Find a trusted holiday personal assistant near you

Hiring your own holiday shopper means that you pay that person a fixed fee. Holiday shoppers employed by brands and retail stores are often paid on a commission basis. That means the latter is motivated to give you higher prices and encourage you to buy more. The former, however, is more focused on getting your holiday shopping done in the best way for you.

Most personal shoppers mix online and in-store retail to find the best gifts available. There are minimal limitations when it comes to sourcing specialized, customized, or even rare pieces since many online stores abroad ship to the US. In-store shopping can be done if there’s a big mall or retail outlet in your area to avoid additional costs for shipping and any waiting time.

Yes, definitely! You can set up a meeting with your chosen Tasker to decide what gifts to get for everyone on your list. Holiday shoppers may have the experience to help you curate where to get gifts while you still know your family and friends best. This way, you can identify what needs to be bought without going over budget or leaving anyone important out.

No. Airtasker would never ask or advise you to share your credit card information with anyone, including Taskers. You can decide to wire a budget for liquidation at the start or have your Tasker include the total expenses of buying the gifts in your final bill.

This depends on your preference. Taskers love to go the extra mile, but wrapping the gifts and delivering them on your own during your days off from work can save you a few bucks. In any case that your holiday shopper can’t accommodate your gift wrapping and delivery requests, there are other Taskers that you can hire for these tasks through the same, easy process.

Meals for potluck and groceries to prepare for Christmas do fall under holiday shopping. However, it’s best to be clear about what you need at the start when you put up a task. A Tasker may be more skilled in finding vintage and high-end gifts than finding deals in your go-to supermarket or the other way around. Other Taskers are fine doing both! Just be clear on what you need, and a nearby Tasker will readily send you an offer!
