Can't find the perfect gift? ...we've all been there.

You're probably like me -- you've given, and received, hundreds of gifts over the years. But have you ever been ecstatic about a gift you've received or given to someone you care about?


I'm assuming... not many times.


So, it's time to step up your gift-giving skills. After doing a bit of research and polling, I have the solution for you.

The problem? Finding the right gift can be a challenge.

Just consider some of these numbers. According to Studyfinds, a poll was conducted by 2,000 Americans. 1 out of 20 believe they’re impossible to shop for. 67% of those people stated it’s because they’re extremely picky about what they want.


Nearly half believe they either have everything they could possibly want (47%) or never know what to ask for (45%).


Further, the survey discovered that 63 percent of Americans have previously received a duplicate gift during the holidays.


So, not only are some people choosy, but many don't know what they even want anyway. And when they do receive a gift, there's a good chance they can just get it themselves (or have it already).

Who you are buying for matters.

The irony for most people is that the most challenging gift giving is to those who are typically closest to us in life. Check out this breakdown of showing which people are the toughest to choose gifts for.

Buying gifts for a significant other, siblings, and parents are some of the most difficult people to buy gifts for. But that's exactly who we typically buy gifts for, especially around holidays and special occasions.

There's good news too.

There's also a plethora of reasons to love giving gifts. For myself, you, and other gift givers, 68% say the thought behind the gift counts more than the gift itself!


And most people actually enjoy giving gifts just as much as they do receiving them.


In other words, people aren't always that easy to buy gifts for. But it doesn't always matter. The gesture is appreciated regardless of what they may really want.

People, especially women, love surprises.

In this separate poll taken, people were asked if the best gift you ever received was indeed a surprise. Check out the difference!

So far, we know that people appreciate the gesture, they love surprises, and it's getting quite difficult to find something that somebody doesn't already have.


Also, people don't always know what they want.

Experiences make for better memories.

You probably want your gift to be memorable. So, there's an easy trick.


According to Consumer Reports, and a poll conducted by CBS regarding retail shopping, 50% of respondents think experiential gifts are better than tangible goods. For people between aged 25 to 34, two-thirds prefer an experience!


Yet experience-based gifts made up only 12 percent of gifts last year.


People undoubtedly prefer experiences over tangible type goods as gifts. And it's even more apparent among millennials.

Personalized gifts are more meaningful -- FACT.

At Songs With You, they turn their passion for creative writing and producing music, into personalizing songs as gifts. Why? Because this experience, most often a surprise, is truly meaningful and makes people around the world happy and valued.  

Their first-hand feedback from customers is quite phenomenal. Despite Amazon's ease of buying products (stuff), people want gifts that have meaning and come from the heart.

It's all about the memories.

Why do so many people prefer experiences over materialistic things? Simply put ..the feeling it gives them when they reflect on the memories you shared together. Hence, creating a beautiful new memory, receiving their personalized gift, from you.

A customized song inspired by you can elevate those moments and make them even more memorable.

Music makes a gift come alive.

Summary: Why a personalized song is worth trying.

Here are a few reasons why giving presents to people can be a challenge: expectations can be tricky, generational gaps can leave us wondering what a person really wants, and often times people already have everything they need.
