Lash Fary has made the impossible possible! This book is the answer to all gift-giving needs. The book itself is full of helpful tips and suggestions to make anyone look like a "Hollywood Gift Guru" but also makes an ideal gift in and of itself. Lash Fary is BRILLIANT and the book is FANTASTIC! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this book. I'll keep one for myself and give it to friends and family as well. Now I can look forward to the holidays and celebrations throughout the year instead of being completely stressed about what to give to whom. Thank you Lash!

If you've ever found yourself breaking into a sweat about what to get that special someone who literally has everything, your troubles are over.

This genius guide to giving the perfect gift covers all of the dilemas you've ever faced; and has creative (and cost effective) solutions to them all.

It's an easy read, and a great reference to keep on hand during the holidays. And, the ultimate bonus? This book makes a perfect gift as well!

I'm thrilled with my purchase and recommend it to everyone.

This review is from: Fabulous Gifts: Hollywood's Gift Guru Reveals the Secret to Giving the Perfect Present (Mass Market Paperback)

I have always assumed I put a lot of thought into the gifts I give, but after reading Mr. Fary's book I realize I can do much better, in an easier manner. His personality quiz, to determine what type you are giving to, is so concise that I have yet to find a friend that does not fit neatly into one of his categories. And the suggestions that he makes for each category - at varios price levels (this is so helpful!) - are really creative and fun and so perfect that I find myself wishing that folks who buy gifts for me would all have this book as a guide first! As a fun bonus his own personality shines through in his writing, so I found myself laughing out loud at his witty remarks and Hollywood-insider humor. I hope to see more style guides from Mr. Fary in the near future.
