A wish list can say a lot about a person.  Why not add some simple things and maybe get a little silly with what you request?  I’m not saying to ask for things that you won’t use – that kind of defeats the purpose of Giftster.  But get creative with your wish requests.  You may be surprised with who picks up on it.

Some of the best gifts I’ve given and received have really been small and simple.  And best yet – they made my day, both in giving and receiving.

How small is small?  It really can be anything.

There are two little gifts I’ve given my best friend that were so appreciated, and they really were simple.

She really wanted a book light.  Simple, right?  Well, then why didn’t she just get one for herself?  She really didn’t think about it when she was in a bookstore or any other place that may sell them.  She had it on her list, and when she opened it, was so excited.  She forgot that she even had it on her list.  She uses it all the time, and it was a great gift to give.

The other gift…although kind of silly…was Silly Putty.  It was really a funny little gift, but she loved it.  It was great for her to have at work and use as stress relief when her day got a little hairy.

You can do this, too, with your bridal and baby registries.  When my husband and I were expecting our first child, we added Milano cookies on the registry.  I had so many friends give me the cookies thinking I was having a craving for them.  But, they’re my husband’s favorite cookies, and they were really more for him than me.  He was excited to have something special just for him.

So even if you think it’s something little and silly and you don’t think anyone would really think twice about giving it to you, add it on your wish list.  You may be surprised who gets it for you.
