How to choose the right gift 🎁🤔

I have several Christmas gift lists. One for family, & several more for friends, teachers, & coworkers... It is important to me to keep my shopping experience stress free, and I started thinking “guide idea pins” focusing on where & how to find the right gift (appropriate gift) would be helpful. Gift guide pins focusing on where to shop, and what to look for. For example Christmas gift list for teachers with it's own idea pin 👍What is the focus of your Idea pins for the holiday season?

 @mulberrycolors I think guide idea pins are brilliant! Although i don’t really participate in gift giving with friends or family in the recent years, those kind of pins are always intriguing to me and inspire me just in case.

This holiday season I’m trying to focus on holiday fashion - reasonable and cheap ways to look fabulous at your family or friend function. But your question made me think mayyybe I should post some fashion guide shopping pins… specifically for the people who are unsure what/where to buy clothes or gift cards for the women or men in their lives who like that. I’m going to also continue posting simmer pots because others seem to love them just as much as I do lol

Im so curious as to what others are thinking of!

If I was able to focus on that this year, I'd share Idea Pins for Holiday Wedding Party Gifts. The theme would be weddings scheduled from November - February. Any bridal events scheduled during this time of year get lost in the Christmas and Valentine's hype. It would be nice to give holiday weddings their due attention.

Hi @mulberrycolors!

I'm a big believer in leveraging the power of planning on Pinterest to -

  • Bring awareness to your brand by providing seasonally relevant solutions that matter to your audience.
  • By engaging with pinners by offering a Gift Guide as you suggested.
  • Converting new leads with an irresistible offer. Pro-tip: publish pins to make pinners early in the season so pinners can save them to come back to later for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday.

I've included some Idea Pins that I have made that performed quite well below.

Here are some examples of Idea Pins for Awareness

I especially like your Pin: The Ultimate Guide to Online Shopping this Holiday Season. Very useful and shows that you care about your customers. Though I'm not interested in buying jewelry, your promotional statements and the subtle animation in your Pins caused me to watch to the end of the ones that I chose to view. I like that the animation was not over the top, which can be annoying and repel viewing really. I enjoy writing good promotional statements so I appreciate the effort and skill in others.

I would have liked some light audio tracks, just because that's what we're used to. Non of my current pins have any music because I prefer to create on my laptop/desktop. I would like to add music clips because I think it adds more interest to pins. Hopefully, I can see my way to using my phone sometimes to design Idea Pins.

Love this topic as I just created an idea pin Christmas gift ideas around books for healing and manifesting. I'm also hosting a donation based self love Breathwork circle for the holidays next week so I created a pin around that. I'll also be creating a 5 day idea pin series for Breathing techniques for the holidays which will include stress relief, moving through triggers, feeling and releasing emotions etc. My main goal with this is to provide relief during the holidays and show how we can actually write our own stories around how we desire things to be vs how it's been.
