This has both personal and professional benefit. Obviously you want to wow your loved with a thoughtful gift, but there will also be quite a few instances where you’ll need to buy gifts for clients and colleagues.
Giving good gifts is something that anyone can practice and become better at. It’s definitely something we’ve become better at over time. Here, we give some of our best tips.
For inspiration, make use of Pinterest. You can browse a multitude of boards to get ideas, and you can even create secret boards to save ideas for specific people or occasions.
If the idea of choosing and shopping around for multiple gifts stresses you out, pay someone to do it for you. Utilizing an app like Task Rabbit can save you a lot of time and a lot of headaches.
Another time-saving gift giving tactic is to choose a signature gift. This way, you don’t have to agonize over what to get every single person on your list because they’ll all get the same thing. It’s also a good way to add your own personal touch.
Choosing gifts from a particular region is another great way to add a personal touch and give a gift that is meaningful to you. People really appreciate that.
Listen after the jump for some more tips on giving great gifts while saving time and money.
