For most people, or at least for me, it’s hard to come up with good gift ideas, so I’m always on the look out for good resources for finding gifts for friends and loved ones. I actually wrote a post right before Christmas called Awesome and Different Christmas Gift Ideas that you might also find helpful.
Over the weekend, I came across No Sweaters, which is gift idea search engine.
On the home page, you type in the person you’re getting a gift for, such as your mom, husband, girlfriend, fiance, girlfriends parents, boss, barista, roommate, or anyone else you can think of, and the website offers some suggestions on the following page. If you don’t like what’s offered, you can drill a little deeper by entering an occasion, such as a birthday, and then selecting a few interests.
I gave it test run for my fiance (I had to enter “wife” since fiance is gender neutral) and after selecting a few of her interests, it actually came back with some very relevant results. I was surprised.
And if you still can’t find a good gift, you have the option of asking the No Sweater community, who can help you come up with even more ideas. This is such a cool idea.
Remember this site come Christmas!
Hey Alex,
