I'm also one of those weirdos who starts making gift lists like at the end of summer and starts buying gifts really slowly over the next few months. But, you know, things do ramp up for me during Black Friday, and there are some things on my list for sure.

Many of us are tight on time during the holiday season. I don't know about you guys, but I have like a million lists running in my head of things I have to do, including finding the right gifts for all the people in my life.

Here's what we propose. Rather than sort of spin your wheels trying to think of the perfect gift, only to settle on something that's just okay because you felt rushed or stumped. I've been there lots of times. You don't feel great about the gift, but at least you had one, right? Let's stop that.

We recommend OpenAI's ChatGPT, and it has a good free version that's easy to use. And frankly, it's what we use here at NerdWallet.

So you'll first need to create a username and a login.
