Free gifts & giving tip: Keep a top-three list per person (step 8 of 9 from "The Three-Question Gift Test").

Maintain three scored ideas per recipient year-round. When a birthday appears, you are not starting from zero. Delete fails immediately; promote passes when budget allows.

Share the framework with a partner or sibling when buying jointly — same vocabulary prevents 'I thought they'd love the kayak' disasters.

You'll need

  • Three ideas scored
  • At least one triple-pass or strong two-pass
  • Fails deleted, not 'saved for later'
