Gifted

Looking for a present that fits the person rather than the occasion? This guide offers a thousand gift suggestions, sorted into more than twenty personality profiles. Each profile gets its own named type, such as the Curious Kid, the Sporty Adventurer, the Big Boss, the Quirky Pal, or the Sweet 16, with ideas tailored to that character.

Written by a self-described shopaholic, the book is presented as the first gift guide to group recipients by personality. For every idea, readers get practical shopping details, including the online retailer and the approximate cost. The selections lean toward unusual finds, with unique services, shops, and products, and the author encourages readers to think beyond the obvious.

The guide also introduces less common occasions to give gifts for, among them the Nouveau Divorce, the Mommy-Any-Minute, and the Gay Hooray.
