Gift-Giving Guide
Gift-giving is a kind way to show appreciation and strengthen relationships. As busy Executives and families may have their plates full with different priorities, finding the perfect gift for a loved one or curating thoughtful presents for employees and clients, can seem like an overwhelming task but it does not have to be!
Your EA can help you find the right gift with the following guidelines:
Pre-Shopping Stage
Personal Gift-Giving
Before starting the shopping process, provide the necessary information that includes:
Details on the recipient
Name / Profession / location
Hobbies and/or interests
Any past gifts
Recent changes in their life (new home, job or hobby)
Likes / Dislikes
Timeline, occasion and budget
Corporate Gift-Giving
On the professional side, gift-giving is an opportunity to express gratitude to employees, clients, and partners:
Customized Gifting: EAs can select tailored gifts that align with your brand’s image and values.
Bulk Coordination: From sourcing to shipping, the EA can work with vendors who handle large-scale gifting with efficiency and precision.
Tracking Budgets and Preferences: Your EA can maintain a record of past gifts, budget and recipient’s list to avoid duplication and ensure consistency year over year.
Gift Categories
Your EA can explore three different options based on your preferences:
Unique gifts - limited editions, handmade pieces or custom versions of a favorite item are some solid options.
Gift them an experience - private lessons, workshops, local adventures or tours, special tastings and behind-the-scene experiences can have a big lasting impact.
Personalized gifts - commissioned art or music, custom gifts or photo albums are some great choices.
The Benefits of Delegating Gift-Giving to Your EA
Once you have provided your direction and preferences, your EA can research options and present you with a suggested list for your choosing based on your criteria.
Furthermore, your EA will be able to coordinate with vendors, follow up with the order, gift wrapping and delivery.
Post Gift Giving
After the gifts have been taken care of, the EA can create a document with details on the recipients you usually purchase gifts for, special dates, past gifts and any additional preferences. Regrouping after gifts have been received and feedback is collected, this will create an opportunity to refine future gift choices and style.
This holiday season, or any time of the year, embrace the art of delegation and task your EA to help you create joy and gratitude through meaningful gifts. The perfect gift is only a task away!
