The holidays are always a time when finding the perfect gift feels just as good as possibly receiving the perfect gift. I love that QVC makes that so easy for everyone. Even for those folks on my list that people say "are hard to shop for," we have to have something that will please them.

 When I was just a little boy, my older sister Janet gave me a gift at Christmas that I still remember to this day. I've always had this love affair with automobiles.  That will never end. I was the 5-year-old kid that could tell you while sitting in the backseat the name and model of every car that passed by. My sister wrapped up 50 Hot Wheels cars and presented them in a little carrying case for me. Wow, talk about overwhelming a little kid. It started me on a life-long journey of collecting those little toys that remains with me today. And the thrill of finding one from my youth that had somehow eluded me and my collection makes me feel just like I did on that Christmas morning oh so many years ago. When thinking of a gift for someone, take the time to ask, "What are they passionate about?" Even if you don't share that passion with them, try to put yourself in their shoes and imagine how they will feel when they open the box. That joy of seeing that smile or surprise on their faces is to me one of the best feelings for me at the holidays. I love it.
