Hampers - loss of motivation

I try to keep on track by making a list for each person of the sorts of things they like - I add to it if they mention something randomly too - my Dad last week mentioned randomly that he'd not had a certain type of sweet for years, so I wrote it on my list. This allows me to keep in mind some of their current interests and expands sorts of things that would be suitable and that I might not think of looking for otherwise. HTH cel x

I have lists everywhere.

One in my handbag, one in my gift cupboard and another on the computer. Ive got people listed , a them for each or a few ideas i think they'd like and then i sort of add round that.

Like this year for example - im really close to my dad. So whilst i was perusing round Amazon.com i saw a book entitled chicken soup for the father/daughter soul - so ive decided to do a family basket for him.

Ive decided to include
*the book
*a reversable photoframe - on one side a photo of him with me when i was
little and on the other a photo of him and my son
*a framed picture from Benjamin
*a copy of Bens first years video (my dad doesnt have one) need to
somehow record it onto video first though from the video recorder
*daddy bookmark

and anythign else i fancy adding
