Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Making a list of gift ideas for yourself and others

Bob tangled up in gift wrapping and ribbon.

Gift time around birthdays and holidays can be really tricky: “Wait, what do they want?” or “Wait, what do I want?”

This week’s tip from adamrakich is beautiful in its simplicity: keep track of gifts for the right occasion, whether you’re shopping for someone else or someone else is asking what you want. 😅

I use RTM for a lot of “I need this but not now” use cases, but one I get a lot of use out of is listing future gifts.

For my wife and my son - they mention something they like, but birthday/Christmas not for a long time? On the list, and I can consult it at the right time.

And actually just as much for me - I’m hard to buy for sometimes, so when I see something I like but I’m not going to get for myself - on the list, and when my wife comes asking for ideas, I’m ready to go!
