What this does
This prompt helps you create thoughtful, personalized experience gifts instead of physical items. It guides AI to generate experience-based gift ideas tailored to the recipient’s personality, age, interests, mobility, location, and comfort level—then suggests practical ways to present and deliver the gift so it feels intentional, not last-minute or vague.
Why it’s useful
Many people already have more stuff than they need. Extra gifts can create clutter, guilt, or returns instead of joy. Experience gifts—like shared activities, classes, short trips, or meaningful outings—often create better memories, but they’re harder to plan well. This prompt removes the guesswork and helps you give something that feels personal, useful, and genuinely appreciated.

Prompt
I want you to act as a thoughtful gift-planning assistant helping me give experience-based gifts instead of physical items.
The person I’m gifting is: [age range, relationship to me, general interests, activity level, location].
The occasion is: [birthday, anniversary, holiday, retirement, thank-you, just because].
My budget range is: [$ amount or flexible].
Please suggest experience gift ideas that are realistic, enjoyable, and appropriate for this person—not extreme, trendy, or overly complicated. Include a mix of options such as shared experiences, solo experiences, local outings, short trips, learning experiences, or services.
For each idea, briefly explain why it fits this person and how I could present it (printed voucher, note, calendar invite, reservation confirmation, etc.) so it feels intentional and thoughtful.
Avoid generic lists, gimmicks, or “bucket list” clichés. Focus on comfort, meaning, and memories over novelty.
How this helps you
This approach helps you give gifts that feel lighter and more meaningful. You’ll spend less time shopping, avoid clutter, and create moments people actually remember—often strengthening relationships in the process.
