The holiday season is a gifting event. Every apparel store needs a gift set builder, not just a sale banner.
The hacks
Holiday outfit bundles by recipient type
Gift for her: cashmere scarf + gloves + beanie set. Gift for him: wallet + belt + tie set. Gift for teens: hoodie + cap + socks set. Recipient framing makes the bundle selection easy.
Holiday gift set builder with curated outfits
Step 1: pick the main piece (sweater, jacket, scarf). Step 2: add a complementary item. Step 3: select holiday gift packaging. Tiergain builds the guided gift flow with mandatory packaging step.
Holiday tiered gift pricing (small/medium/large gift)
Small gift ($49): scarf. Medium ($89): scarf + gloves + hat. Large ($134): full outfit with accessories. The medium tier is the anchor - 63% of holiday gift buyers pick it.
Free holiday packaging at $99 threshold
Spend $99, get free premium holiday packaging - gift box, tissue paper, ribbon, and card. The packaging costs you $5 but feels like a $20 wrapping service.
Holiday bundle landing page with gift guides
Build a dedicated holiday gift guide page with bundles organized by recipient and budget. Tiergain structures each gift option as a bundle with progressive pricing.
Post-purchase upsell: add a gift card to the package
After buying the gift set, offer a $25 gift card to include in the package. Holiday gift buyers say yes because it rounds out the present.
