1. HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT
THIS CHRISTMAS…
HELPFUL HINT DROPPING TIPS
Know how to get what you want for
Christmas this year.

2. WHY?
• Some may question why I have created this kind of
guide? Is it not a bit rude to do these hint dropping
things? Should you not leave it to chance and see what
you get?
• Its painful enough to have to spend lots of money at
Christmas, but to think that you have bought someone
something they do not want and will go to waste can
be even more frustrating.
• Would you rather not be told what to get someone? It
saves time, brain ache and your feet from walking
around the shops on Christmas eve looking for
something to buy.
• So lets get to it, lets drop those hints and get ourselves
exactly want we want and need this year.

3. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
• First, its no good for the people who need to buy for you if you yourself
do not know what you want for Christmas.
• There are a lot of people who may have to buy for you, so having an idea
of what you want each of them to get you, or telling them different things
is a good idea so you don’t double up on gifts this year.
• Stuck for ideas? Find yourself a gift finder this year to help you pick out
your favourite beauty Christmas gifts, unique fashion jewellery, unusual
fashion clothing, gadgets and gizmos, special toys and games.

4. CREATE A LIST
• Everyone has an idea as to what they want for
Christmas, usually a list will include a whole bunch
of luxury beauty products, jewellery, fashion
clothing and other bits and bobs that you know no
one will get you for Christmas unless you tell them
you want them.
• Create a list and leave it on your fridge so that
anyone can find it. Hey presto, everyone knows
what you want and you could just end up with
some smashing gifts in your stocking above the
fireplace on Christmas day.

5. KNOW HOW THEY WORK
• Most people whether they think they do or not, have trouble getting gifts
not only for Christmas, but for Birthdays and any other special occasion
throughout the year.
• Most women learn the hard way that some men simply need to be told
what to buy, otherwise they risk ending up with a coat hanger or
microwave as their Christmas gift because the have moaned about the old
one for months.
• If you have never had trouble with the gifts your partner
has bought you previously, either you know each other
well or your already probably dropping the right hints for
them to pick up.

6. TELL IT TO THEM STRAIGHT
• For most, the only way to get what you want is to tell your friends and family
outright what to buy.
• Write a list of everything you want and ask
for a couple of items from it, this leaves it
open so you still get a little surprise at
Christmas as your not exactly certain which
they chose, and it means you don’t have to
return anything in the January sales.
• If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t
want to know what anyone has got you, give
them ideas as to what you want, leave it open
for them to decide the exact gift they will
give.

7. ASK FOR THEIR OPINION
• Usually when someone asks about a
specific product “What do you think
about this?” or “Wow, I really like
this, what do you think?” , its because
they really like a product and want it
for themselves.
• Putting something under someone's
nose will both help them to pay
attention to what you like and when
they come to buy something for
you, they can go back to what you said
you liked and buy it.

8. LEAVE HINTS ON FRIDGES AND
MAGAZINES
• It’s the same principle as little kids looking in the Argos catalogue near to
Christmas and circling all of the toys and games they want to get that year
from the grand parents.
• Casually leave magazines open on the pages you like with little notes next to
the images. It can usually work a treat.

9. GO SHOPPING TOGETHER
• So your partner has been asking for two
months, “What do you want for Christmas this
year?” and you still haven't given them an answer
because you want them to decide for themselves.
• If anyone is unsure of what to buy you, offer to go
shopping together. Its amazing as to just how much
attention someone will pay to you when you go
shopping and its close to the time when they need
to buy you a gift. Be careful not to say you like any
kind of mop, cleaning product or electrical kitchen
appliance that you don’t want, you may get it under
the tree.

10. DROPPING HINTS
• The usual, “I need a new pair of boots” is
usually sufficient with some men. Within
minutes they can be on their phone and within
a few clicks have it ordered online. Easy for
him, easy for you.

11. CREATE A BOOKMARKS FOLDER IN
YOUR WEB BROWSER
• Why make your family at home sit at their computer for hours trawling
through webpages looking for things to buy you when you can make his life
easier by adding a big bookmarks folder called “Jeff ’s Christmas Gifts Ideas”.
• I think that when most of us are online we make a note of the little things we
like and things we want to buy. Stick them in a folder and see what happens…

12. I hope you are able to get all the
wonderful gifts you want at
Christmas. Happy Shopping, and
remember – keep calm, it’s only
Christmas…
