5.Brush up on your people skills, aka Emotional intelligence. While homeworkers often lament loneliness of working at home, you may have forgotten what it’s like to be with others, and accommodate to other wills. Just as you prepare your child before they head for a birthday party, go over your “manners.”

6.Get caught up on your rest. It’s not that you weren’t working hard and long hours at home, it’s that it’s going to be different. This is stressful. Resist all urges to party like there’s no tomorrow on your last days at home, and rest up instead. You may be entering one of many understaffed offices in work place today.

7.Talk to your family and friends. You have a big adjustment coming, and you need support and encouragement. If you don’t ask for it, you won’t get it. And be specific!

8.Manage your attitude. If your home-based business failed, or failed to live up to your expectations, or simply wore thin, put it behind you. Don’t attribute it to anything personal, permanent or pervasive. Focus on what’s good in new situation – structure, camaraderie, a steady paycheck, benefits, and a simpler tax return. There are many successes you’ve had and will have, and a positive attitude will help you make a success of your new job.

3.Be yourself. The gift is from you, so make sure it shows it. But be appropriate, and be sure gift is something that recipient will relate to and enjoy.

4.Try to avoid excessiveness. Simple gifts tend to also be very well received.

5.Don't wait until last minute. It only gives you too little time to get a great gift, and also shows how much you don't care.

Being creative is a fantastic way to ensure getting right gift. People love it when it's obvious their gift required some imagination and creativity. So as you’re going through “what do I get them” process, remember that a little bit of creativity, uniqueness and personalization will go a long, long way!

The true measure of a great gift will be seen in eyes of recipient when they get it. You’ll know it, you’ll feel it, and you’ll feel great yourself when you’ve given “Great Gift”!
