The gift giving season is quickly approaching. I can’t believe that we are already to November 3rd! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it (can’t wait to have all that yummy food) and then the various winter holidays will be upon us before we know it. I don’t know about you, but I absolutely HATE giving a gift and wondering whether or not the person is going to like it or not.
Lucky for people like you and me, there is a great website called Pick UR Gift, a reverse wish list site!
How does it work?
Pick UR Gift is a super neat site. You make a list of things you think the person you are giving a gift to would like and then they get to pick someone off that list!! Putting items on the list is easy. Simply add the “UR Button” to your bookmarks bar. While you are surfing the internet, if you see something you think the person on your gift list would like, press the “UR Button” and a little screen will pop up for you to add it to your list.
Another thing I like about Pick UR Gift is the ability for me to make a wish list for myself. My husband is forever asking me what I want and I never know what to tell him. He has very limited time to Christmas shop because of his work schedule so I am putting together my wish list and we’ll see what happens!!
Yes…I want the Jason Priestley autobiography…no judging!
One of the last things I like about Pick UR Gift is their blog. They have great gift ideas, giveaways, and more!

I want that dress from ModCloth! Also, there are dozens of other dresses that I want from their store. 🙂
Liz Mays says
The convenience of adding it so quickly to your list can’t be ignored. That’s my kind of bookmarking!
Leah Kanaan says
It is super quick!!! I love it!
Valerie Remy-Milora says
Wow I had never heard of “PickUrGift” but I LOVE it! I ‘m going to check it out and share it with my friends and family 🙂 ( BTW I love that ModCloth dress and so many other cure things on ModCloth!)
Crystal says
I love that you can help out your family & friends when it comes to gift giving. Sometimes I know the perfect gift for someone, while other times it’s way trickier. Having this as a resource would make it so easy!
Whitney @ It's Gravy, Baby! says
This is such a neat idea! I like that it truly takes the guesswork out of gift-giving and that you know the recipient will enjoy their gift!
Kimberly Grabinski says
I really love the Pick Ur Gift concept. My husband does not improvise well so it’s a good way for me to give him options.
robyn says
I love this idea. What a great way to purchase a gift that the recipient truly likes.
LyndaS says
I hope that my nieces see this. It would make buying gifts for my great-nieces so much easier.

I heard about PickUrGift last year but didn’t use it. I am going to put it to work this year. That watch you’ve picked is beautiful!
Leah Kanaan says
Thanks!! I’ve been checking the Coach outlet every time they have a sale to see if they put that watch there…so far…no!
Karen W says
This is such a great idea, especially for those hard to buy for people. This way you know you’ll get them something they like. I love it! Thanks. PS I met Jason Priestly and he’s super nice!!!
Leah Kanaan says
OH MY GOSH! I would totally die if I got to meet Brandon Walsh <--Biggest 90210 fan ever!
Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says
I could get lost on a site like that! I’d go from no clue what i wanted to a list a mile long!
Virginia @thatbaldchick says
Oh I need to have my husband do this. He is the hardest person to buy for ever!
Leah Kanaan says
You should set one up and pick items that you think he would like and send it to him!!
Ellen That Chic Mom says
That is such a great idea especially if you are unsure what they truly want. I would love this for picking my gifts then send it to my husband!
Lynsey @MoscatoMom says
I totally need Mike to do this. He is by far THE WORST person to shop for. I pull my hair out every holiday trying to think of something for him.
Robin Gagnon says
I like this idea. It is sort of a reverse of the traditional list.
Elizabeth Ferree says
Really convenient especially during the holiday season. I must add that I really like the dress you have displayed there. Need to get my family to fill this out and do it so it would make shopping so much easier on me.
Kerri says
I had not heard of this. It is getting harder and harder to get my nieces and nephews gifts so I should tell them about this !
Marina says
I think the simplicity and ease of being able to list out exactly what you would love, is great! This is also a great way to be able to split gift buying chores between your spouse and you, too!
