How much should I spend on a gift?

Gift spending by relationship: close family (parent, sibling) - $50-150; extended family - $25-75; close friend - $30-75; colleague - $15-30. Budget also depends on occasion: milestone events (wedding, major birthday) typically call for more than annual holidays. A thoughtful $30 gift that perfectly matches interests is more valued than a generic $100 gift.

What are the most popular gift categories in 2026?

Top gift categories in 2026: experience gifts (cooking classes, spa days, event tickets); personalized items (custom jewelry, monogrammed goods); wellness and self-care products; smart home devices; subscription boxes matched to interests; and quality home goods (premium cookware, weighted blankets). The trend is toward fewer, higher-quality items that create lasting memories.
