Christmas is going: it's time of thinking about gifts!
This page is dedicated to the art of gift-giving.
Sometimes it's easy to choose a gift especially when we know people wishes and necessities: a sweater, a pair of pants, a pair of shoes, a book, a CD, a new computer ...
On the contrary we have a lot of problems when we don't know very well people or we want unique ideas.
