With the holidays getting closer, and with so many people shopping early this year I wanted to give some extra ideas. I love finding the perfect gift for people. I like taking the time to pick something they’ll really like. Instead of giving ideas like I usually do, I’m giving examples of where to look for them. Maybe they don’t have many of these suggestions or even any, but this at least will give to a little idea of where to look.
Amazon has many gift ideas on its own. If you’re trying to find something more personal and something they’d really love, ask them to send you their Wish List. You can make lists on Amazon, and your Wish List is super easy to share. For example, mine looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DE0S3GLBV187?ref_=wl_share All they do is go to your wish list, make sure its on public, and then hit the send list to others button. Very simple, plus it will have gift ideas you can buy for them.
If you have someone in your life who loves books, see if they have a Goodreads account. When there is a book you want to read, you add it to your To Read shelves. Most of the time they will not own that book, which would be an amazing gift. Have them send over their profile and you can look over their list. Here’s my profile for example: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/117617095-kristy
If they have an Instagram, look at the pages and people they follow. I follow a lot of brands that I like, so I would be happy getting a product from one of those companies. Even if you find a company, but you don’t know what to get them see if you can purchase a gift card.
Same as Instagram, you can also look through their Facebook likes for ideas.
If you want to buy them something like clothes or accessories, but you don’t know what they like, ask them to send you their Poshmark or Depop accounts. Depop, I know lets you view their likes but I’m not too sure about Poshmark. Certainly doesn’t hurt to try.
Look at their Pinterest account. Most everyone makes a board with things that they’d love to have, but just won’t buy. It makes a perfect gift and it will be something that they’ll love. Here’s my Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/kafinto/. I save all the things I would love to have on my want board, for example. Someone else may name it differently.
That’s all my ideas for now. Hope this helps you find some great gifts this year. It may take a bit of time, but it will all be worth it to see the happiness on their face. Until next time.
