The FactorDaily gifting guide is here to help you spread holiday cheer

Anand Murali December 9, 2016 4 min

“It’s not the gift but the thought that counts,” goes an oft-repeated saying. Well, we beg to differ. While the thought is important, the gift matters too. As much to the giver as to the receiver. With the holiday season around the corner, we just made your job easier with the FactorDaily holiday gifting guide.

We’ve got something for everyone — from your fitness-crazy significant other and gadget-savvy sibling, to that movie buff cousin and bibliophile aunt. So, go ahead and spread some joy this festive season. Whoever said money can’t buy happiness obviously wasn’t spending their money in the right place!

Bose QC 35
