Gift ideas

Idee e suggerimenti su come scegliere i regali a seconda di chi li riceve

Get creative with the packaging! Rather than just handing them a gift in regular wrapping paper, think of the gifting experience as an event—and you want to make sure they enjoy it.

Hide his gift and send him on a scavenger hunt to find it. Rather than just giving him a gift card, hide a secret message in a book that sends him to the gift card code. Or sew her present into a giant stuffed shark so she has to do surgery on it to get it out. And never, ever, underestimate the sheer fun of unwrapping presents.

Sometimes, quantity can mean quality, when it’s a bunch of small individually wrapped items.

What you will learn:

• Make the present an event

• Now, literally give an experience

• Make a list of all the things

• Look to the past

• Ask yourself what that person needs

• Do some stalking

• Include a little bit of yourself

• Make them laugh

• Be charitable

• For the tech lover

• For the jokester

• For the animal lover

• For your grandparents

• For your teacher

• For the man in your life

• For the friend with clever initials

• For your teen

• For the last minute addition

• For Dad

• For your coworker

She loves Les Mis but already has the book and the movie and the movie poster? Buy her tickets to see the show. One of my all-time favorite gifts I’ve seen was a step-by-step mystery guide that sent the giftee to a restaurant, bought him a Flying Spaghetti Monster dinner, and paid for him and his date to play at the arcade.

Make a list of all the things the person is interested in and things that define who they are. Make this list long—spend at least two full minutes writing down as many things as you can. Now brainstorm something to go with every item on that list, small or big. You don’t have to give all of those gifts, but you’re going to hit on some cool ideas you wouldn’t have otherwise, and when you combine a few of them, your giftee will appreciate how personal and thoughtful you were.
