why a book on gift giving? (return to present perfect)

• Virtually everyone gives gifts.

• Almost everyone would like to know how to be a better gift giver and how to make gift giving easier and more fun.

• Each season brings a multitude of gift-giving dilemmas.

• All of the above.

Virtually everyone gives gifts—homemakers, construction workers, sports heroes, grandparents, business men and women, students, public officials, diplomats. And while most people enjoy doing so, fewer than 35 percent of those we polled feel they are creative gift givers.

We have surveyed and interviewed hundreds of individuals on the subject of gift giving. The data reveal that women and men (surprise!?) want a single source of information on this subject. Over 95 percent of the respondents in one particular study said they would benefit from such a book as Present Perfect.

Furthermore, each season brings a multitude of gift-giving dilemmas. Sprinkled between the holidays are weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, birthdays, bar mitzvahs, graduations, retirements, promotions, and other occasions. This book is a resource that will be used all year round.
