2 let someone else do the legwork

Nobody likes wandering around the shops in December, hoping desperately for inspiration. Try the Myer Giftorium (myer. com.au) where gift ideas are curated by in-store ‘gifticians’ who provide guidance as well as a wrapping service; or set some time aside to do your research by browsing the online gift guides (FYI insideout.com.au is a good place to start). If you are purchasing in store or at a major shopping centre, you can often create a wishlist (try qvb.com.au) to help you plot your path for an efffficient shopping trip that minimises stress and time wasting.
