Everyone wants to find the "perfect" gift for someone. And it seems like an impossible task. It can be a lot easier than you think, though. The three-part gift set is not only a way to come up with a personal gift for anyone, but it is also something that they will undoubtedly LOVE.
The first part is a comical gift. This doesn't have to serve as anything other than to get a rise out of the recipient. It is a way of showing that you had this person and their sense of humor in mind while getting the gift. Some comical gift ideas include a mug with Tina Belcher on it, a cookbook by Snoop Dogg, a CD of their least favorite band, or a shirt that has Donald Trump's face on it. It can be random and make very little sense, but as long as the recipient understands it, they should get a kick out of it.
The next part is a useful gift. This should be something that the recipient would be able to use often or has been in need of for a while. This shows the practicality of your gift giving. They won't hate it because they literally need this in their life. Some ideas include an electric razor they've been thinking of buying, a wallet that isn't held together by duct tape, durable running socks, or a new phone charger with an extra long cord. This part of the gift doesn't have to be "fun" or "cute", it just needs to be useful to the recipient.
The last part is a from-the-heart gift. This one might take the most time coming up with. It is the most personal and it should say to the recipient that you put a lot of effort in to their gift. It can be as simple as a framed picture of you two, or it could be a tie blanket with their favorite sports team logo on the pattern. Whatever this one is should be unique to the recipient and have a personal meaning behind it. It will really speak to the recipient and say that you really care.
When all three parts are put together, you have a perfect gift set that anybody would absolutely love. If you're stumped for the holidays, don't stress and try giving this a shot. You may find that shopping this holiday season is a little easier than you thought.
