What to give: the Tiny Gifts chooser
Eight situations people arrive with, the problem each one sets, and the page that answers it. Then six things worth settling before the box arrives.
By who is getting it
| Who it is for | The problem it sets | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| A class of twenty-four | Twenty-four identical things under two dollars each | Mini gifts for students |
| An office floor | One order, forty desks, a card with each | Mini gifts for coworkers |
| A party bag | One thing that does one thing, by the dozen | Mini party favors |
| A stocking | Four or five things, and one of them flat | Tiny stocking stuffers |
| A teacher at the end of term | Something that runs out, or fits in a bag | Tiny gifts for teachers |
| A colleague leaving on Friday | Specific rather than expensive | Tiny thank you gifts |
| Somebody who has everything | Something that ends | Tiny gifts for mom |
| A hundred wedding guests | Small, light, and boxed if you can | Mini wedding favors |
Six checks
What to settle before you order
None of these takes five minutes, and every one of them is a reason people order twice.
- 01
Count the people first
Everything else follows from it. One person and a budget is a different shop from twenty-four people and the same budget, and the second one is answered by the pack count rather than by the price.
- 02
Divide before you decide
A twenty-dollar box of thirty is sixty-seven cents a person. A twenty-dollar boxed set is one present. Both are on the same shelf and they answer different questions.
- 03
Check the measurement
A stocking toe takes about two inches across. A party bag takes a fist. A padded envelope takes a quarter of an inch of clearance. The card prints the widest measurement where the data has one.
- 04
Ask whether it runs out
A balm ends and a resin frog does not. For somebody with a full shelf, the one that ends is the kinder present.
- 05
Look behind the lid
Anything that lights up has a coin cell in it. The compartment should need a tool or two separate movements to open, and that is worth testing the day it arrives.
- 06
Leave time for the bagging
Thirty pieces in one bag are not thirty presents until somebody has bagged them. The sets that arrive divided cost more for exactly that reason.
