Gift guides

A gift guide should answer a narrow question: who is this for, what will they use next week, and what should you skip. These pages are organized that way, with budget bands you can shop inside.

Where a specific price would go stale, the guide names the decision instead: size, material, return window, and whether a nicer version of something they already use beats a novelty.

Retail buttons point at stores where you can confirm stock and shipping dates. For a holiday deadline, the return policy and the delivery date matter more than a small price gap.
