If you're a last minute shopper, and you're coming up short on ideas this holiday season, we’ve got some good news for you!
Here's a quick Claude prompt you can run to generate a few thoughtful gift suggestions for your special someone:
I need help finding last-minute holiday gift ideas.
Please help me by considering:
Person I'm buying for:
- Their age: {Insert age}
- Their relationship to me: {Insert age}
- Their main interests/hobbies: {Insert their interests}
- My budget range: {Insert price range}
- Any gift restrictions or preferences: {Insert constraints}
Based on this information, please provide:
1. 3-5 thoughtful gift suggestions with brief explanations
2. Where to purchase each item
3. Alternative backup options if the main suggestions aren't available
Use this prompt to find a personalized gift for anyone on your list.
Just fill in:
Their details (age, relationship to you)
What they're interested in
How much you want to spend
Any constraints (like "must be available for pickup" or "no clothes")
For example, let’s say you need a last-minute gift for your dad, who loves grilling and reading. Your budget is $40 and you’re looking for something “unconventional.”
Add your gift specifications into the prompt above and then run it.
Here’s what Claude came up with:
The literary-themed spices looked like the perfect gift idea!
So, I ran a quick Google search and found the Book Club Cookbook. They have a nice gift box with a "Game of Scones" spice blend. (I love the internet.)
And if shipping deadlines have passed or items are out of stock, you can follow up and ask AI to generate digital gift ideas instead—like a custom recipe collection or personalized book recommendations list that you can email or print out nicely.
Want to make your gift extra special?
Add a personalized poem using AI to bring a smile to your gift-giving.
Just give it a few specific details about your relationship and shared experiences.
Here’s the prompt:
Please write a light-hearted poem for my {Recipient Relationship} gift that:
- References our shared memory of [specific experience]
- Mentions his love of [grilling/reading]
- Includes a playful joke or pun about [relevant topic]
- Is no longer than 4-6 lines
- Has a warm but humorous tone
Optional details to include:
- Any funny mishaps or inside jokes
- Favorite foods he grills
- Books or authors he loves
Print out the result or hand write it on a nice piece of stationery.
A personal touch like this can make even a simple gift feel special.
That’s it.
We hope these prompts help make your last-minute gift shopping a little easier!
Happy holidays everyone!
