Choose Gifts According to Budget
Wiz Gift Shop uniquely offers a helpful area of recommendations for gift exchanging according to your budget.
Gift exchange games and activities such as ‘Secret Santa’ are very common in Taiwan around Christmas time. They are typically played between, friends, classmates, and co-workers.
Budgets for gift exchanging are usually agreed to be either $300, $500, or even $1,000 depending on the game or activity.
$1,000 Christmas Gifts
Wiz Gift Shop provides an impressive selection of options since $1,000 is at the top end of gift budgets.
That’s why in this budget range, much of their best-featured items from all across the store are here.
It’s worth browsing this decent section for ideal Christmas gifts for friends and family back home.
$500 & $300 Gift Exchanges
The $500 and $300 are the most common budgets for gift exchange.
The prices are not too high, and the gifts in this selection are pretty decent for both men and women, so be sure to take a good look.
Below $300 Gifts
