The Tinggly Journal publishes gift guides, experience ideas and travel stories written by the team at Tinggly, the experience gift company. This page explains who writes our articles, how we choose what to recommend, how we check facts and how we keep articles up to date.
Who writes the Journal
Every article is written by a named member of the Tinggly team. Each author has a profile page with their role, background and links to their professional profiles, and their name links to it from every article they write.
How we choose what to recommend
We judge gift ideas against the same questions:
- Memorable: will people still talk about it a year later?
- Shared: does it bring more than one person together?
- Travels well: does it work across countries and time zones, for family and friends who live far apart?
- Low clutter: how little does it leave behind?
Most of our recommendations are experiences, because research shows that experiential gifts strengthen relationships more than material gifts. We also recommend gifts Tinggly does not sell, such as DIY ideas and personalised keepsakes, when they are the better fit.
Our own products
The Journal is part of Tinggly, so our articles recommend Tinggly gift boxes, gift cards and experiences where they fit. Prices, discounts and availability change, so check the product page for current details before you buy.
Facts and sources
When an article cites a statistic or a study, we link to the original source in the text and list it under “Sources” at the end of the article. Product facts, such as the number of experiences, countries and group sizes, come from Tinggly’s product pages and are checked whenever the article is updated.
Updates
We review our seasonal gift guides before each season. When an article is updated, the date at the top changes and the note at the end of the article shows when it was last reviewed.
Corrections and feedback
If you spot a mistake or something out of date, tell us through Tinggly Support and we will correct it. You can also use the “Was this article helpful?” buttons at the end of every article: we read the results.
