1Experiences
When you don't know their taste — let them choose.
- Before you buy: match the store to them: a card for a shop they already use gets spent; one they don't gets forgotten.
- Not for: a partner or close family on a big occasion — on its own a card can read as low effort

2Bags & Travel
Capacity and laptop sizing matter more than looks.
- Before you buy: check the laptop compartment fits their laptop (14, 15.6 or 16 inches) — find out the size, don't assume.
- Not for: someone who has just bought a new bag

3Art & Craft
Preserved flowers, name plates, coasters and clocks set in resin.
- Before you buy: for preserved flowers, contact the artist before the event — the flowers need to reach them quickly and be dried before casting.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — resin work takes days to cure

4Personalised Gifts
A portrait, name or design drawn with thread wound between pins — made by hand from your photo.
- Before you buy: pick a photo with a clear face and strong contrast between light and dark — thread can't show fine, low-contrast detail.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — it's made by hand, one at a time

5Art & Craft
A painting or illustration of them — from a photo you share.
- Before you buy: share a sharp, well-lit photo where faces are clear — the portrait can only be as good as the photo.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — made-to-order work rarely arrives in days

How this list is made: only two hard rules — it stays within your budget and never shows what you asked to avoid. Everything else ranks rather than removes, each pick shows which of your answers it matched, and nobody pays to appear here. How GiftScene works
