It might sound controversial, it may even be taboo, but instead of giving someone more 'things' could the best gift of all be offering to spend the money you would have spent on a tshirt or a trinket, to help pay someone's bill?
Christmas is coming, and we all know what that means: shopping! But do people really need more things or do they need financial security?
The answer is probably, in a way, a bit of both. People love receiving things, but this year with cost of living raging, maybe the best gift of all is the lights being on for another month, or the water bill paid, so people feel that bit more secure.
HelpPay's co-founder explains: "let's say your budget for your friend is $50. What if you give them a $20 gift and spend $30 helping pay their electricity bill, gas bill, water bill or car registration? Ultimately it's not much different from a gift-card, but the person receives the added relief that comes from not being under financial pressure or worrying about bills in January, as much.
