There are many reasons we select gifts for friends and family at the holidays. Buying gifts that are products we’ve tried ourselves helps build confidence that we know what we’re getting - and giving to others - so it’s easier to buy presents that we’re familiar with. And, while finding the perfect gift for someone is key, getting a great price with coupons or promotions is a nice way to sweeten the deal!

Is it good quality..What is the cleaning instruction. Is it a style the person would like..Is it returnable..
Will the size fit..
I usually try to see if the item I want to purchase goes on sale before I buy it.
Will the size fit..
Will other stores have same product at a better price..
If buying gift for those who live somewhere else..It is important that I purchase it from a store where they can return it if they need to..
Based on what I know about the person, is it something I would be proud to give...and would the person genuinely appreciate it.
Months before buying a gift for someone I try to go shopping with them and see what they spend more time looking at...but doesn't buy...or just listen in conversation to hints of what they want or need...usually works.
Will they be pleased when they see the gift.
How much the person wants it!! and how much quality is..
