Personal shoppers: gift shopping before the holidays

Before the holidays, busy people want someone to handle their gift list: ideas, shopping, sometimes wrapping. Demand comes all at once, in a few weeks. With Book, clients book a gift shopping session on your own booking page during the season you open, and the slots close on the end date you set.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Say in the description whether the price covers your time only, not the gifts.

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open gift services from early November and set the end date a few days before the holiday, so you have time to deliver. A booked slot leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the number of people on the list, rough budget per gift and any must-haves. Ask for the full list by email.

When you shop alone, book the collection or hand-over yourself from your bookings list once the gifts are ready. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

A short video brief saves a trip. Send your link by email: Book doesn't create video links.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't buy gifts, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on video briefs for busy clients. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
