Question ID: 599336
I am looking for articles with tips on how to select Christmas gifts
for specific categories of persons.  For example:
Tips on picking a Christmas gift for Mom, 
How to Pick a Christmas gift for Dad
Picking the right Christmas gift for a teen
How to slect a Christmas gift for your husband
Selecting a Christmas Gift for your wife 
How to pick a Christmas gift for a client
Etc.

I am not looking for articles that only name specific products as gift
suggestions.  Rather, I am looking for articles that either (a)
recommend types of products/services or (b)make recommendations about
how to pick gifts
for a specific group.  Again, here are some of the categories: Mom, Dad,
grandma, granddad, husband, wife, girls, boys, teens, babies, pets,
corporate christmas gifts, gifts for employees, gifts for your boss,
gifts for him, gifts for her, business christmas gifts, inexpensive
christmas gifts, christmas golf gifts, cheap christmas gift ideas,
offic christmas gifts, christmas gift for boyfriend, christmas gift
for girlfriend, cool christmas gifts, corporate christmas gift
baskets, african american christmas gifts,
christmas gift baskets, unusual christmas gift ideas, homemade
christmas gift ideas, etc.

Please give me as many articles as you can find.  The list given above
is to illustrate, not to limit the types of articles.  Obviously, the
sooner the better as Christmas is fastly approaching.

Request for Answer Clarification by dman-ga on 30 Nov 2005 05:22 PST
Can you please use the other key terms I gave you?  You didn't try
half of the words that I listed.  For example, I really need articles
about buying corporate Christmas gifts, business Christmas gifts,
employee christmas gifts, office Christmas gifts, etc.   I paid a
premium and listed the categories because I wanted you to atleast try
to find articles in each listed category.

Clarification of Answer by easterangel-ga on 30 Nov 2005 05:38 PST
Hi again!

I apologize that I did not need understand the scope of your
requirements immediately. I am not locating additional information for
your question using the other search terms that you suggested.

Thank you for your patience.

Clarification of Answer by easterangel-ga on 30 Nov 2005 06:21 PST
Here is another round of additional articles I found with more on
corporate and business gifts. My first impression upon reading your
question was you were only after general Christmas gift giving ideas
for specific type of people.

This time I used the different search terms like Christmas corporate
gifts. One problem with this is I have to filter some links since
there are too many online stores trying of course to sell their
products and not actually providing unique ideas or tips.

Here are the additonal lists: (In case you need something else that I
wasn't able to cover, please do not rate immediately and I will try to
find additional information).
