The Best Inexpensive Christmas Gift That People Love by Richard Mas

Sometimes, especially this year with the recent economic crisis, we need to find Christmas Gifts that meet our budget but do not sacrifice quality or make us come across as cheap. I have found that gift for you this year.

When we actually consider Christmas Gifts, we need to ask ourselves: What will the person that I am giving this gift to think of it? Will they like it? Does it suit their tastes? And, perhaps most importantly, will they use it?

The fact is that most Christmas Gifts go unused by the person who receives them. They give a perfunctory smile and "Thank You" but the reality is that most gifts go primarily unused. Occasionally, we are given a gift that blows all other away that we use all the time like the iPod Nano Purple but these gifts are few and far between.



But the gift that I will propose as the Best Inexpensive Christmas Gift That People Love may go beyond even the iPod.

Beyond the gift-giving and craziness of the Holiday Season lies the true meaning of Christmas: the joy and love of family, friends, and neighbors. Christmas is a season of giving, not just of gifts but of each other. Christmas is a time to share the beauty of life with all of those that you love.

I will share a story with you and in the story I will reveal what the Best Inexpensive Christmas Gift That People Love is and why they love it.

This summer I had to get my friend Patty a gift for her birthday. Sometimes, women are a little harder to buy for and I was stumped about what to get Patty. I wanted to give her something that conveyed to her how much that our friendship meant to me. Many ideas crossed my mind but they did not seem personal enough. Clothes, jewelry, books...but nothing quite seemed to inspire me.

It was in this period of indecision I happened upon the Best Inexpensive Christmas Gift That People Love. It seemed silly, even trite at first. But then I thought more about it and realized it conveyed exactly what our friendship meant to me. It conveyed the times and the memories that we shared together and it would be with her all the time. And, it only cost $12.99.

It is the Digital Photo Keychain. Here is what made the gift so special and what you must do to also make it special. The Digital Photo Keychain sounds exactly like what it is with an added bonus; unlike regular Photo Keychains, this one holds up to 60 pictures.

The key to this gift is what you must do before you give it You must load it up with pictures of the life you have shared with your loved one by pre-loading the keychain with pictures. After they receive it, they can upload their own pictures but you must put photos in there to begin so they can see how special that you are to them.

If you do it right, the Digital Photo Keychain makes an amazing Christmas gift that people love, value, and, in fact, use everyday.

A month after Patty received my gift, she confided: "This was absolutely the best gift I received."

"Why?" I asked.

"Well," she responded, "I received a lot of nice, expensive gifts but none of them had that personal touch. Yours did...and it meant the world to me!"
