What to give for New Year: AI finds the gift
Say who the gift is for, how old they are, what they love and your budget. Next to it are five directions to start with; in the chat, ten ideas with reasons and a hint on where to look.
Prompt sent to the chat: «Suggest 10 New Year gift ideas for my mom, age 58. Interests: her dacha garden, peonies, learning watercolor. Budget: up to ₽3,000. For each idea: what to give (a category, no specific brands or shops), why it suits this particular person and where such things are usually found (type of shop or marketplace). Include 2 experience gifts and 1 gift I can make myself. Don’t suggest clichés like socks or shower gel unless they relate to the interests.»
- 1For their interest: her dacha garden, peonies, learning watercolorSupplies or gear for what the person actually does – a gift like that won’t end up on a shelf.
- 2A plant in a beautiful potA living gift that brings joy all year – if she loves flowers.
- 3A photo book or calendar of family photosPersonal, with the family’s story – you can’t buy it ready-made.
- 4A tea set to her tasteA few kinds of tea and a jar of jam – a gift that will certainly be used.
- 5Warm things for the homeA throw or soft socks in good yarn: cosiness every evening.
The preview shows sample categories. In the chat the AI takes your details into account, suggests ten ideas and tells you what kind of shops usually sell them. Check prices yourself.
Gift ideas are a text task, free on the Starter plan (30 units of energy). A photo gift or a picture card comes with plans from Lite at ₽690.

This gets you a catalogue list
“What should I give my mom for New Year?”
The AI doesn’t know your mom and gives what everyone gets: a throw, a mug, a cosmetics set.
This gets you a gift for her
“Mom is 58, spends all summer at the dacha, grows peonies, and took up watercolor this autumn. Budget up to ₽3,000. She already has throws and mugs”
One vivid detail and one “already has” remove half the obvious options.
Don’t like the list? Write in the same chat: “10 more, but nothing for the kitchen” or “tell me more about three of them”.
Gifts for colleagues and corporate gifts
At work a gift is judged on whether it is appropriate. Tell the AI who is giving to whom, and it will keep the right distance.
For the whole department
Matching gifts in one style, with the amount per person agreed in advance. Say how many people and the budget for each.
For your manager
Better from the whole team and tied to a hobby: one good thing instead of ten souvenirs. A note from the team matters more than the price.
From the company to staff and clients
Useful rather than souvenir-like; with or without the company name. Ask for the pros and cons of each option and where such things are ordered in bulk.
A gift from the company can come with a card bearing the company name and a greeting – make them on the New Year for business page.
A gift for a child: age matters more than budget
Children outgrow toys fast. Give the exact age and what the child loves now, not a year ago.
- 1–3 years
- What usually delights: Big soft and musical toys, board books
- What to add to the request: “safe, no small parts”
- 4–6 years
- What usually delights: Arts and crafts, role play, simple board games
- What to add to the request: favorite characters and what they play
- 7–10 years
- What usually delights: Building sets, science kits, sleds and skates
- What to add to the request: what interests them in and after school
- 11–14 years
- What usually delights: Serious hobbies, “grown-up” things
- What to add to the request: “no childish options”
- 15–17 years
- What usually delights: Experiences, gear for a hobby, money towards a dream in nice wrapping
- What to add to the request: ask them directly – and give the AI the list
A gift from Ded Moroz, the Russian Father Frost, starts with a letter: help your child write a letter to Ded Moroz, and in the morning show them a photo of Ded Moroz by your tree.
Experience gifts
People who “have everything” get an evening, a trip or a new skill. The AI picks options for their age and character and comes up with a nice way to present the invitation under the tree.
- Workshop: pottery, cooking, wine
- A concert or a play
- A weekend in another city
- Spa or massage
- An escape room for friends
- A course in their hobby
- A photoshoot
Handmade gifts and photo gifts
Handmade in one evening
Gingerbread in a box, a jar of “100 reasons” notes, a wax candle, a knitted scarf for those who knit. Ask the AI what to buy, how long it takes and how to wrap it.
Photos that never happened
For grandma, the whole family in one shot by the tree, even if everyone lives in different cities. For parents, a picture in the style of a Soviet-era card. Print it, frame it, and the gift is ready.
A card and a few words for the gift
A gift without a note is just a purchase. Two handwritten lines on a card make it personal. The chat writes the text for free on the New Year greetings page, and you can make the card itself in New Year cards.

FAQ
What should I give for New Year if I have no ideas at all?
Describe the person: age, what they do at weekends, what they already have. The AI suggests ten ideas of different kinds – things, experiences, handmade – and it is easier to choose from those.
Is finding gift ideas free?
Yes, it is a text request, included in the Starter plan. Only images are paid: a photo gift or card comes with plans from Lite at ₽690.
Will the AI tell me where to buy a gift and how much it costs?
It tells you where such things are usually found: a marketplace, a craft shop, a workshop. Exact prices and stock change, so check them yourself.
What is an inexpensive New Year gift for colleagues?
Pick “Colleague” and the “up to ₽1,000” budget. Sweets boxes, desk calendars and handmade tree ornaments work well – the key is the same for everyone.
Which New Year gifts should a company give its staff?
Give the number of employees, the budget per person and whether the company name should be printed. Ask for the pros and cons of each option and bulk order lead times.
What should a child get from Ded Moroz?
Whatever the child asked for in their letter, plus a small surprise on top. Give the age and interests – the AI suggests options and tells you how to sign the gift as Ded Moroz, the Russian Father Frost.
Can I give a photo made with AI?
Yes: a family photo by the tree made from separate shots, a New Year portrait or a Soviet-style card. Print and frame it for a personal gift.
