We all have an idea of what we deem as the perfect gift.
It could be anything fromthe year’s trendiest bagto planned out vacation for two.
How do you figure out what that is for someone else?
Well, it turns out there an easy place to start.
You don’t need to pick their brains or bug them about sending you their lists.
All you gotta do is have themtake one tiny quiz.
They won’t even know that you’re about to give them the greatest gift.
That means doing things like cleaning the house or filling up their gas tank.
Here’s the catch you do those things for the person without being asked.
If you’re looking tonail the perfect gift, that means you’ll want to go service based.
It’s going totake some empathy, though.
Here are some ideas to get you started.
Unfortunately, that does really hit home on Christmas morning.
It’s a sentimental act of kindness that the person won’t see coming.
Want to amp it up a bit?
Pick a few recipes and stock the fridge with the ingredients to make them.
That way, you guys can make some of them over the holiday break.
It’s a two-part gift that will give the person so much joy.
Here’s the kicker, you’re not just going to buy a new coffee machine.
That would be too easy.
Instead, grab a coffee maker that you might set to go off at the perfect time.
According toGood Housekeeping, the Breville Precision Brewer is one of the perfect coffee makers for just that.
Don’t just stop there, though.
It’s like an act of service that keeps on giving every morning.
Because nothing says “I love you” like a weekend trip away (viaGift Willow).
Everyone likes seeing presents under the tree even people who are an act of service love language.
Take your trip one step further and print out and frame the itinerary that you’ve created.
Breakfast in bed with a brand new tray and accessories
Laying low this holiday?
Then we’ve got the perfect idea for you.
Don’t just make it a typical breakfast in bed, though.
Instead, splurge for a special breakfast tray to commemorate the holiday, like Anthropologie’s Calliope Breakfast Tray.
It’s a gift and an act of service all in one.
It might seem juvenile, but sometimes the perfect gift is doing chores for someone (viaBustle).
Try gifting a monthly floor cleaning to someone for six month of a year.
Or maybe it’s a good bathroom scrub every few months.
That way, you give them gift but don’t actually have to do the service.
