How To Come Up With Gift Ideas

Gifts are nice but it is important to know your budget. Consider starting with a maximum range you are comfortable with. This will vary from person to person.

Make a list of what you know about the person:

• Things they mentioned needing

• Thinks they have clearly said they wanted! (that's the dream)

• What are their passions, hobbies, interests?

• Any basic info, favourite colour, animal, vacation spots.

• Considering checking out their online presence, insta, Facebook, TikTok, Linkedin, etc. for ideas.

• Some people have a public amazon wish list or Pinterest that could solve all your problems!

Pick an item from the list you made then brainstorm a couple of ideas! Rinse and Repeat!

Mom likes birds - gift Ideas:

• Take them on a hike

• Take a bird identification class

• Book about birds

• Tickets to an aviary

• Binoculars

• Pillow with a bird on it

Lee likes candy - gift Ideas:

• A gift basket full of candy from another country

• Cotton candy machine

• Candy making kit

• Giant version of their favourite candy

• Candy box subscription

If none of these ideas feel right, pick a new topic and try again!

Awesome! Now you should have at least a few ideas, think about the person's values:

• Do they care about the environment?

• Are they vegan?

• Do they care how much you spent?

• Do they have allergies?

• Are they practical?

• Do they like shiny things?

• Any other things they care a lot about when being given gifts?

Keep an ear out! If it's the thought that counts, and this Bytes is proof you're thinking and care a lot!
