Customer Reviews

Excellent!

This is a great book full of ideas for gifts. It's also a huge source for where to purchase the items.

Very useful book

I live outside the US and am frequently at a loss about what to send friends and relatives in North America as gifts. This really solved the problem for me - I can order a huge variety of gifts over the internet - including many bright ideas I'd never have thought of. Highly recommended.

Inspired gift ideas

A fantastic resource for hundreds of "I never knew that was out there" gift ideas. The book is well organized into 30 chapters with gift ideas for teens, parents, kids, bosses, gay, mom to be, etc. Each suggestion is followed by a short description and a web site address. Every web site I went to was easy to find and easy to navigate (no "under construction" messages!) Who knew you could buy a customized Rubik's cube with your photos on each side, Nesting dolls with your family painted on them, a tonsillectomy survivor kit, a bowling ball with Hello Kitty on it or a Jello shot kit. I certainly never knew these things were out there! There are dozens of "...of the month" ideas and lots of resources for customized items. At best you'll find something that will leave everyone thinking you are a clever and imaginative gift giver. At worst you'll get a good laugh out of some of the ideas.

GREAT gift giving resource

I have been looking for a book like this for years. This is a great resource for Holiday shopping - or just general gift giving. It is very well organized and very creative. I just ordered three more!

extremely useful book

This is such a great resource! In much the same way that zagat's is THE guide for restaurants and leonard Maltin is THE guide for movies, I expect Sarah Weidman's book "Gifted" to become the definitive reference for gift giving. For those of you who have friends or relatives that are impossible to shop for, this book is for you!! The book is divided by various personality types and the author gives gift suggestions (including links to websites) for each type. I'm so relieved that this year's christmas shopping will be that much easier this year because of "Gifted".
