The Giftionary Goes Above and Beyond -- A True Treasure

This book was everything I'd hoped for - and more. When I first heard about it I was interested to see just how creative gift giving can be. My husband is so difficult to shop for and I felt like I've exhausted all of my options over the years. And following the holiday rush, I felt burnt out on buying gifts and fresh out of ideas for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries and other assorted gift-bearing occasions. The Giftionary really came to my rescue and opened my eyes to a whole new way of expressing myself through gift giving. Gone are the days of trudging through the mall for hours on end only to escape with another unoriginal, dreadful sweater or impersonal gift certificate. Robyn Spizman gives thousands of unique tips on how to really personalize your presents and show the giftee that you put a lot of thought and heart into the gift. What I love most about her unique tips is that they focus on the cute, memorable little details, like heartfelt poems and touching words that accompany each gift so you make a statement not by impressing people with the cost of an item, but by being thoughtful enough to make each gift meaningful with a message. I highly recommend this book for anyone in search of fun new ways to shower people with great gifts for every occasion imaginable. Overall, it's a very clever, super helpful guide that I'm sure I'll refer to over and again for years to come.

Great

Many, many great gift ideas in all price ranges. Really thoughtful touches. This book will make you look good at gift giving time.

The solution to all my gift giving dilemmas!

This is the ultimate reference guide for gifts for every occassion. Not only does the author provide the right gift, she gives you the right words to go along and make each gift extra special. Ideas such as sending someone 100 new pennies to apologize for something and tell them you promise you'll make more cents next time or sending bubble gum to say that your're sorry you blew it -- the very reason I am not sharing that chapter with my husband so I can start apologizing in style! This is a must-have book for every gift giver. I am taking one big piece of the author's advice on keeping a stocked gift closet with favorite CDs, knick-knacks and books and keeping copies of The Giftionary to give to all my friends.

A Fabulous Idea!

The Giftionary is the perfect solution to any gift giving dilemma. I always want to give people gifts that are both appropriate for the situation and fun, but have a difficult time coming up with just the right gift. The Giftionary solves this problem by providing hundreds of creative gift ideas to choose from. It's a relief to know that I'll never have to worry about choosing gifts for people again. I highly recommend this book; definitely one of the most useful purchases I've made in a long time!

Always give the greatest gifts

The GIFTionary is the greatest gift giving guide I've seen. The book is broken down in easy to find alphabetical categories so I was able to find the exact category I was looking for. Robyn Spizman offers gift suggestions for everything from thank you presents to "I'm so in the dog house" gifts, and even includes a chapter of the perfect quotation to accompany each gift. The gifts she suggests are original and not something I would have thought of on my own. This book not only gave me a great idea for a present, but it also saved me a lot of time that I would have spent trying to imagine up the perfect gift idea. I would love to receive any of her suggestions on a special occasion. This book is a necessary tool for any person who loves to give meaningful and fantastic gifts.
