How to Find the Right Gift for Anyone: A Quick Quiz

Start with one question: who is it for?

The best gift usually comes from a person's habits, not their wish list. Answer three quick questions, personality, relationship and budget, and you will land on a short list of funny, wearable gifts. This guide works like a quiz: pick the line that sounds most like your person.

Step 1: pick the personality

• The cat person: talks about the cat in meetings. Start with the Cat People collection, such as Adopted by a Cat for the Holidays.
• The dog person: has a camera roll that is mostly dog. Browse the Dog People collection, including Good Boy, Questionable Choices.
• The coffee person: cannot start without a cup. Try the Coffee Lovers collection.
• The tech person: debugs for fun. See Programmer Humor, or the I Asked the AI. It Asked for Coffee. tee.
• The cozy homebody: a blanket is a lifestyle. The Blanket Fort Architect sweatshirt fits.
• The foodie host: owns the gravy boat. The Gravy Boat Captain tee is a safe laugh.

Step 2: add the relationship

The same personality needs a different gift depending on who you are to them.

• Parent: go warm and affectionate. The Mom Mode: Low Battery sweatshirt is a family-friendly joke that lands.
• Partner: look at couples picks or a design that references an inside joke.
• Family or a group: matching sets in the Family and New Baby collection make photos easier.
• Coworker or Secret Santa: keep it light and under budget. The Under $30 collection is the place to start.
• Friend: go funnier and more specific. The Funny and Sarcastic collection has the sharpest jokes.

Step 3: set the budget

Tees start at $29.99, sweatshirts at $44.99 and hoodies at $49.99. Plus Size tees are $34.99 and plus size sweatshirts start at $54.99. US orders over $50 ship free, so two tees or one hoodie can cross the line. If you want ideas sorted by price, the Gift Guide has a section for gifts under $35.

Step 4: choose the style

A tee works in any climate and is the easiest gift. A sweatshirt is the everyday winner. A hoodie suits people who run cold or layer. Some designs, mostly the seasonal ones, let you switch between tee, sweatshirt and hoodie on the product page, so you can keep the joke and change the style. Our guide to hoodie vs sweatshirt vs tee explains the differences.

Step 5: get the size right

Pieces are unisex and true to size, and the size guide says to size up one for a relaxed look. If you do not know the size, do not guess. Items are printed to order, so size exchanges are not possible. For a hard-to-shop-for person, an Inkida gift card lets them choose the design and the size.

Plan the timing

Most US orders arrive in 6 to 11 business days. For Christmas delivery, order by December 8. If the date has passed, a gift card arrives by email in minutes. The last-minute gift guide has a simple plan for it.
