This is the ultimate reference guide for gifts for every occassion. Not only does the author provide the right gift, she gives you the right words to go along and make each gift extra special. Ideas such as sending someone 100 new pennies to apologize for something and tell them you promise you'll make more cents next time or sending bubble gum to say that your're sorry you blew it -- the very reason I am not sharing that chapter with my husband so I can start apologizing in style! This is a must-have book for every gift giver. I am taking one big piece of the author's advice on keeping a stocked gift closet with favorite CDs, knick-knacks and books and keeping copies of The Giftionary to give to all my friends.

This book was everything I'd hoped for - and more. When I first heard about it I was interested to see just how creative gift giving can be. My husband is so difficult to shop for and I felt like I've exhausted all of my options over the years. And following the holiday rush, I felt burnt out on buying gifts and fresh out of ideas for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries and other assorted gift-bearing occasions. The Giftionary really came to my rescue and opened my eyes to a whole new way of expressing myself through gift giving. Gone are the days of trudging through the mall for hours on end only to escape with another unoriginal, dreadful sweater or impersonal gift certificate. Robyn Spizman gives thousands of unique tips on how to really personalize your presents and show the giftee that you put a lot of thought and heart into the gift. What I love most about her unique tips is that they focus on the cute, memorable little details, like heartfelt poems and touching words that accompany each gift so you make a statement not by impressing people with the cost of an item, but by being thoughtful enough to make each gift meaningful with a message. I highly recommend this book for anyone in search of fun new ways to shower people with great gifts for every occasion imaginable. Overall, it's a very clever, super helpful guide that I'm sure I'll refer to over and again for years to come.

The Giftionary was a great book. I had several different birthday events to go to and for each one I used this book for my gifts. Everyone loved their gifts. It is so easy to use and can help you on ANY occassion. I have recommended this book to several of my friends and they absolutely love it!!! It is definitely a book that should be in everyone's home.
