Gift giving, though it can be joyful and fulfilling, can also be incredibly stressful. We always want to give our friends and loved ones gifts that they’ll love, whether it’s something they need and will find useful or something they’ve been pining for since their last birthday. If you find yourself in a rut, there are few options that are sure to show that special someone you care.

A Monthly Subscription

You can get a monthly subscription for almost anything these days. All you need to do is think of one thing your loved one is particularly fond of and find a subscription that fits your budget. Whether it’s a gift coffee subscription, crafts, salsa or their favorite video streaming service, this is a gift that they will be able to enjoy for a whole year, until it’s time to get them another gift! The best thing about this option is that it will remind them of you every month.

Something Useful

A gift from this category may not be as cool or fun but it will certainly make the receiver of your gift happy. If you’ve heard them talking about some small annoyance lately, look for a product that could make life easier for them. You may have heard them talking about something they need but haven’t gotten yet, in which case, your job is easy, or you may find something useful that they never knew they needed!

A Class

If there’s something your loved one is interested in, look for classes in your area that teach more about that subject. It could be an astrology class at your local community college or anything from archery to cooking. Either way, your loved one will have tons of learning about it, thanks to you.

Oftentimes, we make gift giving far more difficult than it needs to be, but if we take a deep breath and look at all our options we can always find the right gift.
