Thanksgiving
For the person feeding everyone, or a thank-you for the host. Start with the cook's guide, or take the Gift quiz and answer for their job.
Start with: Chef gift guide · Gift quiz · Holiday & sales on the hub
Every gift has a date attached to it — a holiday, an appreciation week, a last day, a first day. This calendar lines the year's gift-giving occasions up in one place and does what GiftMyJob always does with them: it sends you to the gift guide for the job the person actually does. There are no separate “occasion products” here. An occasion just tells you when and why; the job tells you what.

The dated occasions, in the order they come round — each with its next date and the guides it starts from.

Birthdays · Thank-yous · New jobs · Retirements
These don't wait for a date on this calendar. The quizzes handle all four: the Gift quiz for any gift, the Coworker quiz for a work gift. Both land on the same job guides everything else here points to.

This is the Coworker quiz's whole job: three questions — who, what do they do, what style — and it opens their job's guide. Or find their job on the hub and go straight there.

The method: an occasion tells you when to give and roughly why. It never tells you what — the job does that. So whatever brought you to this page, finish the same way: pick their job, open its guide, and choose from picks gathered for that work. If the date is close and you're stuck, the two quizzes are the fastest way through: three questions for a work gift, six for any gift.
