Decide on a Theme

When Oprah wants to put together a very special gift, she goes to event planner Debi Lilly, owner of A Perfect Event. Debi says her trade secret is to have the gift look as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside—something you can do in just four simple steps.

The first step: Pick your theme. Debi's secret is to really think about the recipient of a gift and what they like. Do they love to travel? Do they have a favorite color? Debi says incorporating the recipient's favorites into your gift will make it extra special.
