TIPS ON USING AI TO ENHANCE YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

• Personalised gift recommendations: Use AI-driven platforms (like Amazon, Etsy, or specialised gift websites) to get personalised gift suggestions based on preferences, past purchases, or even social media profiles.

• Budget management: Use AI-powered tools (like Honey or Karma) to help track your spending, find discounts, and keep you within your budget.

• Price tracking and alerts: Use AI-based price trackers (e.g., CamelCamelCamel or PriceBlink) to monitor price changes and receive notifications when a product goes on sale.

• Gift wrapping and customisation: Some AI services offer personalised gift wrapping ideas or allow for custom engraving/embellishment based on your preferences.

• Product reviews and comparisons: Let AI tools (like ChatGPT or AI-driven review aggregators) help you compare products across brands, analysing reviews, ratings, and price to ensure the best value.

• Time-saving automation: Use AI tools like virtual assistants (e.g., Google Assistant, Siri, or Amazon Alexa) to schedule reminders for gift purchasing, track packages, and even place orders on your behalf.

• Gift card suggestions: AI can analyse a person’s interests and suggest perfect gift cards from places they love to shop.

• Virtual shopping assistance: Some online retailers have AI chatbots or assistants that can guide you through the shopping process, offering style tips or helping find items in stock.

• Seasonal fashion and trend forecasting: AI-powered tools and websites (like Pinterest or Google Trends) can give you insight into seasonal fashion, trending gift ideas, and the latest products.

• Sustainable gift ideas: Use AI-driven platforms to find eco-friendly or sustainable gifts, helping you shop more responsibly during the holidays.

• Gift experience ideas: Use AI to suggest experience-based gifts (like concert tickets, classes, or spa days), taking into account the recipient’s interests and location.

• Multi-store shopping: AI apps can search across various online stores to find the best price for a particular item, saving you time and ensuring you get the best deal.
