By now, you know that using CheckedTwice makes family gift exchanges much easier. But did you know that you can also use it to coordinate an epic surprise? Here’s how to do it and make Christmas morning that much more exciting!
It all starts with adding a surprise gift to the recipient’s wish list. When it is marked as a surprise, they won’t be able to see it, but the rest of the family will. Family members can claim the item and then split the costs to buy it together. Or, they can add coordinating elements to a surprise gift (or even a regular gift that they know about) to make a total package.
Timmy’s mom knows he would love an Xbox for Christmas but with controllers, games, and other accessories, it is a pricey proposition, and leaves it off of his wish list. Timmy’s favorite aunt also knows that he would love an Xbox for Christmas and adds it to his wish list as a surprise gift, and claims it herself. Seeing that Timmy will be getting an Xbox, Timmy’s grandparents add and claim a surprise game and head set and his uncle Jim decides to buy him some extra controllers so that he will be able to play, too, next time he is in town. And just like that, an epic Christmas morning for Timmy is formed.
The whole family worked together to put together a fantastic, collaborative gift. Seeing someone’s wish list opens up a whole world of coordinating gift ideas and helps make sure the element of surprise is never lost.
The possibilities are endless… so when looking for gift ideas, look not only at what someone has added to their wish list but for opportunities to coordinate or enhance gifts that have already been claimed. When you have a full picture of someone’s wants and interests, giving great gifts is a lot more fun!
Wouldn't it be nice to know the perfect gift for everyone in your family?
