It would be a personal shopping service of sorts, but only for gift items and unique things. We would buy, wrap and ship the gifts (options) for b-days, weddings, etc. on down the list. We would also offer to buy gifts for the person themselves if they just want something special. Also we could call you with the important dates/reminders if you wish. The gifts would be unique - I figure we could shop in local stores, gift shops, or even online which offers a huge selection as you know! Items could include tickets to an event, or even a weekend getaway. All of this would be done in a set budget of course.
I think this business might go over well because people are lacking time to do things these days (like the personal shoppers), and at least many people I know hate to look for gifts. They just dont know what to get the person who has everything, and we would step in and do this all for them.
So what do you all think? Is this enough info for you? Do you think people would pay $15-20 an hour (or a percentage of the purchase price) for this service? Any help would be great, thanks! And don't forget your own opinions, no matter what they are!
