Whether you're out of ideas or pressed for time, have hundreds to spend or just a few dollars, The Perfect Present will solve all of your gift-giving dilemmas. This creative resource guide is jam-packed with one-of-a-kind gift ideas as well as innovative ways to spruce up tried-and-true classics.

Gift guru Robyn Freedman Spizman puts the fun back into gift-giving by sharing the gems of her fifteen-plus years of researching and reporting on the best gifts across America. Beginning with the "Perfect Present Survey," you'll learn the secret to selecting the ideal gift for even the most finicky person on your list. Spizman addresses every occasion--from birthdays to the holidays, from graduations to weddings, from congratulations gifts to "forgive me" gifts. The Perfect Present also locates the country's best catalog companies and top suppliers of everything from the juiciest oranges to chocolate greeting cards.

Find a gift that will bring a smile to any child's face--such as a personalized Winnie the Pooh--or make a splash by engraving a wedding invitation or having the bride's bouquet replicated in silk flowers. Spizman even offers creative advice on how best to delight friends and family with warm, witty notes and an element of surprise.

From purchase to presentation, Spizman doesn't miss an event, and now with the gems of her extensive research, neither will you!

Find gifts to suit every budget and every occasion.

For kids who have "seen it all," try naming a star after them with the Ministry of Federal Star Registration.

Put a twist on traditional gifts--for the first "paper" anniversary, try airplane tickets!

Give creative business gifts that show clients and colleagues you care, like personalized desktop accessories, or for fun, send a chocolate cellular phone customized with your name and telephone number.

Get unique ideas for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, tokens of congratulations and forgiveness, Bar Mitzvah presents, and every other occasion when you want to express your feelings by giving the perfect present.

It's better to give than to receive, as the old adage says. But what if you don't know what to give or where to find it? Your gift-giving dilemmas are over now that you're shopping with "The Gift Guru," Robyn Freedman Spizman.

Review:
Some people have a knack for choosing a gift that is just right, but many of us need a map and compass to keep from getting hopelessly lost in the forest of choices. How do you select a present that will really mean something, that will reflect the receiver's taste and not merely your own? Turn to this unique little guide and you'll not only find your way, you'll probably inspire others to follow your lead. There are hundreds of suggestions for every occasion, age level, and budget. Of course, the big ones are here--birthdays, Christmas, Hanukkah, weddings, anniversaries, baby showers, graduations, and Mother's and Father's Day. But there's also so much more, and it's sometimes those moments that give us the most trouble--housewarmings, get-wells, forgive-mes, thank-yous, business situations, even simple expressions of friendship. Though some of these gifts are quite pricey, many are very affordable. And remember, not every present has to be a tangible item: how about hiring a violinist to serenade your sweetie, arranging for a cleaning service to help a friend who's recuperating from an illness, or teaching someone how to cook a favorite recipe? Not only will this book fill you with gift ideas, it will help you find attention-getting ways to present them. --Amy Handy
