• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to buy the perfect gift? Every single time? There are
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: four questions apparently, right, Christine, you can ask yourself to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: help streamline your holiday shopping.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: When you're out there shopping. Cubby, Yeah, when you're in
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the store. Me right now, you personally, yes, you have.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: This is what you need to think about when you're
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: considering a gift.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm looking I'm in TJ Max, I'm looking around.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You're like, what did we last talk about? Because people
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: are always dropping ideas. If the person was saying, my
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: commute's really tough, it's wearing me out. Maybe you can
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: get an app store gift card. Oh, they can download
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: an app for like a audiobook subscription or something, you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: if they're driving.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Or it involves us men listening, it does pay attention
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to the hints.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Or if if she Coco maybe signed up for yoga class,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you could look around for a mat and some gear
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and things like that for.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Her, buy a matta go along with what she's into.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Another question, does it tie into a personal experience. You
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: know what's better than a gift card one to a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: restaurant that you've been to together. Nostalgia. Yeah, people like nostalgia.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Remember we used to come here all the time.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, here you go back in the day.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You could do something like that. Say what does he
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: or she do regularly? Like it's it's do they have
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a favorite coffee brew that they have every morning? Do
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: they hike? Do they have dogs? Do they write lists
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: for themselves? So then that will give you some ideas
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: or like you know, maybe special coffee maker or special coffees,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: or some hiking gear or something that you know is
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: good for walking the dogs.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Right, so so far we've got what did you talk
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: about last? That's a question you ask yourself before you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: buy the gift. Can you tie in a personal experience? Yes?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And what does he or she do regularly? Yes? What's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the fourth thing we should really pay attention to, what.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Is the purpose of this gift? If you can't answer
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the question, you must keep shopping, move on, pass, go
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to the next. Ultimately, gifts, right, should be a reflection
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of how well you know the needs of the person
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you're buying them for. Yeah, don't just buy stuff for
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the sake of buying stuff.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because sometimes you feel like you just want to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: check off the box. Yeah, and just be done with it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I know, and like though this is pretty, but yeah,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you want them to really be able to use it.
