Gift giving can be easy and painless with the right plan of attack.Shopping for my wife, daughter, or daughter-in-law has always been a challenge for me. I’d spend countless hours at the mall and not really be satisfied with whatever I chose as the best gift I could find.In this last year it has become a snap with the help of Tipton’s Stationery and Gifts in downtown Manteca where owner Brenda Franklin takes care of the selection in a flash – usually less than 15 minutes and everyone is happy – including me.It was frustrated trying to find a present for my daughter Sharon. Time had run out and it had to get out in the next UPS truck or I was going to be late in getting it to her.
