You imagine the recipients of such foolish actions with their puzzled expressions on Christmas morning. Wondering how one of their closest friends got the idea they ever collected Barbie dolls. Heck, they didn't even play with them as a little boy. OK, there was that one time...
One thing about these fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants shoppers. They aren't as stressed as you! You give such thought and study to your selections. Family and friends are astonished how seemingly psychic you are.
This holiday, psychotic is more like it. It had to happen sooner or later. You've run out of ideas. Your reputation will be ruined.
Take a deep breath. Maybe this can help. With blogging becoming a virtual way of life for so many, I'm betting you may have a blogger or two on your Christmas gift list. Because they come in all ages, believe me. Have you read your 84 years-old Aunt Helen's blog? It's not just about recipes.
Whatever their blog's theme, many have added Adsense to the weblog. With the hope of earning extra money. How popular a gift-giver would you be if you gave them a way of earning even more money from their blog?
For example, consider the bloggers on your list. Are any of them university students? Think of tuition costs. Anyone living on a fixed income? Any with bills, mortgages, car payments? Teenagers needing extra money? You get the idea. We all have bills and responsibilities to meet. So, if any of them happen to write a blog, you may be saving your reputation and becoming the toast of the holiday season.
And, if they own a blog, it's a safe guess they've heard of eBay! The #1 e-commerce site in the whole wide world. What if they had a way to combine the power of eBay with their weblog? What if it were easy to accomplish? What if there was outstanding support when they had questions or needed guidance?
Now doesn't this idea appeal more than the assembly-needed thing-a-ma-jig you almost bought yesterday? Instead of wary looks on Christmas morning, imagine eyes lighting up when they find out what you've given them. When they think of the possibilities...
*an innovative way to make money
*a user-friendly tool to market eBay's inventory
*ability to customize ebay's products with their theme
So let the unimaginative gift buyers continue to make you look good. You've just been given a better idea. Who knows? You may even want to grab one for yourself!
