Tallulah's Guide to Perfect Present Purchasing

In my family we don't just go for the one present purchases, instead we prefer to buy a number of smaller presents. My sister and I developed what we consider the Art of the Perfect Present Purchasing: Keep, Useful and Disposable. An example is the following items I have bought for my sisters upcoming birthday:


Keep
This is something to treasure forever (well you hope). For my sister i have a lovely ring which i hope she'll love. Of course the type of present depends on the person your buying for. Recently the Keep present for my friend was a mix CD of our favorite songs.





Useful
Something to use, in this case a pair of leopard print tights. In the past it might have been glasses, gift voucher, book, beauty stuff, and finally...







Disposable
Something completely disposable such as flowers. This is often the most fun to buy because it can be a joke present or chocolates whatever.

Hi! Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog :D

I think you've definitely perfected the art of gift-buying. I always ask for money from everyone because they never know what to buy me, I think I'll show them all this guide - particularly the leopard print tights!
