Gift Grab-Bagging

By James Pynn

If you're trying to find Christmas gifts, you've come to the right Internet. Seeing as how nearly $800 million worth of commerce goes through the Internet(s) at any given moment, I think you might find something for someone out there. I know you hate the traffic and flying elbows of the Christmas rush, so what better way to stay cloistered than to order goodies for people online. Think of yourself as an e-Santa.

No planning this year, eh? Well, it's not like Christmas suddenly sprang on you. It's not a floating holiday -- you knew a year in advance that this day, this season, was coming. You even knew when it was going to happen. On the 25th of the 12th month of every year, this holiday takes place. So, you list of excuses -- barring money problems -- are shoddy. So, buck up and get on with the giving.

It's not easy to shop for people. No matter how well you know them, you don't. No matter if you think you've found the perfect gift -- chances are it's not. You need some ideas, you need some inspiration. You need to think outside of the gift box.

This means, you need to start thinking big -- maybe bigger than you've ever thought before. Now, bigger usually means more expensive, and indeed, that's a reality you have to come to grips with now. You need to give something big and unexpected. This means you will have to give something outside of your price range.

As you're on the cusp of sheer panic, keep this in mind: group gifting. Yeah, you don't have to fit the bill for a massive gift all by yourself. Your friends and relatives are equally sheepish and miserly. So, get everyone to pitch in towards one massive gift -- think laptop or Armani suit or something -- and see how much you can raise. With enough people and an effective money collection service, you can give some really life-changing gifts. Talk about a special Christmas -- how often do people get a new car or mink coat for Christmas?
