Free gifts & giving tip: Ask 'this month' out loud (step 1 of 9 from "The Three-Question Gift Test").
Say the question literally: 'Will they use this in the next 30 days?' Someday gifts are fiction — language learning software for a non-starter, camping gear for someone who hates bugs, a journal for a non-journaler.
If the honest answer is 'when they finally get around to it,' fail the question. Pass examples: replacement for something broken, upgrade to daily tool, food they eat weekly, ticket to an event within the month. Calendar proximity forces honesty.
Pro tip: Seasonality counts. December gloves pass in November; fail in June unless they are traveling.
