I’m one of those people who absolutely hates holiday shopping! I do enjoy the season in general and love getting to spend extra time with my family, so I’m not a total Scrooge or anything like that. But I cannot stand fighting through traffic to get to the mall, spending an hour in the parking lot just trying to find an available space, and then jostling through shoulder-to-shoulder crowds only to discover that the items I wanted to buy are sold out. Come on, does anyone really look forward to that stuff?



Fortunately, I gave up trips to the mall long ago and no longer even have to try to figure out what to get for everyone on my list. That’s because I just go online to order things like coffee or tea gift baskets, wine of the month club memberships, and more. These types of food and beverage gifts are easy to find, are always appreciated by the recipients, and are appropriate for almost any occasion. What could be better for someone who hates shopping?

Take tea gift baskets, for instance. The recipient gets a variety of gourmet teas arranged in a beautiful, handmade basket delivered right to his or her door. If you know somebody who likes to try different or exotic blends, then this would be the perfect present. Tea gift baskets are very reasonably priced as well, so you won’t go broke when any gift-giving occasions come around.

And you’re not just limited to tea gift baskets, either. How about a nice basket filled with a cheese and sausage selection? Or perhaps some cookies or other baked goods? Maybe your intended recipient would prefer a sampling of fine chocolates from around the world? The possibilities are truly endless! Many stores also let you customize a basket by filling it with products of your choice. So even if you’re not into tea gift baskets, you can still come up with a unique present for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, promotions, Christmas, or any other celebratory event.

I’ve also had tremendous success giving memberships to Wine of the Month, Dessert of the Month, and similar clubs. These memberships are wildly popular because they cover a lot of ground (cigars, flowers, fruit, pizza, steak, beer, you name it) and allow the recipient to sample a variety of products over the course of three, six, or 12 months. The membership prices and terms are actually quite flexible, so this is a terrific option that I take advantage of very often.

Shopping for gifts used to be a terrible burden for me, but then I wised up and started using the Internet to order coffee and tea gift baskets, monthly club memberships, and more. Now I don’t even flinch when it’s time to buy presents. I just fire up the computer and start browsing!
