your Aunt gave you a pair of socks?! And you replied with "Oh, gee . . . thanks," and with a fake surprise look on your face! Make sure you actually get something your friends would want.

So here are just a few pointers for that perfect gift!

1) Take your time shopping. Don't grab and go, that's the worst you can do. Why settle for less when you can do better?

2) Ask yourself, "What is my friend interested in. Are there any hobbies, games, or anything my friend would enjoy?"

3) Don't blow your budget on this present. There is always something inexpensive, yet a great present!

4) Find an eye-catching wrapper with matching ribbons! Don't, I repeat! - Don't mess up the folding on your presents. It looks tacky as well as gruesome.

5) Size is not the objective! Maybe your friend is interested in little ornaments and such. Besides, wouldn't larger presents take up more space and be a hastle to teleport everywhere?

6) And last, but not least . . . don't tell your friend what you are giving him/her. Use the element of surprise and don't just ask him/her, "What do you want for Christmas?" Form a creative way to present the Christmas present, such as making a scavenger hunt!

Remember these rules while doing your Christmas shopping. They will come in handy with not only your friends, but your family also! Merry Christmas to all, and all a good night!
