Somewhere between our desire to give and our delivery of the perfect gift, the point of the effort gets lost. Often, it's because there's a vast difference between what we can afford and how meaningful we want the gift to be for the recipient.
But "meaningful" doesn't have to be expensive or rare or even three-dimensional. The act of merely passing on information can be a great gift to others. Think about instances when someone has done this for you: Sent you an article about an unusual remedy to a problem you'd been having; clued you in to a vital piece of information at work that put you in the know and increased your value on the job; told you about a book that gave you a new perspective - possibly even changed your life.
Bits of wisdom, guidance to publications, recommendations for doctors, daycare centers, other professional services, networking opportunities - all of it has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. And it's all within your reach. The key is to assess what someone especially needs, and then give it in an openhearted manner when the time is just right. That, indeed, is a perfect and meaningful gift.
May your holidays be filled with all that's perfect and meaningful!
