What type of gift should you give?
With the holidays just around the corner, it’s time to start gift hunting. Take this 2-minute quiz to ditch the present panic and figure out what type of gift would make your friends and family feel warm and fuzzy inside.
It’s game night. This person is most likely to be playing…
Nothing. They’re in charge of snacks!
Any and all board games. (They’re the one who came up with this idea!)
Referee. No cheating allowed!
Anything to do with video games, VR, or any other kind of tech. They’re lost in their own world.
1 / 7
It’s Thursday night, and someone has to make dinner. How into cooking is this person?
They enjoy food, but they don’t love making it and are fine with whatever food someone else cooks for them.
They’ll cook for themselves and their household, but it’s not their favorite thing.
High-level foodie. They’re always making something and love to try new things. And have you seen their Instagram?
It’s not really their thing. They eat when they need to, but they’re usually busy gaming.
2 / 7
How much do you usually budget for gifts for friends and family?
Under $50 per gift. I’m on a budget, after all.
Around $100 is my limit.
Over $100, but I try not to go too crazy.
I’ll spend whatever is necessary.
3 / 7
If you gave this person a nice pack of socks for their birthday, how would they most likely react?
Sweet, I need these!
…What?
**busy playing video games and doesn’t notice**
This is useless!
4 / 7
Who is this gift for?
A friend under 18.
A friend over 18.
Anyone in my immediate family.
A relative that’s not part of my immediate family.
Someone I don’t really know.
5 / 7
How much time does this person spend with technology?
If they’re online, they’re probably looking at recipes or watching Gordon Ramsay.
If they weren’t in front of a screen, I wouldn’t recognize them.
They’re on their phone often, but not often enough to call it an addiction. They might prefer games or watching shows with friends.
They have a phone and laptop, but they probably wouldn’t miss it if it got lost in a mud pit somewhere.
6 / 7
Somebody just got pranked. How likely is it that the gift recipient is the culprit?
Highly likely. They’ve been acting suspicious lately…
We’ll probably never find out. This person is more practical than practicality itself!
It’s pretty unlikely. They’ve been glued to their laptop for the last 3 days!
It’s moderately likely. This person doesn’t usually do this kind of stuff, but you never know…
7 / 7
You should look for an edible gift!
It’s hard to come by a gift this person loves more than something delicious! Sweet, savory, crunchy, smooth… whatever the texture or flavor. You can’t go wrong, no matter what the occasion.
If you’re faced with wayyy too many choices, or you’re simply short on time, go for a box of mixed chocolates or nice cookies. Aim for simple, classic flavors that everyone loves to avoid any conflict.
Confident in the kitchen? If you have enough time and know the recipient’s favorite comfort snack, giving them something homemade is almost guaranteed to be well-accepted.

You should look for a practical gift!
There’s nothing this person loves more than something practical. If they’re going to add another thing to their life, they want to be able to use it.
Be it socks, a new phone charger, that book they’ve been eyeing, or a set of wooden spoons. The recipient of this gift might have a running list of things they need that they would just buy for themselves at some point anyway. There’s nothing they’d love more than to get an item from their list from someone who knows them well. A gift that’s personal and practical will make them feel seen, and appreciate it even more.
If you find yourself short on time, or your person doesn’t have a specific item in mind, they might appreciate a gift card. A gift card lets them buy whatever they like from a particular store. They’ll have the freedom to buy whatever they want, and you’ll both be satisfied knowing they’ll actually use and enjoy the gift.

You should look for a fun gift!
This person is typically young at heart and values having fun, usually in the form of games. It’s hard to find something they love more than a good time. Maybe that means playing video games for a full day. Or going tech-free and smashing their opponents in a board game on game night. Maybe they’re on the younger side age-wise and are obsessed with that new toy set everyone has.
Be it a new toy they’ve been wanting, the latest release in their favorite video game series, a new board game, a pair of weird socks, or just something that’ll make them laugh. In the end, the biggest gift you can give them is the memory of getting a new game and playing it together.

You should look for an electronic gift!
There’s nothing this gift recipient loves more than tech and electronics. If they’re going to add another thing to their life, they want it to be a gadget.
Be it a video game, watch, or even a laptop or some kind of headset. This person is most likely obsessed with anything tech-related and will gladly use whatever you give them.
