A just-because gift for a doting grandma
Chosen by: Caitlin Gallagher, Senior Editor
SHOP: Custom birthstone necklace from Bedrock Bijoux, from $42
"I was looking for a gift for my mom for no real reason—I just wanted to show her how much I appreciate her! Gift Mode instantly surfaced a ton of great options, and I ultimately landed on a beautiful raw birthstone necklace. I chose it because it's delicate and stunning, while still holding so much meaning: There's a stone to represent each of her grandchildren. She cried right when she opened it and told me she'll wear it every day! It's the perfect thing to keep her grandchildren close to her even when they aren't together."
A thank you gift for a caffeine-loving pal
Chosen by: Sofia Torres, Project Manager
SHOP: Coffee gift subscription box from Driftaway Coffee, from $60
"I was in the market for a present for my friend to say thanks for having me over for brunch, so I used the quiz to select 'friend' as my recipient, 'thank you' as the occasion, and 'drinks' as one of the interests since they love coffee. I landed on a coffee bean subscription from the seller Driftaway Coffee. It was one of the first results to pop up and is such a great idea! My friend will get to personalize her experience by testing the flavors and picking her favorite, which is so fun. I love how unique this gift is, and I likely wouldn't have thought of it without taking the Gift Mode quiz."
A birthday gift for an astrology devotee
Chosen by: Stephanie Ariniello, Senior Copywriter
SHOP: Zodiac sign scented candle from FIP Candles, $28
"My sister-in-law's birthday always sneaks up on me, but this year I'm ready thanks to Gift Mode! We both love astrology and home decor, and Gift Mode suggested a zodiac sign candle. It's almost too perfect, and I know she's going to love it."
A graduation gift for a globetrotter
Chosen by: Aaron Rodriguez, Senior Brand Content Strategist
SHOP: DIY Stitch-Where-You've-Been travel organizer from We Are Chasing Threads, $86
"I was looking for a belated graduation gift for my sister, so I needed something super-special! She loves to travel and go on long hikes (the more difficult, the better) and I found this incredible wallet-meets-passport-holder under The Globetrotter. She also loves crafting, and this will let her stitch all the places she's been to into the leather. I've never seen anything like it before, and I know she'll think of me every time she visits a new location and gets to add it to the wallet. Best. Gift. EVER!"
