Factors To Consider When Planning for Your Gifting This Holiday

The holiday season is a time for giving and spending time with friends and family. But, it can also be a stressful time if you don’t have the right information. So, here are some of the most important factors to consider when planning your gift this year so that you can enjoy more of what’s essential.

Age Appropriateness

The age appropriateness of your present is just as important as any other factor. It doesn’t matter if the present costs more, looks better, or has a more significant impact on their life. It’s just not going to feel good getting something that you are too old for. This isn’t about limiting what they can do or keeping them from doing things that you don’t feel comfortable with, but rather about planning something that they will appreciate and enjoy.

Affordability

Affordability is one of the essential aspects you should consider when planning your gift this holiday season. You can measure affordability as the amount of money that you can spend on your gift. You should not spend more money on someone than you can afford to. The first option that people think of is the credit card, but this may be a mistake, costing you interest rates.

Current Trends

Current trends are one of the main factors to consider when planning for your gifting this holiday season. There are many different types of people in the world, so it is important to choose gifts that will be useful for the person receiving them. Here are some trends you may want to consider while shopping:

If your family member works with their hands daily, they might like tools for their vehicles or homes. These items can help make life easier around the house and hopefully decrease stress levels. 

If your loved one fancies racing, you can choose to go the extra mile to buy them upgrades on their cars from Traxxas slash. Be sure to understand what they love and what they will need before you commit.

Cooking utensils such as knives would also make great gift ideas. The holidays often mean cooking up delicious meals together; why not give someone the proper tool? Outdoor enthusiasts will find fun gifts in something that allows them to get outside even more. For example, you can get fishing poles, camping equipment, hiking boots/backpacks. There are also many different gadgets for the car itself, including headrests with built-in DVD players or phone chargers.

What Do You Need Most?

When you are planning for your gifting this year, consider what you would need most. It could be quality time or some tangible item. For example, if you need help with housework and cooking for Christmas dinner, consider buying an Instant Pot. It will make your life much easier during the holidays. Or perhaps getting someone who wants to learn how to cook an Instant Pot Cookbook will give them something they can use over the holidays.

How Will It Impact Their Life?

It would help if you considered how the gift will impact their life and lifestyle from now on. It can include what you are giving them and whether they have the resources available to take advantage of this new asset. For example, if someone already has a lot of money and properties, they may not see much benefit from a new property. However, if someone is low on cash or must work multiple jobs to get by, this would be a fantastic gift that could help them out immensely.

Conclusion

The holiday gifting season is fast approaching, and you can prepare yourself by considering the factors listed above. Maybe this year, instead of giving your sister a new pair of earrings for her birthday or anniversary, consider some other options that would be more appropriate as gifts such as those mentioned above, she might appreciate it more than if you only give.

SATURDAYS ARE FOR STELLA ❤️

Oh, hello there 👋 in case you’re new to my feed, this is Stella. She is an almost 3 year old goldendoodle from Stella, NC. No, we didn’t name her Stella because of the city she was born in. That was a complete coincidence!

She goes by many names - Stella, Stelladoodle, Stu Diddy, Stu, and Moose. Don’t ask 😂 (and whether she responds to any of those names is completely up to her.)

She’s finally graduating the puppy stages (I hope), but it is known that if you’re over and
👟you leave your shoes unattended

🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️you’ll be running circles around the house after her. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉

Today we celebrated the life of Heather McMechan, someone I am eternally grateful came into my life, and devastated has left this earth. The church was filled with people that loved her - not one person that crossed her path couldn’t NOT love her. 

Forever in my heart ❤️
