Buying gifts in the first place can be difficult, especially if the person you’re buying for isn’t very good at dropping hints at what they would like to have. However, if you have time to plan and shop, you buy gifts on budget. What I like to do is set a budget... whatever it is I’m comfortable spending for that individual and then decide what it is I want to buy for them. Once I’ve figured that out, I go to DealNews.com and search for current deals, or create an alert for future deals.
