A recent trend that looks like you have made a great deal of effort, but which requires not too much effort on the part of the giver, is the rise in popularity of personalised gifts and cards. Personalised gifts can be easily ordered online and delivered to you so that you can wrap and present them to the recipient.

One further way in which you can choose the present but save yourself the trouble of posting or delivering it, is to order something online that can also be wrapped by the online store and then sent directly to the recipient. Such gifts can include items such as books and DVDs. Additionally and more unusually, are websites where you can order and send food items by post. These can range from large and expensive hampers to smaller items from independent food producers.
Personal gift shopper
If your lifestyle means that you are too busy to leave your desk and wander out to the shops, or if you are simply unable to take time out of your day to browse the internet, then using the services of a personal gift shopper could be the answer. By engaging the services of a personal gift shopper you can be sure that you will be giving a gift that the recipient will love as much as if you had chosen it yourself. You simply provide your personal gift shopper with all the relevant details about the recipient and the occasion and then let them do the rest. They can even arrange wrapping and delivery for you. Although if you want to give a gift with your own 'personal' touch, it may be wiser to take on these tasks yourself!
