I have a strict “no crap” policy when it comes to gift giving—meaning if something isn’t going to add value or enjoyment to the giftee I consider it crap.
I think we all think like this, however around the holiday season, when you have so many gifts to purchase, it can be challenging to find gifts that are meaningful to every person on your list.
Since I make a living shopping for other people I thought you might enjoy a few tips on how to find the perfect gift for anyone on your list.
Find the Perfect Gift
Get out of your own head. Remember, the gift is not for you so shop from the perspective of the person you are giving it to. Think about their personality, how they act, and how they want to be perceived.
Ask for help! A good sales person knows the ins and outs of what they sell and can help you determine what would be a good fit for the person on your list. When in doubt, remember to ask.
Personalize It. Consider personalizing what would otherwise be an ordinary gift. Personalize a bottle of wine with a customized label or send chocolate shaped like something they love.
Dress to Impress. Package your gift with thought. Sometimes the way you wrap a gift card can make it more fun and unique. Wrap a Crate & Barrel gift card in a cool measuring cup. Or tape money on the back of a photo in a great picture frame.
Be excited. If you’re not excited about the gift (not the fact you get to cross someone off the list) it’s not the right gift. I cannot tell you how import this one is!
Happy shopping!
More often than not, each piece of your brand image was created when you needed it, but not altogether in a strategic fashion. Your image may look fine, but does fine help you grow?
Eventually as you scale, your image foundation cracks, and the way your business presents itself no longer helps propel growth – costing you time and money to fix.
When you unlock your brand power, you get to pick and choose how people perceive you and your brand.
