It gets harder as years go by to purchase that special something for someone we’ve known for a long time. This is usually because we have a hard time moving beyond what we like. For example, I know my best friend’s favorite color is yellow, but I think it looks horrible on her. So how can I buy her that yellow blouse, even if I know she’d love it? But that’s why gift-giving is an art—the art of looking at the potential gift through the recipient’s eyes.
