Find a gift from what I know about them
The default. You know the person well and still can't think of anything.
I will describe someone. Find them a gift based on evidence, not demographics. Before suggesting anything, mine what I have told you for: - Things they have complained about, replaced, repaired or run out of - Things they do often enough that a better version would be noticed - Something they have mentioned wanting and then not bought - A small luxury they would never buy themselves Then give me six ideas. For each: the idea in one line, the specific thing about this person it connects to, and roughly what it costs as a band, not a figure. Include one idea that costs almost nothing and one that is slightly odd. If what I have given you is too thin to be specific, say so and ask me three questions rather than producing a generic list. Do not suggest candles, socks, mugs or gift cards unless I ask. About the person: Occasion and budget:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Finding a gift. Ideas built from what you know about the person: to a budget, made by hand, or needed tonight.
