Stop Overthinking Gifts: A No-Stress Guide to Choosing Thoughtful Presents in Minutes
If buying a gift feels like a test you're destined to fail, you're not alone. Every year, millions of people spend hours scrolling, stressing, and second-guessing - all in the name of finding the "perfect" present. But here's the truth: the perfect gift doesn't exist. And chasing it is exactly what makes gift-giving so stressful.
In Stop Overthinking Gifts, Dr. Peter Fogarty helps you break the overthinking cycle once and for all. This practical, encouraging guide shows you exactly how to choose thoughtful presents - quickly, confidently, and without the emotional pressure that usually comes with gifting.
Whether you're shopping for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or "just because" moment, you'll discover how to:
Let go of the myth of the perfect gift
Decode what people actually want (without awkward questions)
Pick a gift in 5 minutes or less using a simple, repeatable method
Stop confusing "expensive" with "meaningful"
Give small or budget-friendly gifts that still feel special
Find ideas for even the hardest-to-buy-for people
Master last-minute gifting without looking unprepared
Add personal touches without going overboard or making it cringey
Handle the fear of "What if they don't like it?"
Build your own "Gift Vault" so you're never stuck again
This isn't another list of random gift ideas. Stop Overthinking Gifts gives you a mindset reset and a proven framework for no-stress gifting you can use for life. You'll learn why most of us put too much pressure on ourselves when buying gifts, how to avoid the mental traps that make it harder, and how to give in a way that feels good to you and the person receiving it.
Inside, you'll find relatable stories of "gift anxiety," quick checklists to simplify your decision-making, and practical strategies to make gift-giving faster, easier, and far more enjoyable. From parents and partners to in-laws, minimalists, and "the person who has everything," you'll finally have an approach that works for every personality and occasion.
If you've ever...
Spent way too much money because you thought it would make the gift better
Waited until the last minute because you couldn't decide
Given something you weren't sure about, then obsessed over their reaction
Avoided gift-giving altogether because it felt too stressful
...this book will change how you think about giving forever.
By the end, you'll have a personalized strategy for buying thoughtful gifts in minutes, not hours - with no guilt, no panic, and no second-guessing. You'll know exactly how to match the right kind of gift to the right person without overspending, overcomplicating, or overthinking.
Stop Overthinking Gifts is more than just a guide - it's a confidence boost for anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure of giving. Whether you're naturally generous but stressed, a last-minute gifter who wants to be more prepared, or simply someone who wants gift-giving to feel joyful again, this book gives you the tools, clarity, and mindset shift you need.
