Getting certain friends and loved ones a gift that they’ll like can be a tall order. If you’re struggling to think of a gift for someone, see if our gift inspiration and ideas planner can help you come up with some ideas.
The goal of the planner is to explore the interests of the person, identify the things they value, and better understand what they would find meaningful.
Once you have a better idea, you can then choose a gift, taking into consideration what you’ve written down.
The gift ideas and inspiration planner is ready for you as a printable. Simply go to the bottom of this article to get it.

Here are all the ideas the planner encourages you to write about. Again, this isn’t about identifying the gift itself, but better understanding the person in question, their likes, and what they would find meaningful.
What you talk about when you talk to each other.
What hobbies they have.
Whether they prefer sentimental or practical things.
If they were in charge of a friend meetup, what they’d likely organize.
What they share and talk about online.
What is displayed/visible around their house.
Whether they prefer physical things or experiences.
What daily or weekly routines they have.
What gifts they typically get for other people.
What you should avoid because they are very knowledgeable/passionate about it.
How they typically celebrate (or what they do on) their birthday.
What they take photos of.
What they’ve always talked about wanting to do but never did.
Things that connect you both.
If you had to get them a monthly subscription to something, what it would be.

We really hope this planner helps you out. Especially with so many people to get gifts for over the holiday season, it can be tough to know exactly what to get for every different person.
